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!

Digit-al Dozen Does Marble; Day 3

I'm late with my day 3 Digit-al Dozen mani but what else is new lately!  

This mani didn't turn out to be what I had in mind but that's OK, I don't think that's unusual when you do your nails.  In my case, I had done a test nail with my vision using a pretty chunky glitter but when I sat down to do my nails, decided I didn't want to deal with the hassle of removing a chunky glitter on all my nails so went with a blingy holo that has easy removal instead!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Apipila p.6 using FunkyFingers Dark knight.

Stamped an image from Delaney Papillons 001 using MdU 69.

Shadow stamped same image using MdU 2.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This isn't the best picture but it shows the stamping a little better.

For reference, this was my test nail.  I just like how it turned out better.  But am happy didn't have the chunky glitter to remove!

Here's the other ladies day 3 mani's!  The other ladies are killing this challenge; please go check them out!

Quick and Easy Nails!

I love when a quick mani looks great!  Here's a tone on tone that I was wearing at the beginning of the summer!

Started with a base of four (yes, four!) coats of SpaRitual Intellect, no top coat.  Four coats gave better coverage than these pictures reflect.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Apipila Super Placa B using MdU 49.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

CbL Yes, I'm Loonie Too IEC 2018 Limited Edition

This stunner is an IEC 2018 limited edition from Colors by llarowe, CbL Yes, I'm Loonie Too.  Loving the play on words, us Canucks know it's in reference to our $1 coin affectionately coined the loonie. Or at least let's hope it is anyway lol!  I did gradient tone on tone stamping on it; here's what I came up with!  

Cbl Yes, I'm Loonie Too is a gorgeous turquoise based, scattered holo with green to red to gold shimmer with lilac flash and prismatic holographic flakies. Application was easy, there were no removal issues and I didn't experience any nail or skin staining.

Started with a base of two coats of CbL Yes, I'm Loonie Too, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Apipila Super Placa G using MdU 5, 6 and FunkyFingers Gesso.

I have to apologize for a couple things here; one, this is one of the first mani's I was trying all the different lighting and backgrounds with new camera so there is a lot of variation of poses, etc. all over the place.  This is also right after I cut down my middle nail that had two cracks in it as one crack had hit the free edge and I didn't want it to snag and tear; I don't think this was when it was at it's shortest but I know it doesn't match but didn't want to cut down the rest lol.  I am still growing out this nail; what a long six months or so it's been!  Thanks for tolerating the pictures but I still do my nails when they are good or bad; that's the nail fanatic in me!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This was an IEC 2018 CbL limited edition; it is still in stock at Hypnotic Polish here as well as at Rainbow Connection here.  Colors by Llarowe products are available here and at various stock lists; see site for more details.

Have a great weekend; thanks for looking!

IEC 2018 Silent Auction (Paint It Forward)

One of the most awesome aspects of Indie Expo Canada is the Silent Auction (Paint It Forward) with the proceeds being donated 100% to The Marvelle Koffler Breast Care Center at Mount Sinai Hospital.  I bid on a few items and was lucky enough to come home with a couple including this one, Ms. Sparkle Chemical X from the May 2018 Polish Pickup.  I haven't heard the 2018 donation tally, but in 2017, $1857 was raised so in addition to the funds going to a very worthy cause, you can take home some really fantastic things if you are the lucky bidder!  This post is picture heavy as it shows some of the fantastic items that were up for auction!  But first, this is the mani that I did using Ms. Sparkle Chemical X!



For this mani, started out with a base of two coats of Ms. Sparkle Chemical X from the May 2018 PPU.

Topped with a base of two coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from Apipila Super Placa E using MdU 11, 66 and FunkyFingers Gesso.

This is how it looks when you multiple scrape to blend the colours together.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  This would have been a great base for some layered fall or Halloween stamping and I meant to do some before I took it off but I forgot.  But I was thinking of the hot, sizzling summer when I did these nails and this represents that well, I think!

Below is a few pictures of the silent audition items.  This helmer storage unit from IKEA was filled with soooooo many polishes and products and was adorn with numerous vinyl stickers; this went home with one lucky lady!



Just a few of the products waiting for bids!





This cutlery set was stunning!

Thank you to all contributors for their donations and also to everyone who bid on the wide assortment of items; the proceeds went to a worthy cause!  I will update this post once I hear the final tally raised in 2018!
