You're Outta This World, Valentine!

This mani might date me but these are the type of corny Valentine's we exchanged back in the day at school! That would be a long time ago lol!  I recycled my galaxy nails and turned it into another non-typical Valentine's Day mani!

To see the details of the galaxy base, please go to my post here.  Stamped words using Nailways Back to Basics 123 ABC using FunkyFingers Gesso.  Yes, every. single. letter. stamped. individually!

Added images from BundleMonster BM-XL213.

BM XL-213

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I thought it might look better matte so added a coat of OPI matte....but in all honestly, not sure if I like the matte or shiny version better lol!

Hopefully you didn't mind these because I might have more corny Valentine's Day mani's coming this way!

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does 4; Day 2

Here's my day 2 mani for Digit-al Dozen does 4.....the FAB 4!

Started with a base of two coats of piCture pOlish Beige.

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

I had come up with what I hoped to be a cool looking base on the drive home from work; it started with an alcohol spray base of CND Gold Chrome; here is it getting read for the spray!

Sprayed with alcohol.

Then dipped in my fingers!  I did two at a time to speed up the process which helped!

My thumb is by far my favourite nail!  

After cleanup; this took forever as gold shimmer everywhereeeeeeeeeeeee!  But I did try to get as much off as possible!

Stamped with an image from Apipila P.06 using CND Silver Chrome.

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

Using FunkyFingers Dark Knight, stamped images from Chez Delaney Musique 001.  (This was another time when the jelly stamper would not pick up so tried for placement as good as possible with regular stamper  I didn't do the thumb too good and had a big empty spot at the cuticle so put the words.)  There was also some voids left in a few spots in the hair so did brush touch up as needed. Added "The Beatles" from ZZ Arts 1 on the thumb, then FAB from FUN 12 (or pick any of the FUN plates bahahahaha!) and lastly stamped 4 using Nailways Back to Basics ABC 124.

Added a few notes from same Chez Delaney Musique 001 for filler here and there and topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

I thought that the cool base (to me, anyway!) would show up better if the mani was matte; used Girly Bits Polish Matte'rs.  I can't decide if my fave look is with top coat or not!!!  I am also mildly obsessed with the little bit of gold that peeks through the mustache on the thumb too; it is kinda cool to me lol!

Here's the other ladies Day 2 mani's related to 4!

Happy Birthday Nails!

What I've been wearing today!  I've had such a hectic day, its the last hour of the day until my birthday is over but hopefully this post will be up before the day is over! 

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls then top coated with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

Did a saran wrap smoosh for accents using American Apparel Lazuli, Crescent Heights and American Denim.

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

I made a few stamper decals using MoYou Happy Birthday Collection-02, filling in with acrylic paints.

MoYou Happy Birthday Collection-02

Applied four of the decals.

Then stamped the thumb with the confetti from MoYou Christmas Collection-05 using MdU polishes in what I hoped was close to the acrylics that I used for the stamper decals.

MoYou Christmas Collection-05

Stamped in Happy Birthday on the thumb using an image from MoYou Happy Birthday-01 after shrinking the image.  But I had to do it sideways to get Birthday to fit as my nails aren't wide enough for the image even when shrunk.  Had I realized I was going to do have to stamp sideways, I would have placed the words separately to at least even out the words and not cut out half of the H.  Added 'me' using Nailways Back to Basics 123 ABC.

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

It was looking a little bare so added a few random dots for filler and to make it more me!

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes via texts, messages, FB posts and IG comments!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Animals

It's 40 Great Nail Art Ideas challenge; this weeks theme is animals.  I thought for today's mani, I would do a tribute mani to our family fur baby, Spike.  Although its been two weeks now since he has no longer been with us, we still expect to see him greeting us at the door when we get home, watch for him to be sitting at the patio door to be let out, check the area where his water and food bowl was kept to see if he needs any. I guess this will pass in time, but all this is still fresh in our minds and we still look for him and think we hear his bark every now and then. 

R.I. P. Spike

Started with a base of two coats of Lippman Run, Run Rudolph, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and one coat of Funky Fingers Dark Knight.  Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

Stamped using images from Uber Chic Furry Best Friends using Funky Fingers Gesso, Funky Fingers Dark Knight and Konad red special polish.  The letters are from Nailways Back to Basics 123 ABC using original clear jelly stamper (which is only stamper I could get to pick up images for the letters as well as placing images on the thumb).
