Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter!  

I'm sharing these nails today between Good Friday and Easter Monday as, other than the Easter nails I shared a couple days ago, these are the only Easter nails I'll be sharing this year.  My index fingers is almosstttt grown to the free edge but alas, my ring finger is now showing signs of nail injury and I think it's a matter of time before I have to remove the lifted section of nail to avoid losing it all.  3 nails in less than a year; it has been tough for this nail stamping fanatic.  If there is any consolation, it is that I haven't been buying as nearly many polishes as I have in the past as it just isn't that exciting to buy polishes that you can't wear.  I've still been wearing polish even on the darkest nail days but am leaning towards a plain creme or a dark holo with minimal to no stamping.  But I am looking forward to when they are all grown out so I can get back to doing my nails like I used to.  In the meanwhile, I'm doing plain nails and rocking shorties!

Started with a base of pastel skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Sally Hansen Sunbrella, OPI Polly Want a Lacquer?, OPI It's A Boy, OPI Suzi Shops & Island Hops and Margan Taylor Mint Chocolate Chip, no top coat.

Topped wwith Familiar Lacquer Bespeckled, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I found matching, or pretty close to, stamping polishes for each of the base colours.

Rotated each base colour one nail clockwise and stamped that colour on the next base polish; stamping polishes are MdU 43, light purple MDU (don't know number), MdU 85, MdU 99 and MoYou London Olive Tree, using image from Wistonia W216.

Stamped using images from Beauty Big Bang XL-103 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief on all fingers, and AZ Easter Gnomes 2 on thumb.

AZ Easter Gnomes 2.

Took the surround image from the finger images and put it on the thumb to frame.

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

Thought this might be one of those mani's that look cool in matte, so added Essie Matte About You.

I left Ms. Cindy with just base polishes and topper; liked how it turned out too!  I think this was matted.

 Hope you had a wonderful Easter; thanks for looking!

Easter Nails!

 These are the nails that I wore last Easter, but unfortunately, I didn't make note of the plates, polishes or stamping polishes, but I'll try to mention as much as I can.

Started with a base of Revlon Ultra HD Snap! Blue My Mind, with an unknown gradient that was slightly darker.

Topped with KShimmer Clearly on Top.

Made a few stamper decals.  The plates that I can recognize images from are MoYou London Festive 22 (index), MoYou London Festive 11 (middle), BP-60 (ring), Beauty Big Bang XL-103.  I couldn't find the pinky image but will update if I do.

These were base and stamping polishes.

Added some shadow stamped images on the index (dragon and butterfly) and flower on the thumb.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today, my baby boy turns 23! These are the nails I did for his birthday last year but didn't get around to sharing!

MoYou London Festive 69.

Started with a base of two coats of Painted Polish Fingertip Fandom on a white blur base, no top coat.  With all these colours, it's like a party on your nails, which is just the look I was wanting!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Nailways Spring Time - Birthday Cake

I made a whole bunch of stamper decals; on the middle and ring, used MoYou London Festive 02, and on the pinky and index used MoYou London Festive 9.  The thumb is Nailways Spring Time-Birthday Cake shadow stamped.  Used MdU 80, 83, 91, Painted polish Midnight Mischief and Clear Jelly Stamper Relay Red as stamping polishes.

Added flames, which was first stamped with MdU 83, then shadow stamped a mixture of MdU 107 and MdU 9.

I added yellow dots to the stars on the middle finger and some colourful sprinkles to the cupcake on the ring for some added colour and interest, as well as accented the flames on thee candles just a bit more to look a little bit more interesting.

Added a few party streamers from the Nailways plate on the ring finger.

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

Obsessed!

I'm kinda obsessed with the speckled polishes and even though I have quite a few of them, I was looking through my camera roll and I don't actually post them that often.  So I thought I had better post one now; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of China Glaze Under the Boardwalk; this is three coats, no top coat on a base of white blur base to help the pink pop!

Added a coat of Rogue Lacquer Batsy.

Topped with a base of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Apipila Super Placa J using MdU 93.  Such a great image to show off the base below, yet gives lots of interest in the nail design.

Blue Smooshy Base!

Smooshy stamper bases are one of the most effective bases as they pack a punch without much effort, other than a little bit a clean up.  Or sometimes, a lot of clean up!  Thankfully latex barrier has made clean up a lot easier than before it was around.  This was the last smooshy stamper mani that I did back in May 2022.

Used this assortment of polishes to create my stamper smoohy base.....

.....and this is how it turned out on my nails.

Stamped using image from Beauty Big Bang XL-031 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
