Digit-al Dozen Does Patterns; Day 4

This is a pretty simple mani that throws a pretty good punch when it's done if I don't say so myself!  Unfortunately, life is so busy that I don't have much time to do really detailed, time consuming mani's but I still like to change my nails daily or close to it so simple is the order of the day most of the time!  It has a pretty cool pattern though and it's my Day 4 mani for Digit-al Dozen pattern week!

Started with a base of two coats of Pretty Serious Comfy Y-Fronts.  This is a pretty colour but I don't get the name at all.  Maybe someone can enlighten me? 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using FunkyFingers Gesso using image from MJ XLVI.

I'm going to be busy all weekend at Indie Expo Canada 2019 so please check out my Instagram for updates.  This also means I probablyyyy won't get my day 5 mani posted until Monday.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Digit-al Dozen Does Patterns; Day 3

It's day 3 of Digit-al Dozen pattern challenge  (I'm late, I'm sorry but life is just so busy!)!  I just did these nails a couple days ago; I thought I had done the mani's for the challenge (and I have!) but I liked these nails just a little better than another so decided to share now instead of another one!  The other Digit-al Dozen ladies are so talented; I have to try to bring my best mani's to try to keep up lol!  Anyway, here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie All Over The Wave, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Different Dimension Envy, part of the newly released 7 Deadly Sins collection.

Stamped using image from Apipila Super Placa A using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Digit-al Dozen Does Patterns; Day 2

It's day 2 of Digit-al Dozen pattern week and I did these pattern on pattern nails which are a little different but I try to think outside of the box sometimes for challenges and holidays and this is one of those times!  Yes, the dots are a pattern and so is the water marble design!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Ruby Kisses Barbie Purple, no top coat.  Perfectly named lol!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped image from Moyra 103 Birds Always Sing using Painted Polish Stamped in Rose, Stamped in Taro and Thirty and Flirty.

Unfortunately, the gradient stamping wasn't giving me the punch I wanted for my nails, so decided to double stamp using an image from Kelly Negri KN 17 using Painted Polish Deux 2.0.  This is more my style!

Digit-al Dozen Does Patterns: Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week; our prompt this week is patterns!  For Day 1, I decided to use a bunch of images that were all in a pattern; hopefully you can still see it on my short nails but it is more evident on the stamping plate!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a smooshy stamper base using Fancy Gloss Ocean Breeze, Blue Skies, Neon Blue and Striking Blue.

  

These were the polishes used!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Born to Sail 01 and Lina Born to Sail 02 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Digit-al Dozen Does Christmas in July, Day 4

These wild and crazy nails are for day 4 of  Christmas in July challenge for Digit-al Dozen!  Santa chillax-ing in the pool with Rudolph, and laying under the lit palm trees!  And how cute is that too tight Hawaiian shirt from Santa indulging in all those cookies on the index finger?  Accent is reindeer and Santa;s sleigh sailing over the palm trees!  Perfect for Christmas in July challenge!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Tilda on index, OPI It's A Boy on middle, sponged gradient of Fancy Gloss Neon Blue and Blue Skies on thumb and pinky and Fancy Gloss Neon Orange, Neon Orange/Yellow and Neon Yellow on ring finger.  Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 

I had made a couple stamper decals from Creative Shop 157.

 Applied them to thumb and middle.  Also did a decal using same image plate Creative Shop and applied it directly on the index.  Stamped ring finger using images from Betina B-19 and Chez Delaney Noel A007 using MdU 2.  Pinky is stamped with image from Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 01 using MdU 1..

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added a few stamper decals to make the Hawaiian shirt on the index finger using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 02 and MdU polishes.  Also added some white trim to Santa's hats on middle and thumb, as well as more colourful bulbs/lights on the thumb.  Added beach sand using Zoya Godiva on thumb and pinky.  For this mani, I used MdU 1, 2, 9, 11, 52, 81, 91 and 101 in some capacity.  I also used an assortment of regular polishes to fill in the stamper decals but didn't keep track of them; however, they were mainly older CND's.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thought that matte topcoat might show up some of imagery better, so added a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte.

Digit-al Dozen Does Christmas in July - Day 3

Still sharing nails for Christmas in July challenge although these aren't like a play on the holiday but rather sharing them literally lol.  Like these are Christmas nails and I'm sharing them in July!   Good thing we can interpret the challenge as we wish!  I love how these turned out; I did them this past winter but unfortunately, didn't have time to share.  Here's what I came up with!

Can't decide which picture I like better!

Started with a base of Girly Bits Winter Whiplash (November 2018 Polish Pickup), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Ejiubus EjB-03 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Digit-al Dozen Does Christmas in July; Day 2

For my day 2 Christmas in July look, I'm sharing nails that can pretty much be worn any time of the year!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  Topped with Great Lakes Lacquer I Speak For The Trees.  This is a stunning polish that looks like glistening snow to me, which is why I bought it!  Hopefully you can see the coolness of this mani by looking past my hand redness and poor cuticles; this was around when they were at their worst but I was still doing my nails!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using MdU Christmas 7 using MdU 1.

Digit-al Dozen Does Christmas in July; Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week and our theme this week is Christmas in July!  I have to forewarn you, my nails this month are more winter in July than Christmas but it's winter in my neck of the woods at Christmas time so it still counts...right??!  Well, I'm going with it!  Here's what I came up with for my day 1 mani!

Started with a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Pink Dreams, no top coat.  One coat provides good coverage but I did a second pretty much out of habit!  And please excuse the little fibers; I did these nails in between doing laundry and didn't notice them while doing my nails!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped image from Creative Shop 153 at the tips of a few nails using FunkyFingers Gesso, then stamped using the layering images from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02, first using Fancy Gloss Imperial.  This is another one coater that stamps well!  The only issue is that it dries veryyyyy fast so stamp quickly!

Creative Shop 153

Stamped the second layering image from same plate using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Then the last layering image using Fancy Gloss Neon Pink.

Stamped accent nails using another image from the same Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 plate again using Fancy Gloss Imperial as well as stamped the snow flakes again using Creative Shop 153 using the same polish.

Added a few random dots on accent fingers using FunkyFingers Gesso and on all nails using Fancy Gloss Neon Pink to colour coordinate all the nails!
