Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

There's a lot of years we don't get enough snow, or good snowman building snow, but this year isn't one of them!  We've already had one snowman on our front lawn and I'm sure there will be more before winter is out!  This is also being used for #MusicManiMonday as believe it or not, there is a song called Do You Want To Build A Snowman?! 

Started with a base of Glam Polish Who Is The Hansomest....Me! over Cupcake White Pop (middle and ring), Orly Midnight Oasis (thumb) and Orly Rise & Shine topped with Emily de Molly It Calls Me Back (index and pinky).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Simply Polished Christmas (snowman on ring), UberChic UC Let It Snow (middle and snowflakes on index and pinky), and MoYou London Noel 19 using MdU 11, 13, 91, Painted Polish Deux 2.0, Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate.

    

Added a few snowflakes on middle from UC Simply Polished and dots using MdU 91 for interest and filler.  I kind of had a mishap with the dot on the thumb as I smudged it when I went to take the picture so had to fix it up a bit.

Trick or Treat !

I like to make non traditional colours for holiday themed nails and this is one Halloween themed nail that isn't in a traditional Halloween colour.  But it's still cute!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.  This is one of my favourite polishes to use and one of the few bottles of polish that I own that has a fill line.  Good thing I have a back up bottle already!  Accent nail is Lilypad Lacquer You Will Respect My Authoritahh! PPU July 2024.

Topped a couple more nails with Emily de Molly Guiding Light.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Swirls

Oh look!  Another another layered mani!  Big surprise unless you're new to the blog!  Here's what I came up with!

OPI Keeping Suzy At Bay, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with Lemming Lacquer I Blow Bubbles When You Are Not Near; one coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Emily de Molly EdM 06 using CjS stamping polish 080.

After topping with Girly Bits Glitter Glaze, topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Funny note:  I was a little bit aggressive with top coat, with a little bit too much on the index finger lol which gave that nail a bit of an odd shape!  

It was just a tad thick!

Girly Bits Give Me One Good Raisin

I thought I'd do a mani with my bottle of Girly Bits Give Me A Good Raisin for the winning posts; here's what I came up with!

Started with two coats of Girly Bits Give Me A Good Raisin, no top coat.  

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

I wasn't really sure which stamping polish colour would look best with this moody beauty; I ended up using MdU 33 Light Gray using images from Emily de Molly EDM 22.
