Let It Snow! Yes, Yet Another Snowflake Mani!

Not a snowflake in sight today but this was another favourite snowflake mani I did this winter season so wanted to make sure I got it posted before spring!  So many mani's, not enough time!  

This base was destiny waiting to happen; these two polishes were sitting side by side when I was looking for a polish to wear in my stash.  Girly Bits OOAK withe accent of Girly Bits Sugar Beach IEC Toronto 2017.  

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from MM30 (middle and index), B. Loves B.05 Let It Snow (pinky and thumb) and Marianne Nails Professional n.31 (ring) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Decided to shadow stamp the accent finger using MdU 14.  It was a perfect match to the base colour on the rest of the nails, although it doesn't look so much like it here.  But it was.  Take my word for it!

 

Topped everything off with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Still Sharing Christmas Mani's!

Today is a relaxing day just lounging around the house, eating leftover turkey sandwiches and watching movies most of the day!  I thought I'd share the nails that I was wearing on Christmas day and still wearing today...they might even be my favourite of the season this year although those cute reindeer nails that I shared yesterday are hard to beat! Here's what I came up with!

I wish I could water marble; in my mind, I had a wonderful green, red and white water marble in my head that I wanted as the base.  But I have no water marble skills, so did the next best thing; stamper smooshy base.  It turned out like a hot mess and was a PITA to clean up even though I used latex but even though it is kinda the ugliest smooshy base you ever did see, it was a great base in hindsight for the stamping!  This is OPI Envy the Adventure, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Color Club Catwalk.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from What's Up Nails B003 (index, thumb and pinky), Messy Mansion MM30 (middle) and Lina Can't Wait for Xmas! 02 (ring) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.   I have to say, I love the ring finger; I thought it would be a cool mani if all nails were stamped with it but there's always next year!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does My Home; Day 3

It's day 3 of the theme my home for Digit-al Dozen week!  This is my mani based upon one of my holiday towels in the bathroom at my house!  I've also decided to use this mani for the Nail Polish Canada holiday contest.  Please go here , check out all the wonderful entries and vote for your favourite one! Thanks!

Started with a base of three coats of OPI My Wish List is You.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

For a festive look, added a thin coat of Pure Ice Yule Be Cool to accents.

Decided to add heavier coat to those nails, plus on the middle, then stamped thumb using MJ XXXVIII and ring with an image from Sugar Bubbles Special 02 using MdU 1.

Stamped pinky and index using same image from Messy Mansion MM30 and middle with SPH-004.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Let It Snow!

I feel with Christmas just a few short days away, I should be sharing Christmas nails, but nope, here I am sharing more snow mani's!  I guess all the white stuff we've been having has gotten to me! 

Started with a base of two coats of Glam Polish It's Now or Never; shown with no top coat.

Did a sponged gradient using these Glam's:  It's Now OR Never, Someday My Prince Will Come and Remember The Monsters?

Did a coat of KBShimmer before stamping.  Not the best pix as there is a whole lot of glitter and sparkle here but it was very cool IRL!

I made a stamper decal using MoYou Festive Collection 46.  I thought I would show the polish placement for the stamping.  The image wasn't that well thought out to me; if you wanted a black outline for the snowman, that means all the snowflakes dots are black!  Who wants that??  If you stamp in white to have white snowflake dots, then no outline for the snowman!  This was my attempt to correct the plate deficiency! Even with this, I had a couple black snowflake dots, I just removed them on the stamper and put in with a white dot.  

This is what my stamper decal turned out like.  So you can see the white dots and the black outline, then I filled it in with paints (not very well...I think I need a magnifying glass lol...but OK to visible eye!).  I added a little KBShimmer White Here White Now at the base of the snowman for some snow interest.

Applied stamper decal from MoYou Festive Collection-46 on thumb, then added images from Sugar Bubbles SBS08 (middle) using GirlyBits Sapphire stamping polish, MdU Christmas 1 (index), MJ XXXVIII (pinky) and MessyMansion MM30 (ring) using FunkyFingers Gesso.  I also double stamped on the middle finger with same image for the snow flakes as well as added random ones on ring and index.

Messy Mansion MM30.

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

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.



Stamped using images from Vivid Lacquer VL039 (dress mannequin on pinky, scissors and sewing machine on ring), Messy Mansion MM30 (tape and buttons on index and button on ring), Marianne Nails n.38 (designer at the drawing board doing conception drawing on middle) and Marianne Nails n.28 (model on thumb).  Used Funky Fingers Dark Knight as stamping polish.
