FIFA 2026

The 2026 World Cup of soccer started last week, with the opening ceremonies taking place in Los Angeles and Toronto, which is also a host city for matches.  So I decided to do FIFA 2026 nails for the occasion!

Started with base polishes of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls with accent nails of Orly Double Diamond on Cupcake White Pop. Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Stamped using images from MoYou London What The Plate Collection-04 (pinky, middle and player on thumb and shrunken on index) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Stamped goal with image from MdU AZ Sports 3 Soccer 1 and words on ring using Maniology m306, again with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Added image from CjS-91 above words on the ring, after double stamping it to reverse the image.

Maniology M306

Added starts and diamond bursts from MoYou London What the Plate-04 using MdU 4, 11, 69 (mixed with white), and 80, along with Konad red.  I was aiming for these accent colours being the FIFA colours.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different with full size soccer images from MoYou London What the Plate-04.

As today is #MusicManiMonday, this mani is inspired by the FIFA 2026 anthem song Dai Dai by Shakira and Burna Boy.  

Thanks for looking and good luck to your team!

 

Let’s Go Blue Jays, Let’s Go!

The Toronto Blue Jays are currently in the World Series, with Game 6 just ending as I'm wrapping up this post.  They didn't win tonight but they got Game 7!  Let's Go Blue Jays!

Started with a base of Cupcake White VNL Blur, then added two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on all fingers except ring, which is OPI Fiyero's My Mani.  Then added Red Eyed Lacquer Like It's My First Tattoo on most of the other nails, except middle.  Shown with no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped images from Canadian Nail Fanatic with Fig Tree Stamps 002 on all fingers except the pinky using MdU 30, Maniology Blizzard B261 or a mix of them on some images.  The player sillouettes are double stamped to get good darkness.  The pinky is the coolest find everrrrr!  I stamped the ball from image UC mini:  Take Me Out To The Ball Game including the lines,and thought it needed more outline definition.  So I was going through the sports images I had and noticed that BM-XL183 looked similar in size to the solid ball so tried it out and low and behold, it was the perfect size.  It really ads definition to the stamped image I think, especially when the background polish isn't dark.

BM-XL183

Added starts from Maniology m054 for filler and interest using MdU 68.  Also maple leaf on the middle finger with an image from CjS-257 using CjS 062.  There was even an image that was perfect in size to fit on the Jays logo without shrinking, which was perfect!

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

 Thanks for looking....and Go Jays Go!  Game 7 is yours!
