March Paint It Pretty Polish!

Are you a member of the Paint It Pretty Polish Facebook fan group?  If you aren't already, please go here for your opportunity to name and win the March Paint It Pretty Polish!  Sherri was good enough to send this beauty to me but it needs a name!  Go, Go, Go now for your chance to name and win it!  

March's Paint It Pretty Polish** is a blue to purple to magenta multichrome with crystal chameleon flakes in pink and aqua and red/gold /green.  Shown is three coats, no top coat.

This is with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

There were no application issues; the flakes all laid down flat even with no top coat.  Clean up was easy peasy and there were no issues with nail or skin staining.  There were no issues with removal which is always an added benefit!

I did some nail art with an image that you could still see the pretty flakes shine through.  Used MdU 16 with an image from Lina Twirls & Swirls 01.  Added a few dots for interest using MdU 69.

Flakes and matte go hand in hand; added a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect matte.

You didn't think I just did the thumb, did you? 

The March Paint It Pretty Polish will be available via the etsy store here from March 1-30th and will retail for $12!  

Please be sure to check out other swatches of this stunner in the Paint It Pretty Polish Fan group here as well as the Paint It Pretty Instagram account here!

Thank you again Sherri for entrusting me with swatching your pretties!  It is greatly appreciated!  

Thanks for looking!

Layering With Paint It Pretty Love Without Limits

The Paint It Pretty Polish Valentines Collection 2019 is available today here!  I've already shared swatches and Valentine's Day nail art in the last couple of posts and thought I'd share a layering look using Paint It Pretty Polish Love Without Limits!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of CND Vinylux Eternal Midnight.  (Two coats was good enough coverage for IRL but there were some baldy looking patches under the lights for the pix so added a third coat for good measure!)

Added a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte.

Added a coat of Paint It Pretty Polish Love Without Limits on a few fingers.  (In hindsight, don't ask me what I put matte polish on these fingers as I knew I was going to layer on top of them!  No need to have matted but I guess I wasn't thinking!)

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to the non matte nails.

Stamped using images from Sugar Bubbles SBS 10 using Funky Fingers Gesso.

Paint It Pretty Polish Love Without Limits and the rest of the Valentines Collection 2019** are available here now for $10 CAD each!

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Paint It Pretty Polish Valentines Collection 2019** is releasing tomorrow here!  I already shared the trio of polishes on my last post but of course I did some Valentines nail art using them as well!

Here's what I came up with!



On a base of two coats of Paint It Pretty Polish More Love, Less Paperwork, stamped using images from MdU San Valentin 4 with accent of BM-XL201 using Painted Polish Stamped in Rose and MdU 1.



MdU San Valentin 4.

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

Paint It Pretty Polish Grow Old With Me, was the base for this mani.  I made a couple stamper decals using Mezerdoo B3 using Funky Fingers Gesso as the stamped image, then filled in with Paint It Pretty Polish More Love, Less Paperwork and Painted Polish Stamped in Rose.  The pinky and middle are stamped using image from Konad m95; the thumb is MoYou Festive 20.

Paint It Pretty Polish Valentines Collection 2019

Paint It Pretty Polish is releasing a trio of Valentine's Day polishes on February 8th; they are oh so romantic looking and perfect colours for your Valentine's Day nails!  Not that they have to be used only for Valentine's; they are perfect for any time of the year!  These colours and finishes will never go out of style either; you'll be using them for years to come...that is til the bottle is finished anyway!

The trio of polishes in the Paint It Pretty Valentines Collection 2019** will be available here on February 8, 2019; they will retail for $10 each.  

First up is Paint It Pretty Polish More Love, Less Paperwork.  Shown is two coats, no top coat.

Paint It Pretty More Love, Less Paperwork is a magenta base with a tiny drop of violet sparks and holo.  

Topped with top coat.  There were no application issues; two coats gave good opaque coverage.  Easy removal and no nail staining.

The second of the three polishes is Paint It Pretty Polish Love Without Limits.  Shown with two coats, no top coat.



Love Without Limits is a light purplish pink with blue to pink shimmers.

There were no application or removal issues.  No nail staining was experienced.

While there was good coverage with two coats with Paint It Pretty Polish Love Without Limited, it was sheer enough to use for some layering and I'll be sharing more nails in an upcoming post so be sure to watch for it!



The final polish from the trio is Love Without Limits.  Shown is three coats, no top coat.  Two coats gave good coverage; however, if you've followed me for long, you know I'm not a fan of visible nail line and it can be exemplified with the lighting so added a third coat.



Paint It Pretty Polish Grow Old With Me is a light pink base with purple to red aurora shimmer with blue and aqua sparks and illusion gold flakies.



Topped with top coat.



For more pictures of these polishes, please check out the Paint It Pretty Polish instagram account here!

I used all of these polishes for some Valentine's Day nail art but as they don't have to be used just for Valentine's Day, I've also done some layering using Paint It Pretty Polish Grow Old With Me and Love Without Limits; I'll be sharing them in the upcoming days.

Thank you again to Sherri for giving me the opportunity to swatch these polishes!  It is greatly appreciated!

Funky Reindeer

Are you ready for Christmas?  I can officially say that I'm done!  Everything is bought, wrapped and under the tree, or packed for family get-togethers over the holiday season.  Even the stockings are filled for the arrival of Santa Christmas morning!  Mrs. Claus was certainly efficient this year lol!

I have these seasonal nails in non seasonal colours to share today.  This was my 'I should be wearing seasonal nails' when I didn't really feel like wearing seasonal nails mani.  But I do love how it turned out; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of H & M Nail Polish Misty Plum.

Topped it with a coat of Paint It Pretty Polish Baby It's Cold Outside.

Bottle shot of Paint It Pretty Polish Baby It's Cold Outside.  Mannnnnnnnnnnn.  Gorgeous.

Stamped with images from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 with reindeer accents from Ejiubus EJB-03 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Well, I thought I was finished.  Added dots using MdU 16 for interest.

Topped with KBShimmer to finish.

Hopefully you have been enjoying your weekend.

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 3

I've had a hectic week and yesterday's dumping of snow didn't help it at all so I'm behind in getting my Digit-al Dozen posts up.  With the time change last weekend and with it now being dark at 5ish pm, I've been seeing a lot of stars at night now especially given that I leave work at 8 or 9 pm most nights lately which is what I came up with on day 3 of our look up challenge!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Pinta.

Added a coat of Etheral Lacquer Moonlit Machete from September 2018 Polish Pickup.

This low lighting pix shows flakies a bit better.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sponged Zoya Julie and Paint It Pretty Polish Indigo Rises.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. A couple of the nails weren't very happy with all the coats of polish in such a short time and kinda wrinkled but as I was doing these nails one morning before work, I didn't have time for them to settle down.  But they did once dry.

Stamped using images from BundleMonster BM-XL213 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Low lighting pix shows some of those flakies a little better....the ones I didn't sponge over anyway lol.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish. 

Low light again.

Here's the other ladies day 3 mani's!
