Season's Greetings!

The holiday season is in full swing and before we know it, it will be December 26th and we'll be contemplating what we are going to be doing for New Year's!  I'm actually going to have a pretty low key Christmas; however, the weekend after will be quite busy as we have having family get togethers both days.  Anyway, I was looking through all the holiday nail art plates and came across the cutest gingerbread man plate on the thumb so decided to do nails based around gmen!  Here's what I came up with!

This was my test hand; the thumb turned out better placement wise so thought I'd share is too!

Started with a base of three coats of Scofflaw Ugly Renaissance Baby Paintings, no top coat.  This was part of April 2019 Polish Pickup.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Wistonia Have a Merry X'mas!(thumb) and B. Loves B.10 on the rest using MdU 22.

Wistonia Have a Merry X'mas!

Added seasonal greetings on thumb using Maniology M036 and holly using Marianne Nails n.118 using Konad red and MdU 37.  Also added dots here, there and everywhere using same two stamping polishes.

Decided didn't have enough dots so added more using CND Bicycle Yellow.  That isn't really why I added more lol, it was to brighten up the nails a bit!  This pix isn't the best; I had a really hard time with glare on the stamping as you can see on the pix above so tried some different lighting.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  Funny hand post to try to get the words on the thumb visible!

These almost made me want to make some gmen cookies.  Almost.  

Hope you're have a good weekend; thanks for looking!

Mistletoes!

Going through my draft posts to pick one to post, I realize i don't have a lot of holiday type of mani's to share yet this year!  I've only done a few, although it does seem like I've done my share fair of snowflake and ugly sweater mani's!  I had better remedy this soon in the next few days!  But this is a holiday mani I did do not too long ago that I am sharing now.  It kinda has a vintage vibe, don't you think?  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Cadillacquer Odette, three coats, no top coat.  A perfect base to do any Christmas or snow nail art!

Topped with  KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 03 using MdU 48. 

Added dots using Moyra sp.02.

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

Digitial Does Does Accent Nails; Day 3

I have to say that 99% of the time when I do accent nails, the accent is on the ring finger.  But for some reason, I decided here to do it on the middle and and I don't not like it.  In fact, this is another mani that I really like how it turned out!  Here's my day 3 mani for Digit-al Dozen accent nail challenge!

Started with a base of three coats of OPI Grab the Unicorn by the Horns, no top coat.  Love, love, love this colour but it's not my favourite thing having to do three coats of any polish.  

To jazz it up a bit, did a thin coat of Color Club Bougie Baby (I think, as this was one of those club packs that I bought from Winners  that didn't have labels on the bottom of them!)

Stamped strips on accent nail using UC Op Art Magic using MdU 35.  The large stars are from UberChic 10-03 and the large stars are from UberChic 12-03 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does Accent Nails; Day 2!

I did these nails a year or so ago, just too many mani's, not enough time!  But I thought the Digit-al Dozen accent theme will be the perfect time to finally share them!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of FingerPaints Piece de Resistance, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Lina 4 Season-Winter 02 using CND Gold Chrome.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

And while the nails were very pretty with high gloss, I thought they would look pretty cool matte, so added a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte for another look.  I can't decide which one I like better??!!

Then for something a little different, stamped another image from the same plate on top for some 

double stamping.  Used FunkyFingers Gesso.   Like this look too!
