Will the Snow Ever End?

The holiday season is over and now were in the throes of winter.  It's snowing as I type this and even with the snow that we have, we've been lucky compared to other parts of Ontario who already have several feet of snow.  The only good thing about the white stuff is it gives me reason to do pretty snowflake mani's including this one!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with two coats of Morgan Taylor Totally Better, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Topped accent nails with one thin coat of Pahlish Boo Bayou.

Applied KBShimmer Clearly on Top again.  The first time was a mistake.

The images with the lines and snowflakes are from Nicole Diary-L32, the rest are Bohemia Stamping Frosted Fairyland, all using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different; applied the Pahlish to all nails along with the lines and snowflakes.  

 Thanks for looking!

Cheers To You in 2026!

Cheers to you in 2026!  My wish is that you have a fantastic year!

Started with a base of Penelope Luz Yin Yang 10 Years on base of Cupcake White Pop (thumb and pinky), Zoya Carey topped with Noodles Nail Polish Sugar Hill (middle) and Pahlish Fresh Out the Slammer on the rest.

Stamped using images from SugarBubbles SBS 031 (thumb), SugarBubbles SBS12 (middle), MouTeen-197 (cheers and you on the ring), Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-48 (pinky, index and numbers on ring).  Used Hit The Bottle To Have and To Gold and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief stamping polishes.  I didn't see the stamping on the middle finger on my skin until after I had taken this picture and did the next step.  D'uh!

Added words To and You with image from Moyra 111 Editor and shadow stamped the other words.  Still didn't see the stamping on the middle finger that extended onto the skin.

Here, I finally seen it and fixed it lol!

Added some starbursts/fireworks on thumb, index and middle using CjS H48

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This is one of those manis that you think the details will shine when its matte topcoated, so added a layer of Essie Matte About You.  I'm divided which version I like better!

All the best to you in 2026!  This is your year and I sincerely wish you and yours the very best!

Thanks for looking!

 

Hello New Year!

Hello, 2026!  Here's to the New Year!

This post is short and sweet as I only took a few pictures of these nail, which I wore to ring in 2026!  Started with a base of OPI Black Onyx.

Stamped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After waiting about 45 minutes to ensure they were dry, stamped using MdU AZ New Year on the thumb and ring, and Maniology M445 on the rest of them.  I used holographic chrome power to highlight the image after stamping with CjS sticky stamping polish as it dries the slowest.  I did the pinky first and it turned out great; however, the middle and index fingers, it went full coverage on the nail.  Instead of removing it, I just went with the flow and then stamped the image on top of the chrome, but I really wanted all the nails to look like the pinky image so the stamped image was holographic. I don't know why it went full on coverage as this was my first time using chrome powder and haven't researched it but the nails were bone dry so it shouldn't have stuck.  

After topping with a coat of Sophi water base top coat, topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Maniology M445

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different; used same base polish and plates but stamping using CbL Sparkling Diamond stamping polish and whooo-eeee, it really sparkles like a diamond!  This is a really good option for stamped holographic nails!

I did these charcuterie boards for our stay in on the couch New Year's Eve; we had the board around 11 pm and then a candy board at midnight.  I  thought they turned out pretty cool so thought I'd share!

And oh my lantra, cutting those letters out from cheese was tedious but I think they took the board to another level!  

 I wish the best to you and yours in 2026!  

Happy New Year's Eve!

 Happy New Year's Eve!  I hope you are enjoying it with the one(s) you love!

Started with a base of two coats of Noodles Nail Polish New Year Wishes on the thumb, with Estessimo Tins The New Snow Love over one coat of Cupcake White Pop on the rest of the nails.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I knew I was going to do layered stamping and shadow stamping on my nails; started with MdU 11 using images from MouTeen 197 on ring and CjS H-124 on the rest.  Stamping polishes on thumb are Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, layer stamped and shadow stamped using same plates.

Added a few extra stars on the thumb, index and pinky using CjS H-124 and same stamping polishes.

CjS H-124

MouTeen-19

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Have a wonderful New Years and all the best to you in 2026!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!  Hopefully, you've are having a wonderful holiday season!

One night when I sat down to do my nails, I spent so much time looking through my Christmas plates, that it was the wee hours of the morning and my nails were still bare.  So I quickly did these, but I do have to say, they are one of my favourites of the season!  Started with a base of Sally Hansen CSM Cherry Delight, topped with two coats of Colores de Carol XOXO, Chance 173 topped with two coats of Fancy Gloss Clover and Cupcake White Blur topped with one thin coat of Fancy Gloss Tinsel Garland.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines from Wistonia Jingle All the Way using Painted Polish Blanc Slate,

Stamped thumb using image from MdU 2 Christmas 2.

Shadow stamped thumb using Moyra SP 02.  Can I just say I can't get over the thumb polish!?!  Perfect for Christmas....I want to use this look over and over again!

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Using this mani for #Music Mani Monday, too!
