Hearts!

I have so many Valentine's Day mani's to share, that I'm starting now with my favourite this year.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of my favourite blue creme, China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.

Topped with Dreamland Lacquer Wrangled At The Rodeo, one thin coat.  This is one of my favourite polish combinations!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from ManiologyM401 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Stamped using image from OM-H03.

The heart stamping wasn't very opaque, so stamped it again, trying to stamp exactly where it was first placed.  Didn't do too bad of a job!

While I thought this was pretty cool, I decided to stamp a smaller heart from the same plate on the larger white heart, using Painted Polish Stamped in Saltwater.

There was even another smaller heart and I thought briefly about stamping it on the blue heart with white polish, but I thought I had better not press my luck as these had all lined up pretty good, so finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Also, this mani is for #MusicManiMonday; Heart...What About Love?

Thanks for looking!

Squiggly Lines

I love the combination of the layering for the base polish, I just hope the stamping didn't cover too much of it!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.

Topped with Dreamland Wrangled At the Rodeo (PPU June 2023).  Love this combination and am so glad I have a back of this polish!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from PY-J036 using MdU 91.

Did double stamping using same image with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

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

Smitten Sunny Side Up and Apipila P.2

Another archived mani; yes, I'm still doing my nails about several times a week but have soooo many mani's in archives because I do my nails at a great rate that I can do posts so need to get some of these up!  I lost about 2500 pictures not too long ago by fingers moving faster than my brain and then accidentally deleted them; I tried a recovery program but still wasn't able to recover them.  So I'm hoping if I get some older mani's posted, as well as delete some ones that are so fugly no one is ever going to want to see them anyway, that I won't have to worry so much about accidental deletions and what not.  So these nails that I'm sharing are almost two years old now; I love how they turned out and not really sure why I didn't share them sooner but glad they weren't deleted in the brain freeze purge!

Started with a base of two coats of Smitten (now Dreamland) Sunny Side Up, no top coat

I remember how exciting getting Smitten/Dreamland Sunny Side Up was as there weren't many yellow holos on the market at the time.  This pix, you can see the holo a little bit better!

Stamped using FUN black stamping polish using an image from Apipila P.2.  The stamping doesn't look that crisp here; I'm not sure if there was a problem with the plate or it could have been not a good press onto the nail and a little movement which I know sometimes happens which causes the shadowing. 

Added a few dots for interest.

Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Hope you're having a wonderful week; thanks for looking!
