Tribute to Ace Frehley


We lost another rock legend a couple weeks ago with the passing of Ace Frehley, original member of KISS, after a fall at home.  I did these nails as a tribute for Mani Music Monday and for the song, I Was Make for Lovin' You by Kiss released back in May 1979, which was when Ace was part of the band.  Here's what I came up with! 


Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and OPI Black Onxy, no top coat.


The black nails were layered with Polished for Days Interstellar and the white had Painted Polish 2019 added.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I wanted a little bit more pizzazz on the accent nails, so added a coat of Tins The Snow Love, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped stars using Classic Beauty BM-XL356 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then aces from Delaney Casino 001 (after increasing the size), and stamped ring with Apipila L18 (after increasing size and removing outline) and then MdU An Enanto 02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

MdU VZ L07




Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Maniology MXM081




I have a confession.  The plan was that I was going to stamp the spaceman image from Maniology MXM081 on the thumb as Ace was known as the Spaceman in the group.  But  messed up and stamped the stars on all nails, but added it to Ms. Cindy after shrinking it; here's what it looks like.   This base polish is Glisten & Glow Comet.


 I'm glad I added the stars as I like the look more and still on theme with stars in space!  


Thanks for looking and RIP, Ace.

Digit-al Dozen Does Albums; Day 3

Hopefully you have been enjoying the album mani's this week!  This is my day 3 mani with a tribute mani based upon a KISS album; took a few liberties because there are no face images of KISS (except Gene which is on a MdU plate that I happen to have on order but won't help for now!  Just realized his face is also on a MoYou London Back to the 70's plate too that I just looked at that I have too!)  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a skittle base of KBShimmer Eyes White Open, China Glaze Flame-boyant, Sally Hansen Celeb City and OPI Envy the Adventure, all two coats, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I made a few stamper decals using images from Apipila L18.  Filled in with KBShimmer Eyes White Open with a little SH Celeb City on nose of catman. 


Apipila L18.


Applied them.  Stamped thumb with Delaney Musique 001 for interest.


After adding a few accent stars from MoYou London Roxy 04 using Konad red stamping polish and MdU 1 and 2, topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.


Here's the album cover that the nails are based upon!


Here's the other ladies day 3 mani's!
