Purples from IEC 2019

I'm slowly going through the polishes from Indie Expo Canada last summer.  Some I've wore and shared, others I've wore and still have to share and well, there's a whole lot that I haven't even got on my nails yet! In fact, they are still in the IEC VIP bag from the event, beckoning me to sort and put them away.  But I have intentions of getting them on my nails first and every so often, I peek into the bag and pick one or more polish to do a mani with.  At some point, I'll get through them, I just don't know when that is!  In the meanwhile, please enjoy the one I did do and am sharing now!

Started with a base of KBShimmer Thanks for Poutine Up With Me (VIP bag polish) with Girly Bits Orchid-ing Me Right? (Indie Expo Canada 19 Cocktail Reception Exclusive); both of these polishes were from Indie Expo Canada 2019. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from DRK B using MdU 16 and 116.   Some nails had a gradient; some were just the one stamping polish.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  Just noticed that the stamping polish had reaction with the polish and the top coat and turned dark purple.  Still looks cool though!

For anyone who didn't know, there will be no Indie Expos Canada 2020; however, let's keep our fingers crossed for 2021!

Thanks for looking!

Baking Themed Mani f. Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu

Do you bake?  I love to bake....I made an Apple Crumble Pie on Sunday; last night, I made Banana Chocolate Chip Bread....if this trend continues, I think the next thing I'm going to have to make is an appointment at the local gym! 

Anyway, when it came time to do my nails last night, I still had baking on the brain so decided to do a dessert/sweets/baking themed mani...here's what I came up with.

Started with a base of OPI Berlin Done That from the OPI Germany collex.  This is two coats, no topcoat.

Added a coat of Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu and topped with SV.  I can see Tiramisu reflected in this unique polish... so I thought it was an appropriate choice for my baking themed mani!

Stamped sweets are BM 307 (ring finger), SdP C-18 (cupcake on middle), LLC 3 (pie on thumb), BM308 (cupcake on pinky and donut on middle), CH41 (pie on thumb) and DRK-B (index finger) using white Konad special polish.

Looking at my nails, the cupcake on the pinky and the cake on the thumb were just screaming to me...add a cherry on top!  So added some rhinestone 'cherries'.

Topped with SV to finish. 

I seen Fingers Polish Mania is absolutely loving Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu. Her post shows how different Tiramisu looks when layered using different base polishes...if you'd like to see what I'm talking about, please go here. Oopsie Daisies Tiramisu** is available via Oopsie Daisies Etsy store here. 

Oh, and in case you thought I was joking about making banana chocolate chip loaf last night.....I texted this pix to my friend last night right after I had taken them out of the pans....she responded she could smell them over at her place...then wanted to know how soon I'd be over with some for her!  And no, she's not a baker!

Thanks for looking!
