Lovely Lilac Daisies!

I haven't had nails this long in so long; I look at them and they don't even look like my nails!  I find that I can't wear long nails anymore; they get in the way of doing too many things, even though longer nails give an awesome stamping art canvas!

Started with a base of two coats of Stella Chroma Recreational Chemistry, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Added floral dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Taro.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Invisible

Just like the song Invisible by Alison Moyet, the stamping on these nails are (almost) invisible!  I think I took the tone on tone stamping a little too literal!  

Started with a base of two coats of Black Dahlia Lacquer The Fool Who Ripped His Pants (PPU February 2022), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Moyra 39 Eastern Mystic using MdU 91.

It's #MusicManiMonday and this mani is doing double duty; Alison Moyet's tune Invisible.

Stars for #MusicManiMonday

One day not too long ago, I was driving around doing errands and heard Coldplay's A Sky Full of Stars, so later that night when I sat down to do my nails, I decided to do a star themed mani for #MusicManiMonday.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Painted Polish Sweet & Serene, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Creative Shop 159 using Painted Polish Deux 2.0.

Happy Easter!!

Hopefully everyone had a good Easter weekend!  Here's the final set of Easter nails that I have to share this year!

MdU AZ Easter

MdU AZ Easter 2

Started with skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Essie Take The Lead, Zoya Kay, China Glaze Holy Sugar!, Zoya Lena and Zoya Tilda, no top coat.

Topped with Penelope Luz Scocery, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Decided to do some tone on tone stamping:  used MdU AZ Easter for words and index image and MdU AZ Easter 2 for the rest; I shrank some images and also double stamped some images to get image opaque.  Stamping polishes used were CjS 165, CjS 212, CjS 218, Painted Polish Stamped in Royalty and MdU 11.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Succulents!

I have so many blue mani's that it's a challenge to find a mani that's another colour.  And what isn't blue, seems to be an abundance of purple nails and I just shared purplse so came across this mani that is kinda blue and kinda purple but more pink than purple or blue, so here it is!

Started with a base of three coats of Fancy Gloss Hydrangea, no top coat.  This is so freakin' pretty!  

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

OMG!  So pretty!!!

Stamped using MdU 93 using EjB-01.  This stamping polish goes so well with the flakies making a really nice tone on tone look!

This mani has a lot of things that I love about nails - stamping, a pretty base, layering, a cool image that you can see the stamping underneath!

Topped with Girly Bits Grand Prospect Haul (Exclusive) Polish Con NYC 2017, no top coat.

Tone on Tone Snowflakes

These tone on tone nails pack a punch...a green punch in the face!  Not sure how successful this turned out but that's OK; still sharing the good, bad and the ugly!

Started with a base of three coats of Stella Chroma Recreational Chemistry, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle using an image from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 03.

Added a few dots for a pop of colour and some interest using MdU 80.
