Go! Canada! Go!

Today is the opening ceremonies for the 2016 Olympics so I did a mani in support of the Canadian athletes! Go, Canada!


Started with a base of two coats each of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Duri Taming of the Shrew then topped with a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.



Stamped using images from my custom plate; Canadian Nail Fanatic 001 and 002 with Fig Tree Stamps using red and white Konad stamping polishes; touched up as needed.



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



Good luck to all the Olympic participants!

Thanks for looking!

Olympic Nails!

I've had the plates set aside to do an Olympic mani since the beginning of February but here it is, the games are almost over before I finally got around to doing a mani as I just did these Thursday night.  Here's what I came up with.


Started off with a base of skittles in the Olympic colours; Essie Avenue Maintain, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, Sally Hansen Black Out, Orly Raging Vine and Duri Taming of the Shrew, all two coats except the Essie which is one.  Topped with SV.


Stamped using assortment of images from following plates; MJ XI (snowboarder on thumb), MJ XVIII (hockey skates on thumbs), WB08-04 (figure skater on thumb), SdP 101 (speed skater on thumb), MJ XXIV test (images on ring finger), MoYou N10 (rings on index), MM13 (buildings on index), W219 (pinky)and MJ VII (flame on middle).  Polishes used were black Konad special polish and assortment of Mundo de Unas polishes.


The flames on the Olympic torch weren't as bright as I hoped, so hand stripped in some flames.  Added a few dots on the thumb in the same colours.

Messy Mansion MM13

MJ XXIV Test plate





Nail Art Diva WB08-04

SdP 101

Topped with SV to finish.


I'm hoping to do a couple more Olympic mani's before the games end including a "GO Team Canada" for the men's hockey game in the morning!
