Birthday Nails!

I had a birthday not too long ago (OK...it was yesterday!) so these were the nails I was sporting for the weekend!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient of Fancy Gloss Neon Yellow Sunshine Pop and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  (I did post it was neon yellow but just checked my notes and its not.  Sorry.)

Applied KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After making stamper decals with images from MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 and 02 using Fancy Gloss Neon Orange, Neon Yellow, Neon Green, Imperial and Azure.  The thumb and pinky are double stamped; first with a few of the Fancy Gloss Neons using HB 01 and then, the thumb is double stamped the thumb using an image from BundleMonster BM-H19, the word to is from MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 and me is from UC Love and Marriage 01.  The pinky has another decal from the index finger that didn't fit!  I also added random stars, dots, etc. for filler in various images from these same plates.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes on my various social media accounts as I did post these on FB and IG yesterday but didn't have time to do a blog post!  Hopefully you get some ideas from this mani when it's your birthday!!

Digit-al Dozen Does Patterns; Day 2

It's day 2 of Digit-al Dozen pattern week and I did these pattern on pattern nails which are a little different but I try to think outside of the box sometimes for challenges and holidays and this is one of those times!  Yes, the dots are a pattern and so is the water marble design!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Ruby Kisses Barbie Purple, no top coat.  Perfectly named lol!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped image from Moyra 103 Birds Always Sing using Painted Polish Stamped in Rose, Stamped in Taro and Thirty and Flirty.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Unfortunately, the gradient stamping wasn't giving me the punch I wanted for my nails, so decided to double stamp using an image from Kelly Negri KN 17 using Painted Polish Deux 2.0.  This is more my style!

Digit-al Dozen Does Christmas in July; Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week and our theme this week is Christmas in July!  I have to forewarn you, my nails this month are more winter in July than Christmas but it's winter in my neck of the woods at Christmas time so it still counts...right??!  Well, I'm going with it!  Here's what I came up with for my day 1 mani!

Started with a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Pink Dreams, no top coat.  One coat provides good coverage but I did a second pretty much out of habit!  And please excuse the little fibers; I did these nails in between doing laundry and didn't notice them while doing my nails!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped image from Creative Shop 153 at the tips of a few nails using FunkyFingers Gesso, then stamped using the layering images from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02, first using Fancy Gloss Imperial.  This is another one coater that stamps well!  The only issue is that it dries veryyyyy fast so stamp quickly!

Creative Shop 153

Stamped the second layering image from same plate using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Then the last layering image using Fancy Gloss Neon Pink.

Stamped accent nails using another image from the same Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 plate again using Fancy Gloss Imperial as well as stamped the snow flakes again using Creative Shop 153 using the same polish.

Added a few random dots on accent fingers using FunkyFingers Gesso and on all nails using Fancy Gloss Neon Pink to colour coordinate all the nails!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Here's the rest of the ladies day 1 mani's!

Orange and Peach Circles

I don't usually do these type of abstract kind of nails but I did like how this turn out!  Too bad my pictures seem really dark but hopefully you can see how they look anyway!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of China Glaze More To Explore with accent of OPI Tempura-ture Is Rising.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from MoYou Holy Shapes 08 using Hit the Bottle A Flock of Seagulls with accednt of MdU 31.

Double stamped using image from MoYou London Holy Shapes 12 using MdU 108 with accent of Hit the Bottle A Flock of Seagulls.

MoYou Holy Shapes Collection-12

I love when I can get a pretty good match with a stamping polish and a regular polish to create a matchy-matchy look and think everything matched pretty good in this one!

Green Floral and Stripes

Sometimes I surprise myself when a mani is finished; I start with one thing in mind and it ends up totally different!  This is one of those; this really isn't my 'style' of nails but I loved how it turned out when it was all done.  In fact, I've done a few spins on this mani since (some shared already, some not) but this was the one that started it.  It's obviously my style now lol!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Turtle Tootsies Turn Off The Lights!, no top coat.  I picked this up last year at 2018 Indie Expo Canada in Toronto.  2019 IEC will be held on August 18th with workshops taking place on August 17th.  Do you plan on attending?  

Topped with a thin layer of Fiendish Fancies Princess Without A Voice.  This was a press sample that I received at 2018 Indie Expo Canada; I liked it so much that I bought a full size bottle!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped stripes using Lina Born To Sail 01 using EdK Lili and flowers using Lina Feeling Shapely! 08 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Added dots to flower centers using EdK Lili.

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

While I liked the look of the nails, I decided to add more flowers to the striped nails; used same image from Lina Feeling Shapely! 08 using FunkyFingers Gesso, then stamped using EdK Lili.  Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Digit-al Dozen Does Colours; Day 2

I discovered that most of the mani's I was going to share this week were bright colours with negative space stamping.  Which is OK but might be a tad boring for sharing so I thought I had better mix up the colours a bit!  Here's my day 2 colour mani for Digit-al Dozen week!

Started with a base of two coats of Pretty & Polished No One Fights Alone, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Feeling Shapely! 01 using MdU 91.

Stamped the rest of the nails using MdU 1 using image from CICI & SISI-Spring 04.

I isolated the floral images from the same image on the CICI & SISI plate and stamped it on the lines.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Dotted the center of the flowers using MdU 66 and 91 for some added colour and interest.
