Fiendish Fancies Princess Without Voice

press sample

I cannot tell you how much I adore this polish, Fiendish Fancies Princess Without Voice!  I'm into layering (well, I try to do it as much as possible; when I think of it) so I thought I would try it layered as well as on it's own and it looks fantastic both ways!  

As we are in the height of summer, I really wanted some bright nails but also wanted to use a colour that would go well with Fiendish Fancies Princess Without Voice all on its own, so I have shown it both ways here and incorporated into a fun summer mani!  

For the fun summer nails, I started with a base of two coats of Polish 'M Forget The Rest with accent of three coats of Fiendish Fancies Princess Without Voice.

I then did one light coat of Fiendish Fancies Princess Without Voice as a topper on all nails but the accent.  I love how this looks and while you'll have to take my word for it, I also layered it over Girly Bits Butternut Leave Me, It's Near Leaf All and Another Brick In The Fall and it looked crazy gorgeous on all of them~ I love it and one thin coat just creates a whole other look (the beauty of layering!)!  I'm sure one or more of these combinations will show up this fall! 

Princess Without a Voice is part of the Fiendish Fancies’ Beautiful Creature collection and is an olive frost with bronze, teal and rose shimmer; as you can see here, it builds up nicely to being opaque, but has the versatility of being used as a topper with the highlight being that bronze shimmer.  There were no polish application issues or issues with the brush.  It was easy to remove as well.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Lesly LS 32 using Dark Knight, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I really liked how this looked but it's summer and wanted something more summer like.  Plus you know me, busy nails are right up my alley!  So stamped using image from Lina Feeling Shapely! 08 using FunkyFingers Gesso.  I especially loved how the white popped against the olive in Princess Without Voice; it is my favourite nail!  I was also super happy that the featured polish is still visible even with double stamping!

Top coated again with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Unfortunately, the pigments from the Polish 'M changed the stamping colour to a light green tinge; its pretty obvious here but not so much in real life.  

I then dotted the flowers and topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does White; Day 2

I'm sharing these super cute nails for day 2 of Digit-al Dozen white challenge!

Started with a base of two coats of Polish 'M Hello, Monday!, no top coat.  This is one of my favourite polishes; I'm so glad I was able to pick it up in a blog sale!  I keep on going to pick up it to wear time and time again and I have to say to myself, use another polish, one of the 274758604568678690 untrieds you have lol!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using FunkyFingers Gesso using an image from Creative Shop 83.  This is one of those great images that is interesting, yet has a great void to allow the base polish shine through!

Unfortunately, the polish pigment in the Polish M turned the stamping polish a page green.  It wasn't as obvious in real life but I did like the white stamping a lot better!

Here;s the other ladies day 2 mani's!

Summer Hibiscus Nails!

Raise your hand if you're tired of me talking about what fabulous weather we've having for the last few weeks!!!  No worries if you are, but in case you care, it's still here!  I didn't do these nails in the last few weeks (when we've been having fabulous weather) but rather, did them the night after receiving my very first ever Polish Pickup order!  I ordered from the July 2017 theme of Cocktails & Mocktails even though the monthly themes have been available since April 2017 (unfortunately, they weren't on my radar until August for some reason!).  The assortment of polishes to chose from is phenomenal and what is really great about them is you don't have to take them all like other boxes.....gone are the days, when you bought an entire 'box' even thought you may have only wanted 1 or 2 polishes.  And the other great thing???  $3 shipping to Canada.  That's right, no typo there....a cool $3 flat fee shipping for us Canucks...that seriously is a great shipping rate and a great incentive for me to place an order no matter how large or small!  That same low shipping rate also applies to shipping in US and according to the website, international shipping is available at cost.   I can honestly say I'm patiently waiting for my August order to arrive....and plotting my September order; based on the inspiration pix and some photo's are just starting to be shared now!

While there were some fantastic polishes received from my order, the one that caught my eye immediately was Polish M Ripped in Rio De Janeiro and I decided to use it right away; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats each of China Glaze I Just Cant-alope with accents of Polish M Ripped In Rio De Janeiro.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from MoYou Trend Hunter Collection 11 (pinky and index) and MoYou Flower Power Collection 22 (the rest).  I had planned on doing the same hibiscus flowers on all nails until I seen it wasn't going to fit well on the pinky, but think the lines were a nice contrast!  And love that you could still see the base peeking through the lines!

 MoYou Flower Power Collection-22

 

 MoYou Trend Hunter Collection-11

 Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Decided to add a couple studs that I had painted with the Polish M on the pinky and index.  I love that I can paint studs to annnnnyyyyyyyy colour I want for accenting!

 Finished it off with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Digit-al Dozen Does Rainbows; Day 5

Here I am again super late for Day 5 Digit-al Dozen rainbow challenge so sorry about that; this mani is also doing double duty for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas does summer challenge!  Here's what I came up with!

Started by making a couple stamper decals using an image from Infinity 34 and acrylic paints.  I made two because wasn't sure which one would turn out better on the nail but glad that I did as I ended up cutting them and using them both because the images were too large for one nail.

Did a coat of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on three fingers then attempted some water marbling using Pipe Dream Polish High Roller, All In, 110 Degrees, Light of Day and Peace Out.

I had planned on using a full stamper decal on the thumb but when the image was too big, decided to cut it down and used half on the thumb and then the other half along with some of the clouds on the middle.  So had to add base polishes to both these nails; the middle is again OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and the thumb is Polish M A Quiet Mind.  

Used both stamper decals.

Stamped index finger using MoYou 408 and MoYou Tourist Collection-17 on ring and pinky.  The birds on the thumb are also from MoYou Tourist 17.  Stamping polish is FunkyFingers Dark Knight.

MoYou Tourist Collection-17

MoYou 408

Added a few more birds to middle and pinky using MoYou Tourist 17.

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

Here's the other ladies Day 5 rainbow manis!
