Neon Floral Nails

Some days you just feel like a little neon on your nails and that's what I sat down to do one time not too long ago.  Here's what I came up with!  

Did a stamper smooshy base using Color Club Totally Worth It, Mrs. Robinson, Almost Famous, All That Razz and FunkyFingers Gesso.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with Creative Shop 183 Basic using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  I really like these images that are on the smaller size for my smaller size nails.

The next day, I thought the they would like them with a matte topcoat so used one from Glisten & Glow, but I prefer the shiny version in this case for sure.  But you never know until you try, as the saying goes!

Take Me To The Beach!

I pulled a bunch of summer themed plates and have been doing a lot of beach inspired mani's including this one.  Hopefully I don't get into a theme trap like I have been doing lately with a whole bunch of leaves in the fall, snowflakes in the winter, daisies in the spring...but I guess we'll see!  But just in case, be prepared to see lots of beach mani's like this one; here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Pahlish Cascades, China Glaze Capacity to See Beyond, Essie Style Cartel, Essie Viva Antigua! and FunkyFingers Gesso.

 Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from UberChic UC Beach Plates (thumb and middle), What's Up Nails A019 (index), SugarBubbles SB 051 (pinky) and CreativeShop 84 (ring) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

 

What's Up Nails A019.

Shadow stamped with Painted Polish Deux 2.0 using same images.  Stamped some a little too tight, some a little too loose; one of these days I'll get it right!

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hope you're having a fantastic week and thanks for looking!

Hot Pink Owls!

I was sorting through my image plates and came across these super cute owls and thought, they need to go on my nails stat!  So I set the plate aside to use for one of those days when I don't have time to sort through plates to find an image and that was not too long ago.  So here are those super cute owls on my nails now!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of Color Club polishes Warhol, Modern Pink, Beach, Please! and All that Razz, no top coat.  One of my polishes apparently has a little DYI fluid it it, as you might notice on the thumb and middle finger! 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using FUN 25 (pinky and index) and FUN 26 on the rest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

I thought the hearts on the owl image were a little too cutesy so decided to do a few dots in different sizes.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Brights!

I did these nails a few days ago as I needed a little pick me up and something to brighten my day!  I hope you are doing OK and if not, they will brighten your day too!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of Color Club Youthquake, Tropical State of Mind and One Love.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped with an image from MoYou London Flower Power-14 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

St. Patrick's Day Nails!

I've seen lots of green mani's this month and I thought it was time to share some of the St. Patrick's Day mani's that I've done including this one!  Here's what I came up with!

This mani is inspired by one of my hand towels that I put out; if only I could water marble but I can't (at least not well!) so decided to do a stamper smooshy!

For the stamper smooshy, used OPI Envy the Adventure, China Glaze Grass is Lime Greener, Trip of a Lime Time and Gaga for Green.  Accent nail is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from UberChic UC mini:  St. Patricks Day using MdU 37 (ring) and Bunny Nails HD-B on the rest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Bright Floral Nails!

I did these nails for a Digit-al Dozen challenge but unfortunately, didn't share them.  I thought they might be OK to share now as we are having some unseasonably warm weather over the next few days with the hopes that spring is right around the corner!  I know this probably won't happen but one can dream, right?  Anyway, here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of Fancy Gloss polishes in Striking Blue, Neon Yellow, Neon Green and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Apipila Super Placa I using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I just got to looking at these nails and they kinda make me dizzy.  Hopefully you find them OK!

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Last of the VDay Mani's!

This is the last of the VDay mani's and I'm sharing it after the fact as its one of those mani's you can wear any time of the year!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Color Club polishes in Flamingo, Totally Worth It and Warhol.  I love  using Color Club polishes for smooshy bases lately; the colours are so  opaque, vibrant and bold.  I've also used them for quite a few sponge gradients as well for the same reason.  And the best part was the price; I picked up packs and packs of them when they were for sale for $9.99 at Winners in the fall.  Seven polishes in a pack! Score!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hit the Bottle To Love or Not to Love-01.  This plate was offered in January 2020 PPU (but I've seen it for sale on a few different sites as well if you missed it) and it came in the mail maybeee 3 or so days before Valentine's.  I knew I already had enough VDay mani's to share, in fact, knew I wouldn't get them all shared before the day, but was anxious to use this one image so did a VDayish mani but again could use any time.

Stamped using Hit the Bottle To Love or Not to Love-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hope you're having a fantastic weekend; thanks for looking!

Another Valentine's Day Mani!

As I had mentioned in a prior post, I've done a lot of Valentine nails, just haven't had a chance to share them all.  I'm hopefully going to share a few in the next few days and who knows when the rest will be shared!  I think this was my favourite of the ones I did this year so for sure wanted to get it shared!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a smooshy stamper base of Color Club Island Vibes, Peace Out Purple, Mrs. Robinson and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from MdU Valentin 4 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Looking at this mani, I probably could have posted it any time of the year as hearts are generic enough I suppose!  But hopefully someone will appreciate them for Valentine's Day anyway!

Still Sharing Christmas Mani's!

Today is a relaxing day just lounging around the house, eating leftover turkey sandwiches and watching movies most of the day!  I thought I'd share the nails that I was wearing on Christmas day and still wearing today...they might even be my favourite of the season this year although those cute reindeer nails that I shared yesterday are hard to beat! Here's what I came up with!

I wish I could water marble; in my mind, I had a wonderful green, red and white water marble in my head that I wanted as the base.  But I have no water marble skills, so did the next best thing; stamper smooshy base.  It turned out like a hot mess and was a PITA to clean up even though I used latex but even though it is kinda the ugliest smooshy base you ever did see, it was a great base in hindsight for the stamping!  This is OPI Envy the Adventure, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Color Club Catwalk.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from What's Up Nails B003 (index, thumb and pinky), Messy Mansion MM30 (middle) and Lina Can't Wait for Xmas! 02 (ring) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.   I have to say, I love the ring finger; I thought it would be a cool mani if all nails were stamped with it but there's always next year!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
