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

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

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!

Thanks for looking!

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.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Purple Double Stamp Floral

I love these eye catching nails on one of my favourite go to bases!  And the best part is they are easy as pie!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimensions Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This was one of those nights that I didn't have much time to do my nails but still wanted to change them so was going with simple mani of purple stamped floral on the holo base (my go to pretty much when I can't quickly decide to wear on my nails.  Pretty neutral to me!).  So pulled a few different purples.  On my test (right) hand, I had stamped using Mdu 101 which was the light lilac shade but it was too light of a shade for the image to show well.  So then I stamped with MdU 14 which  was the navy and it was good.  So when I stamped on top of the MdU 14 on the test nail, I'm like-this is amazing!  Nice light and dark contrast and you can still see all the sparkle and holo goodness from the base through.  These were my colours!

Stamped using MdU 101 using image from MoYou Flower Power 20.

Then stamped again using same image using MdU 14.  I didn't shadow stamp, just randomly restamped the image however it laid on the nail because it didn't really matter as the base stamping was just another coloured background for interest and I still wanted the base polish to shine through.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This is everything I love about stamping; quick and easy, interesting image, colourful and still see base polish shine through!

May The 4th Be With You!

May the 4th be with you!  I wasn't sure I'd get these nails done today; I woke up late and then spent most of the day doing household chores and just had a chance to do these around 3 pm today.  But at least they will get posted today!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Colors by Llarowe Burnout, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sponged on galaxy nails using LAGirls Disco Brites Hustle, Groovy, Platforms and FunkyFinger Gesso.

Butterflies!

Just like I've been obsessed with floral nails lately, I went through a butterfly stage back in the fall.  A few other mani's will show up eventually but I really liked how these turned out!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Color Club It's Going to be Major, no top coat.  Love this shade!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using FunkyFingers Gesso using image from SugarBubbles SB 040.

Double stamped using image from Kelly Negri KN7 using EdK Tuco.

After doing some brush work filling in a few spots, stamped accent with Marianne Nails n.104 using same EdK Tuco, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

You know me and my love for busy nails so decided to triple stamp more little butterflies here and there using Marianne Nails n.104 using FunkyFingers Gesso.  Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Digit-al Dozen Does Albums; Day 5

I'm late sharing my day 5 mani for Digit-al Dozen album challenge as I didn't have the post ready in advance and was with family on Good Friday.  Then posted Easter nails over the weekend to coincide with Easter!.  Better late then never as the saying goes; this is my day 5 Digit-al Dozen mani!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from FUN 3 using Painted Polish Stamped in Clay.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from MdU Music 1 using Konad red stamping polish.

This is the album cover the mani is based upon.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I thought this was the end of the mani and then I remembered some other cool images I had pulled for the challenge as I had planned on doing a mani using record albums but too many other album ideas.  So I looked at the images and thought they will work over this base, so added a few of them!  Added images from Moyra 119 (middle and pinky), and MoYou Rockstar 11 (index and ring) using MdU 1.
