Bee's Knees Lacquer A Better Strength

press sample

This gorgeous lilac with beautiful iridescent flakies is Bee's Knees Lacquer A Better Strength!  Another polish received at Indie Expo Canada 2018!  

Started with a base of two coats of Nails Inc. Regent Place, no top coat.

Applied a thin coat of Bee's Knees Lacquer A Better Strength over Nail's Inc. Regent Place.  Application was easy; there were no problems with the polish formula or the brush.  One coat provided this general topper coverage although it would easily built to opaque in 2 or 3 coats as it is jammed with iridescent flakies! The colour of the tinted lilac base and the unicorn flakies (not the name, I just made it up as it seems so right!) blend so well together and it results in a stunning combination with hints of pink and blue flashing on your nails!  Bees Knees Lacquer A Better Strength is part of the A Court of Thorns and Roses Collection that was recently released.

Not too many manis I wear go unstamped, so stamped Bee's Knees A Better Strength with an image from Nail Matinee NM 07 using MdU 60, then topped it with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  Again, wanting an image that allowed the beauty of the base to shine through with this tone on tone stamping.

This is my mani the next day out in the wild posing with flowers at the office!  Fantastic seeing the flakies shining through the stamped image!

Bee's Knees Lacquer A Better Strength and other polishes are available here.  Bee's Knees Lacquer is also available via Girly Bits here.

Picture Polish Mossy

Hope you are having a great week; sorry to have not posted all week but I had a busy week and then started a massive blog sale so most of my time has been devoted to it!

Here's a mani I did a few weeks ago and absolutely love using piCture pOlish Mossy!

Started with a base of two coats of piCture pOlish Mossy.  Man, I adore these piCture pOlishes that have this holographic flaky effect...such a nice added extra as the base yet they still come off as easy as a creme!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I've been trying to remember to stamp with a colour other than black or white so picked this mustard yellow looking stamping polish; MdU 46.  The image is from NailMatinee 07 and I used the clear stamper head from Girly Bits (and still messed up a finger!).  Added a couple dots using dotter for contrast interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking; enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Jade Holografico Delirio Rosa and NM07

As I sit and wait for some stamper decals to dry for some what I'm hoping to be really cool nails for Digit-al Dozen week while watching today's Olympic highlights, I thought I'd share this easy peasy, simple mani from a few weeks ago!



Started with a base of two coats of Jade Holografico Delirio Rosa, shown with no top coat.

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

Stamped using Funky Fingers Dark Knight using an image from Nail Matinee NM07 using a FAB clear stamper to help with image placement (and still not perfect!)

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

Different lighting; look at that holo!!!! 

Hope you're having a great week; thanks for looking!

Summer Bright Nails!

I know this mani is easy peasy but I love how simple stamping can be and there are a lot of days when easy peasy is just what I need with my hectic life!

Started with a base of two coats of Illamasqua Lament, no top coat.

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

For the easy peasy stamping, used an image from Nail Matinee NM 07 using FunkyFingers Gesso.  I love this image and have used it a couple times now but it kinda freaks me out as it looks so much like an eyeball! Might be cool for some Halloween/scary mani's though!

Digit-al Dozen Does Rainbows; Day 2

It's Day 2 of Digit-al Dozen rainbow week; I did rainbow skittles!

For the skittles, used all Jade Holografico polishes; Deja Vu, Hypnose, Oasis, Fascinio Violeta and Mirage; all are two coats except Hypnose and Fascinio Violeta, which are three.

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

Stamped using an image from Nail Matinee NM 07 using FunkyFingers Dark Knight.  This is one of my current fave images; I've used it a few times now.  It's one of those images that is interesting yet you see the beauty of the base through which I look for often when stamping.

Here's the other ladies Day 2 rainbow mani's!
