Floral Stripes

It's been a hot minute since I posted last.  Sorry, but sometimes life and work get busy and blogging suffers.  But I have a free evening and I hope to draft a few posts including this one!

UberChic 29-02.

Started with a base of two coats of Olive Ave Polish Skylight, no top coat.

Topped accent nails with Polished for Days Esperance.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines with image from Lina Feeling Shapely! 01 using MdU 80 and flowers from UberChic 29-02 using MdU 80 and 15.  

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

As if these weren't busy enough, I decided to add a few dots for some interest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

 Which version do you like best?  I think I prefer with the dots.  More whimsical!

Thanks for looking!

Snowflakes

We're bracing for all the snow that is in the forecast on Sunday; in the meanwhile, we're in a deep freeze.  I know it's winter in Canada, but I don't like what Mother Nature is doing to us!

Started with a base of Polished for Days Goulish (PPU April 2025) over a coat of Morgan Taylor Powers of Persassion.

Topped with KShimmer Clearly on Top.  These nails just glow!

Did some simple stamping to let the beauty of the base polish shine using image from Creative Shop 112 and CjS 238-S, Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Painted Polish Stamper in Periwinkle and Moyra SP18 for stamping polishes.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Thanks for looking and please be safe if you are in the area that is getting the extreme cold and all that snow!

Tribute to Ace Frehley

We lost another rock legend a couple weeks ago with the passing of Ace Frehley, original member of KISS, after a fall at home.  I did these nails as a tribute for Mani Music Monday and for the song, I Was Make for Lovin' You by Kiss released back in May 1979, which was when Ace was part of the band.  Here's what I came up with! 

Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and OPI Black Onxy, no top coat.

The black nails were layered with Polished for Days Interstellar and the white had Painted Polish 2019 added.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I wanted a little bit more pizzazz on the accent nails, so added a coat of Tins The Snow Love, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped stars using Classic Beauty BM-XL356 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then aces from Delaney Casino 001 (after increasing the size), and stamped ring with Apipila L18 (after increasing size and removing outline) and then MdU An Enanto 02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

MdU VZ L07

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Maniology MXM081

I have a confession.  The plan was that I was going to stamp the spaceman image from Maniology MXM081 on the thumb as Ace was known as the Spaceman in the group.  But  messed up and stamped the stars on all nails, but added it to Ms. Cindy after shrinking it; here's what it looks like.   This base polish is Glisten & Glow Comet.

 I'm glad I added the stars as I like the look more and still on theme with stars in space!  

Thanks for looking and RIP, Ace.  

Booooo!

So many Halloween nails to share in a week as I was behind in sharing!  I did last year and wasn't able to share them but am now; here's what I came up with!

Stamped plaid with Creative Shop 182 Basic using MdU 91.
