Oh Deer!

I did this mani last year but didn't get around to sharing it; I had probably put it on the backburner of sharing because of the polish smear but I decided to share it now anyway cause I still think it is kinda cool and someone might get some inspiration out of it!  Thankfully, I've been using Apipila Smudge Free Top Coat for a few months now so don't have that problem now.  I don't understand it either; I've been stamping for a while now and rarely do I have polish smear as I know to float the top coat but for some reason, I had a slew of mani's that it happened and I just got fed up with it so bought a bottle to try when Polish Pickup had it and then stocked up on a few more bottles as I found it at stocklists, including here at Girly Bits.  Game changer! I've also bought a few other brands but haven't tested them out yet but I'm sure I will at some point.

Started with a base of Painted Polish Luna (thumb), China Glaze Bohamian Escape (index), Zoya Sia (middle), Zoya Tommy (pinky and ring).   

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Moyra 102-The Last Days of Summer

Did a sponged gradient on ring finger using Zoya Sia and Zoya Tommy for some interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped images using MoYou Noel 9 (thumb and middle), Moyra 102 (pinky), and MoYou Noel 12 (index) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added few snowflakes on thumb and pinky using What's Up B035 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate for filler and interest. 

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Ohh, the smear.  Highly irritating.

Added a few holo glitter dots using Different Dimension Kiss Me Under the Light of a Thousand Stars.

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

 Thanks for looking!

Happy Winter to All!

Winter is upon us and we might as well embrace it!  I did this mani last year and don't know why I never shared it; as I was browsing pictures to decide on what to post, I came across this mani and thought, this is cool; why didn't I post it last year?  I can only hope that I had even more amazing mani's to post....but doubt it lol!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  SuperChic Lacquer Throwing Shade, CbL Gemini, Painted Polish Seeing Stars on Morgan Taylor Making Waves,  Savannah Lacquer Luigi Time on OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Painted Polish Grinch Green on OPI Envy the Adventure.  Some stun-ning polishes here; particularly loving the index, middle and pinky fingers!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Shadow stamped ring finger using Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 03 using MdU 3 and 39.

Added further images using Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 (index), B. Loves B10 Merry Christmas (thumb, middle and pinky) and What's Up B035 (small snowflakes on index) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and MdU 3 and 39.  Added a little loose glitter on index.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Happy Family Day!

It's Family Day here in Ontario; I did these nails with the thought of families sharing time together outdoors having some winter fun!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient of Color Club Factory Girl and Sinful Colors Show and Teal.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Applied stamper decals from What's Up Nails B035 (thumb), BM-XL484 (index), Sugar Bubbles SBS 02 (middle), Delaney Hiver A002 (ring) and Delaney Hiver A001 (pinky).  The ring finger was stamped with image from Lesly Winter Mood 2 before applying the stamper decal.  Words on thumb are from Nailsways Back to Basics ABC 123.

BM XL-484

What's Up Nails B035

Lesly Winter Mood 2

Added random snowflake images for filler and interest using Konad Square 29.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I didn't notice the stamping smear until I posted these; too bad but these nails took a long time and I guess I should have waited a bit longer before top coating. 

 
I was going for an old fashioned kind of look, so topped with Glisten  Glow matte to get that vintage look.

 
Reapplied top coat to finish.

Hope you are enjoying your long weekend if you have it off....or a great Monday for everyone else!

Thanks for looking!
