Spring Is In The Air!

Spring is in the air!  We've had warm temperatures and lots of rain...typical spring weather!  To me, these nails scream spring too, so I thought I'd share them now.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Chasity, no top coat.

Topped with Glam Polish Sunset Surf (Group Custom 2023), no top coat.

Blue and Daisy Nails

As I mentioned a post or two ago, I have lots of nails to share but there isn't much variety that isn't blue or a daisy nail.  So surprise, surprise...here's a blue daisy nail!  But like I mentioned in the post, these daisy nails are what I like to wear on my nails, so I do them often, although I do try to change up how they look if I'm so inspired so they aren't so repetitive.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI Tile Art To Warm Your Heart (thumb), OPI Duomo Days, Isola Nights (index and pinky) and Glam Polish Who Is The Most Hansomest....Me! over a coat of Cupcake White Pop, no top coat.

Topped the index and pinky with Garden Path Always Dark.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines with MdU 68 using image from Lilic's A08.

Added daisies from CjS-346 using MdU 68 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Decided to shadow stamp some of the daisies on the middle and ring finger using Painted Polish Deux 2.0.  Unfortunately, I didn't line up the shadow very well, but I wasn't mad about it; I think this gives the images lots of colour and interest.

Added floral centers using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Zigzags!

A lot of days, I want to change my nails, but lack inspiration as to what to put on them.  I pick a plate and to change things up a bit, I do some layering or a few different polishes, which is what I did here.  I think it worked out?!?!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, two coats, and OPI NFTease Me, which needed three coats to opaque, no top coat.

Topped the two fingers on the OPI base (middle and ring), with Pahlish Boo Bayoo Test Batch; thumb with Ribbits Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (LBOH Feb 2025), and the index and pinky were topped with Glam Polish A Fine Addition to my Collection.  I'm seriously loving the look for the blue flakies from Pahlish Boo Bayoo; it's one of my favourite layering polishes!

Another St. Patrick's Day Mani

Look at me; doing a second St. Patrick's Day mani in one day!  I had done quite a few St. Pats manis but time got away from me and I didn't get them shared, so while I have a good start to next years themed manis, I wanted to share another as I have them ready to share.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Pahlish Wild Lands (pinky, middle, index), Painted Polish Irish You Luck on Cupcake White Pop (ring) and Zoya Tilda (thumb).

Topped thumb with Glam Polish Wicked Cute.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using CjS H-103 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, MdU 50, MdU 8 and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey.  Stamped index and pinky with image from BeautyBigBang XL-067 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, and ring and middle with image from Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish, having shrunk the words on the ring finger, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and MdU 39.

Shadow stamped middle with MdU 39 and ring with Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey.

Added small shamrocks on ring, middle and thumb using image from CjS H-50 Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey.

CjS H-103

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Accent nail is Jen & Berries The Thing Cannot Be Described (LBOH February 2025), stamped with image from Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  May you find a pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow!  

Started with a layered base of CND DC 2521 Quantum Leap (not shown) topped with one thin coat of Glam Polish The Juice is Loose.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using images from MoYou Festive 75 (lines on pinky and index and shamrocks on middle and ring), UberChic UC mini: St. Patrick's Day (thumb) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added shamrocks on index and pinky using Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish using What's Up Nails The Other Side.  The design got lost so I found shamrocks on other plates that actually fit pretty well on Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover, so outlines with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This is Ms. Cindy; same base polishes and then stamped with an image from UC mini:  St. Patrick's Day 4 (told you it was one of my favourite images as mentioned in last post!)

Wasn't It A (St. Patrick's Day) Party!

With St. Patrick's Day being tomorrow, this past weekend was a popular day for St. Patrick's Day parties (or so I'm told), so sharing these fun nails that would have been perfect for a party, had I gone to one.  And the perfect St. Patrick's Day party song is Wasn't It A Party by The Irish Rovers, for #MusicManiMonday.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Glam Polish Happy Grass (PPU March 2025) on pinky and index, Glam Polish There Ain't Nothing Gonna Stop Me Now on thumb, and DND DC 2521 Quantum Leap on the rest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Excuse the smear on the middle; it was three coats of polish and wasn't quite dry.

Stamped using images from M561 on index and pinky using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and What's Up Pod Partners.  Thumb is also Maniology M561, shadow stamped using MdU 11 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Ring finger is MdU Irish 1 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, MdU 13 and China Glaze GR8 on the hat band on the stamper decal.  Middle finger is layered stamping using CjS H-104 using MdU 60,68, 39, 11, 13 and Moyra SP02 in that order for the rainbow.  The gold coins are stamped with Hit the Bottle To Have and to Gold with image from CjS H-104.  The orange on the ring and finger was a grid type of stamping image that didn't stamp well so I had to go in another direction.

Isolated the coins from the image on CjS H-104 and stamped them using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Hand painted the rainbow on the thumb (not very well!).

Added a few accents for interest and filler with images from Maniology M561 on middle, thumb and ring using Painted Polish Woodland Whimsy and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
