Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It's St. Patrick's Day; may you find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, don't drink too much green beer and stay away from those foolish leprechauns!  

Started with a base of two coats of Daily Hues What Band is Next? on white soft blur base, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UC mini: St. Patrick's Day 4

Stamped using image from UberChic mini: St. Patrick's Day 4 using Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery with accent of MdU Irish 1.

Shadow stamped all images using same plate with Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey 2.0.  Also added a few shamrocks on the thumb and shadow stamped them as well.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Ms. Cindy; similar images but not quite the same.  The first layer of stamping is a bunch of greens as I was trying to figure out which green I wanted to use for the shared mani.

Thanks for looking!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  

These were the first nails I did for the occasion and my favourite this year.  I also did two other mani's for St. Patrick's Day based upon the polishes I used here; I liked them so much that they needed mani's of their own!  Here's what I came up with!

Polishes used starting at thumb and going clockwise; OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (2 coats), Anchor & Heart Dream Stone (2 coats), Daily Hues What Band is Next? (3 coats), OPI Envy The Adventure (2 coats) and Native War Paints Zombie Unicorns Love Brains (3), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from UberChic UC mini: St. Patrick's Day (thumb, index and pinky), and Messy Mansion MM04 (middle) using MdU 1 and 37.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped ring finger using UC mini: St. Patrick's Day using Moyra Black Gel stamping polish, then rubbed gold loose powder on it and then dusted off any excess.

Stamped coins from image MoYou Festive 21 using same Moyra gel stamping polish and again rubbed on loose gold powder, rubbed it in etc.  Topped that nail with Shine Topcoat by SOPHi.

Digit-al Dozen Does Books; Day 4

I know.  This does look like a St. Patrick's Day mani (and I guess it is doing double duty as I do want to get my St. Pat's mani's posted before the 17th!) so I'm using it today for the Digit-al Dozen book challenge.  Thankfully we have a lot of liberty how we interpret the theme so this Irish looking mani is based upon a book that I read from one of my favourite authors, Nora Roberts.  The book is called Irish Thoroughbred and is the first book in the Irish Legacy trilogy.  I've also read Irish Rose which is also part of the trilogy but not the last book, Irish Rebel.  Anyway, here's my final nails for the Digit-al Dozen book challenge!

Started with a base of two coats of Daily Hues What Band Is Next?, no top coat.  This is a perfect base of a St. Patrick's Day (or Irish!) mani.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on top.

Stamped using images from MoYou Festive-21 (all fingers except pinky) and CJS H-14 (pinky only as the other image is too big to fit!) using MdU 37.  Added a few smaller shamrocks using different image on same MoYou Festive-21.

Clear Jelly Stamper CJS H-14

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
