Hugs and Kisses!

Another moody blue Valentine mani that was a lot of fun to do and I think it turned out pretty cute!  Here's  what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension polish.  It had no label on the bottom; I don't know if it was there and I lost it or it was a mystery proto; if you recognize it, please let me know!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UberChic UC Queen of Hearts

Stamped using UC Queen of Hearts (pinky and index), Apipila Love (thumb and middle) and Lina All About Love 02 (ring) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, MdU 91 and UC Stamping Polish Cloud Canvas.  The three colours were used in each ring on the pinky and index and then a scraped gradient on the middle and thumb and shadow stamping was done on the ring finger.  I particularly liked the thumb nail and did a mani of just it later on.  Added a couple of random hearts on the ring finger as well using UC Queen of Hearts as well.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking!

MdU ZZ Valentine S5

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Adorably Clueless with accent nails of Painted Polish Don't Go Bacon My Heart, which was over Cupcake White Pop.

Did a sponged gradient using Morgan Taylor Adorably Clueless and You Optopi My Heart, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped ring, middle and index with image from MdU ZZ Valentine S5.  Did a gradient stamp on the thunb using imagine from Lina All About Love 02 using Moyra SP19 and Maniology B463 and did a heart using same polishes using image from Lesly Love Me.

Shadow stamped thumb using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and then did a stamper decal with the same image on the pinky using Morgan Taylor Optopi and Midnight Mischief.  That thumb....love!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Started with a sponged gradient using Color Club Holy Chic!, Island Vibes and Puccini-licious.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. (I had a little bit of polish flick onto the nail on the middle when taking off the latex, so annoying!  I made sure to put part of the stamped image on it.)

Stamped using BM-317 with accent nail of Lina All About Love-02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Have a wonderful Valentine's no matter what you do!

It's Love Time!

With the arrival of February 1st, I'm going to be sharing Valentine's Day mani's for the next little while, starting with this one!  This is one of the most typical Valentine's Day mani's that I'll be sharing; the rest are more non-traditional, that's for sure.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of pink skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise, polishes used are:  WingDustCollections Beach Bum, Different Dimension April Showers Bring May Showers, Potion Polish The Glen Fairy, Pahlish Skyward and Painted Polish OK, Bloomer, no top coat.  Coats vary from 2-4 coats, with the WingDust needing the most, mainly to get some of those big glitters out!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using assortment of images using Painted Polish Blanc Slate: UberChic Love and Marriage 03 (middle), Bunny Nails HD-B (index and ring), Lina All About Love 02 (thumb) and Lina All About Love 01 (pinky), no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Swooning over that WingDust on the thumb; those extra coats were worth it!!

Thanks for looking!

 

Love!

I'm sharing a more traditional Valentine's Day mani, but it still is a little different with the microglitter accents!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Red My Lips topped with Painted Polish Seeing Stripes, with accent nails of El Corazon Confetti 530a, no top coat.

Added KBShimmer Clearly on Top on the red nails.

 

Stamped using image from UberChic Love & Marriage-04 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added stamping on the index and pinky using image from Lina Make Your Mark 02 using Konad red and Lina All About Love-02 on thumb using Painted Polish Stamped in Clay.

Shadow stamped thumb, index and pinky using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Ms. Cindy; I'm only sharing as I think this is the best shadow stamping I've done!

Slightly different lighting for a last look!

 Thank for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Texture; Day 4

Happy Valentine's Day!!  This mani is going to do double duty for Valentine's Day as well as day 4 of Digit-al Dozen texture challenge!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats each of El Corzaon N530A (thumb and middle), Claire's Galaxy (index and pinky) and Girly Bits Brrr-ch Please (ring), no top coat.

Added topcoat on all fingers except thumb and middle as the El Corazon dries matte and rough, making it appropriate for the texture challenge!

Stamped images from Marianne Nails Professional n.29 (thumb and middle) and Lina All About Love 02 (index, pinky and ring) using MdU 1 and 2.  Added heart to ring finger using same Lina plate using Konad red special stamping polish.

Lina All About Love 02

Marianne Nails Professional n.29

By hand and brush, filled in heart on pinky using same Konad red stamping polish.  Shadow stamped the thumb using Marianne Nails Professionals n.29.  Note:  I love the look of this image shadow stamped!  I'll have to do another mani sometimes using this image!

Unfortunately, the heart on the pinky didn't show up that well.  So found my rarely used and cherished FUN red stamping polish and redid the heart on the pinky.  Added heart to index using an image from the same Marianne Nails plate.  I didn't risk restamping the heart on the ring ring finger as I probably wouldn't line it up that well even with a clear stamper, plus it showed up pretty good on the light base colour, so left it.

Topped all fingers except the thumb and middle with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Here are the other ladies day 4 mani's!

Have a great Valentine's Day if you do that sort of thing, or have a great Thursday if it's just another day!  Thanks for looking!
