Happy Valentine's Day!

Today, it's all about being with the one you love and these nails reflect the big day of love!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Toying With Trouble, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Lina All About Love 01

Moyra 71-L'Amour

Stamped with images from Lina All About Love 01 (pinky and middle), MoYou Festive 20 (thumb and ring) and Moyra 71 L-Amour (index) using MdU 1.  Added little hearts on the thumb using same MoYou Festive 20 plate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Another Valentine's Day Mani!

As I had mentioned in a prior post, I've done a lot of Valentine nails, just haven't had a chance to share them all.  I'm hopefully going to share a few in the next few days and who knows when the rest will be shared!  I think this was my favourite of the ones I did this year so for sure wanted to get it shared!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a smooshy stamper base of Color Club Island Vibes, Peace Out Purple, Mrs. Robinson and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from MdU Valentin 4 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Looking at this mani, I probably could have posted it any time of the year as hearts are generic enough I suppose!  But hopefully someone will appreciate them for Valentine's Day anyway!

Valentine Nails!

With Valentine's Day less than a week away, I thought I had better start to share a few mani's!  Here's a quick one I did not too long ago!

For this mani, I had picked out the flakie topper first, then went on the hunt for the perfect base.  This is two coats of OPI She's A Bad Muffuletta, no top oat.

Topped with Polished for Days Long Live the King (September 2019 PPU), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Delaney Water Marble

Stamped using image from Delaney Water Marble using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Super Bowl Nails!

Good afternoon!  I'm typing this post as I'm making a pot of chili for the game tonight!  Who else is watching??  I'm not a big football fan so not really rooting for either of the teams but will be watching for the half time show and any new cool commercials.  But I do like do to nails based on the game so here's what I came up with this year!  

Started with a base of Great Lakes Lacquer The Traveling Linguist (thumb), Masura Botanical Garden (middle), and OPI Dahlia Darling on the rest, but all but the ring finger were also topped with a coat of Scofflaw Are You A Veronica or A Betty?

Topped all except middle with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  The middle (I thought) was a texture polish and I wanted the grass texture but it really wasn't much of a texture polish.  I didn't top coat it here but I did later.

  

Made stamper decals for the index and middle using MJ XXIV and AK Coleccion 35 for the ring finger and small football on pinky using MdU 3, 9 and 22; Moyra SP 02 and 05 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief.  Also added images from UC Sports Fan-01 on middle and pinky.  Gold on index is CND Gold Chrome.

I can't recall which plate this is; I planned on using it but never in the end.

AK Coleccion 35.

Added dots using MdU 9 (the deeper red representing San Fransico) and Moyra Sp. 02 (the brighter red representing Kansas City).  Also added a few gold dots using CND Gold Chrome.  Oh and I did something new (to me) today!  See the NFL logo on the middle?  Well, I first stamped it in navy using Moyra SP 05 and then removed the NFL words.  Made a stamper decal and filled in with the white which was Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Then I stamped it using a different stamper using the red Moyra SP 02 and then removed all but the words.  Then to put it on the nail, I first stamped the blue logo, then stamped the red words on top of the stamper decal.  Thank goodness for clear stampers!  So cool; it gives way more options for stamping doing this.  (I seen this on the MoYou London site; the gal who is their regular nail model had done it.)

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy Chinese New Year!

I know I'm a few days late but thought I would share them anyway!  No other time that a rat will be on my nails!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI Black Onyx, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Sally Hansen Cherry Delight; all two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I had premade a couple stamper decals for the index and middle fingers using Sugar Bubbles SB 043 and Maniology M083 respectively.  Also used MoYou Zodiac 13 (pinky and thumb), Maniology M044 (symbol on ring) and Maniology M083 again for the words on the ring finger.  Stamping polishes used are Konad red special polish, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Hit the Bottle To Have and to Gold including for the shadow stamping.

Maniology M083

Maniology M044

MoYou Zodiac Collection-13

Added a few blossoms on the middle finger using Maniology M083, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added a few dots for filler and interest using Konad red special polish and Hit the Bottle To Have and to Gold.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Snowflakes!

I've been doing a lot of snowflake mani's; so many plates that have so many different flake images so I've been trying to use as many as I can including some that I've had a while but hadn't peeled the plastic off of yet!  Here's one that I came up with not too long ago!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Walker, no top coat.

Topped with a light coat of Polished for Days Pixie Dust.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 with accent nails of Messy Mansion MM55.

I have to admit; I haven't been a real fan of negative space images; I've done a few but not my preferred images for stamping, mainly as I think too much of the base colour is covered with stamping polish.  But I do have to admit, since I've done a few for the Digit-al Dozen space challenge (negative space, get it??!!), I've been reaching for them a bit more lately!  With the right image, the base can be highlighted as I think is the case with these two accent nails.
