Breaking Out A 'Cult' Favourite!

One of my favourite colour combinations is royal blue and white and here I've combined it with another one of my favourite things; flakies.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Mallory, no top coat.

Topped with Cult Nails Clairvoyant.  

This wasn't quite the look I was seeking, so added a coat of Jrien Good Gris Gris (PPU Aug 2019), no top coat.

I was still looking for more, so layered this with Nine Zero Flakie All The Things Gold.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Stamped with image from Marianne Nails n.81 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

The next day, I added a coat of Essie Matte About You which highlighted all those layered polishes a bit better.  

Thanks for looking!

Happy Chinese New Year!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!  (Late, sorry but I had these in draft and didn't realize they didn't post!)

I've been trying to do more themed nails and did these Chinese New Year nails over the weekend.  It's Year of the Ox!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats JReine Goldschlanger with accent nails of two coats Laquistry Chinese New Year.  

Lacquistry Chinese New Year.  I remember when this came out, how hard it was to get a bottle but I finally snagged one at a restock.  And then never used it until now.  Why do we do that?  As I knowwww I'm not the only one.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After making stamper decals using image from Delaney Asiatique 001, applied them to the index and ring finger using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief.  Shadow stamped pinky using Maniology m044 using same polishes.  Stamped middle finger using MoYou London Zodiac 14 (numbers), Maniology M083 (words on middle) and MoYou London Zodiac 14 (thumb).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I did my hand slightly different; stamped Lesly LS-51 using PP Blanc Slate on a layered base of ees Knees Every 27 Years on a base of Sally Hansen CSM Red My Lips.  This was appropriate at the time as I did these nails on February 13th.

 Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  All the best to you and yours in 2019!

These are the nails I'll be wearing to ring in the new year!  Pretty fancy nails to be wearing while watching tv in my pajamas but that's OK!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of JReine Cosmetics Goldschlager.  What a stunner! 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 
Stamped using CbL Panther Stamping Polish using image from Sugar Bubbles SBS 014.  I really like this look just by itself lol!

Sugar Bubbles SBS 014.

I decided to do some shadow stamping; did numbers using Nicole by OPI Positive Energy using images from Maniology M042.  Used image HD-B on thumb.

Shadow stamped using same images with MdU 2.

Maniology M042

Love!  I know there's a lot happening here and it is pretty blingy especially with holo base then holo stamping polish then silver on top of the gold!  I'm glad I did the shadow stamping to make the numbers and words pop a little better.

 
Added KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Enjoy New Year's Eve whether you are sitting on the couch watching the ball drop like me or are out and about enjoying the festivities.  Be safe!

Thank for looking!
