Floating On

I can see why this polish is called Float On; it is the colour of water that I would like to float in on a lazy summer afternoon.  It even sparkles like the reflection of the sun, hitting the water just so.  Stunning.

Started with a base of ILNP Float On, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Marianne Nails n05 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

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

Jacks!

Let the Halloween nails begin!  I usually do some type of variation of Jack-O'-Lantern faces and this is my nails for this year!

Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Tiki Tiki Laranga, no top coat.  This was such a vibrant orange!

Topped with By Vanessa Molina Tequila Sunrise, no top coat.  This made the nails even brighter!

Whats Up Nails B023 

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different.

I thought these were super cute and work them for almost a week!  I got lots of compliments on them too so I guess others thought they were cute too!  They were very bright and perfect for the season!

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.

Waves

I love to watch the waves in the ocean and take a lot of pictures of the waves coming in, rolling and then crashing to the beach.  Really, anything to do with water, I'm in.  I did a day trip to specifically to Nazare (IYKYK) when I did a European cruise a few years ago as I really wanted to see the 50, 60, 70 or even 80+ feet high waves and although they were large, they weren't the monster waves I was looking for but we still seen lots of waves and the coast line was still stunning.  Apparently they were the really big waves the day before we visited but it is one of those things onthat you have to be at the right place at the right time.  I do hope to return someone and see them.  In the meanwhile, these waves will have to do!

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuasion, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Stella Chroma Ghost, PPU September 2022.  Layering Ghost was the right call; it added a lot of umph to the base!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Marianne Nails n. 53 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Moyra SP 19, and Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle, no top coat.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!  I wish you and yours all the best this holiday season!

Started with a base of Fancy Gloss Tree Cakes over a coat of Polished for Days white soft focus, no top coat.  This is the quintessential holiday polish and as I have a backup bottle, I should be good for a few more years!  I also have a couple of the Tree Cake polishes with different tints as these type of polishes are right up my wheelhouse!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Beauty Big Bang 11

Stamped using image from Beauty Big Bang 11 using Moyra SP 02 with an accent nail using Marianne Nails n127.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Please enjoy your day with the ones that are closest to you.  Be present, revel in the time you have together and put your phone down.

Happy holidays!

 

Waves

This is one of my favourite images and one I use often when I can't decide what to put on my nails.  

Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuaion, topped with Polished for Days Just Keep Swimming.  Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Marianne Nails n. 53 using a blended gradient of Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Stamped in Taro and Moyra SP 19.  Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

I didn't plan on sharing this mani when I started out so didn't take pictures as I went along like I typically do, but liked how it turned out so decided to share anyway.  This picture shows why I didn't plan on sharing; my thumb nail was just growing out and while I was doing my nails somewhat, I wasn't taking pictures to share, just doing them for me.

Thanks for looking!
