St. Patrick's Day Nails!

I have a few St. Patrick's Day nails to share; I planned on sharing all next week but just realized it will interfere with Digit-al Dozen week and the likelihood I'll share two mani's every day all week is slim to nil so I thought I had better get to sharing them if I'm going to!  This is my favourite of the bunch so they are all going to be downhill from here!  Just joking; the rest aren't that bad, it's just this happens to be my favourite! Here's what I came up with!

A couple weeks ago in preparation of doing St. Patrick's Day nails, I pulled a bunch of greens from my stash.  Then I pulled a few of them for a smooshy mani.

This is what became of my smooshy from the polishes above.  I was trying for mainly lighter greens with just a smidgen of dark for contrast.  I'm still learning this method; while it is easy peasy to do, I have a tendency to use way too much polish on the stamper so need to gear it down a bit for future attempts.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using FunkyFingers Dark Knight using an image from KN 12. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I had made stamper decals using images from Messy Mansion MM04 (hat and pot of gold) and Wistonia W105 (mug). 

Applied stamper decals in centre, then stamped on images from Bunny Nails HD-B (index) and MM04 (ring).  Unfortunately, the black solid didn't show up as well as I would have liked; maybe if I do this design again, I'll do dark or light green. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I did a coat of OPI matte in case it showed up the designs a little better with a little less glare!

Digit-al Dozen Does Texture; Day 4

I'm a day late getting this post up...the stat holiday today just means cramming the same amount of weekly work into 4 days versus doing it in 5....just longer hours all week for me....by the time I got home yesterday, I was just too tired to do the post!  Sometimes, it seems hardly worth taking the day off.....then, today, I woke up not feeling the best.....anywayyyy, enough excuses lol..... we are still on texture week for Digit-al Dozen; here's the mani I came up with for Day 4!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all fingers except accent, which is L'Oreal The Palace Life, topped with SV.  

Stamped using MoYou Festive-14 (pinky), W212 (thumb), W105 (index) and MoYou Festive-09 (middle and ring).  Stamping polishes are white Konad, black, bubble blue and avocado FUN, Mundo de Unas 15 and 16.

W212

Using assortment of jelly polishes (L'Oreal Miss Pixie, L'Oreal Mango Mamma, OPI I'm Never Amberrassed, and OPI Don't Violet Me Down), coloured eggs on index finger.

Added dots using texture polishes; Sinful Ruby Mine, Nicole by OPI Lilac Gumdrops, Nicole by OPI Candy is Dandy and Kiko 643.

I was really trying to leave big dollops of the texture polish to get a raised look...here's a close up to show how much!

Decided to outline the eggs on the index using Sinful Ruby Mine.  

Added flocking powder on index, middle and ring fingers.  

Added a few more dots on middle to finish.  Left like this; no topcoat on any nails.

Here's the other ladies Day 4 mani's!
