Fall Abstract

These are a little out of my comfort zone and although it isn't a style I wear often, I don't mind them.  Not my favourite, but I've done worse.  

Started with a base of three coats of Wildflower Lacquer Drink Like A Fish, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Lina Make Your Mark 01 using MdU 48, 106 and 107 on all nails for fall colours, then added images on top using Lesly Golden Autumn (middle, thumb and pinky), and Maniology M022 (ring and index) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief. I think in hindsight, I should have did leaves like on the middle and thumb, but hey, there's always next time.  Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Natural light.

Added a coat of matte for a different look and I think this was my favourite.

The good thing about doing something that isn't your style is that with a bit of remover and cotton rounds, you can remove it and start afresh.  

Thanks for looking!

Round and Round

It's #MusicManiMonday and here's another circle mani.  Circles are round; the tribute song is Round and Round by Ratt.  I can remember this song playing on Good Rockin' Tonite when which was hosted by Terry David Mulligan back in the day.  I watched it faithfully every Friday night for a lot of years.  I'm sure this ages me but such is life; it happened lol. 

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Music is My Muse.  Such a nice colour but not a great formula.  

Had to topcoat is to cover the patches, so topped with Fancy Gloss Let's Be Friends (PPU April 2021). 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Sugar Bubbles SB 021

Stamped with image from Sugar Bubbles SB 021 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Decided to add matte top coat.  Those flakies POP!

Sunlight outside and the flakies be popping still!

The Chains!

Raise your hand if you have an Amazon playlist? ✋ I don't know how popular they are but I know for me, I really appreciate having it because there is nothing better than having all your favourite songs in one place, that you can play on repeat!  Love it!  It's on frequent play when I'm doing my nails.  And do you know what my number 1 spot song is?   Drumrolllll:  The Chains by Fleetwood Mac.  Love it!  So these nails for #MusicManiMonday are inspired by my #1 spot song on my playlist.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Maren, no top coat.

While stun-ning, one of my favourite things to do is layer polishes, so added a coat of Glam Polish Part of Your World, no top coat.  Stun-ning-er lol!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Infinity 157 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Topped with another coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

The next day, added a coat of Essie Matte About You to show off the flakies.

Outdoor, overcast skies makes flakies POP, so here are a couple pix outside to show them off!

Canada Day Inspiration

These were nails that I did in 2023 a couple days before Canada Day and thought they might be inspiration for some Canada Day nail art.

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

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using images from CjS-257 using MdU 9, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

I'm not sure as I can't remember, but it looks like I had some issues stamping and looks like I double stamped these images as I can see some line up issues.  Although it kind of looks like a shadow so cool!

Decided to top with Essie Matte About You and liked this version better.

CjS-257

These nails are doing double duty; it's #MusicManiMonday with the I AM CANADIAN by DAM Canada (IYKYK; great commercial!)

Sweater Weather!

It be chilly outside the last few days and there is nothing better to fend off the chill than a sweater.  I have to admit, I maybe did go overboard doing sweater and snowflake nails so there may be a lot of them between now and spring!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of What Addition? The Final Fall (Little Box of Horrors February 2025), no top coat.

Topped with Mooncat Trannasourus Hex for a little bit brighter pop of green and interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

MdU AZ Winter 3.

 

For a change, I topped with Essie Matte About You, which I preferred actually.

Then topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
