Happy Family Day!

It's Family Day here in Ontario; I did these nails with the thought of families sharing time together outdoors having some winter fun!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient of Color Club Factory Girl and Sinful Colors Show and Teal.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Applied stamper decals from What's Up Nails B035 (thumb), BM-XL484 (index), Sugar Bubbles SBS 02 (middle), Delaney Hiver A002 (ring) and Delaney Hiver A001 (pinky).  The ring finger was stamped with image from Lesly Winter Mood 2 before applying the stamper decal.  Words on thumb are from Nailsways Back to Basics ABC 123.

BM XL-484

What's Up Nails B035

Lesly Winter Mood 2

Added random snowflake images for filler and interest using Konad Square 29.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I didn't notice the stamping smear until I posted these; too bad but these nails took a long time and I guess I should have waited a bit longer before top coating. 

 
I was going for an old fashioned kind of look, so topped with Glisten  Glow matte to get that vintage look.

 
Reapplied top coat to finish.

Hope you are enjoying your long weekend if you have it off....or a great Monday for everyone else!

Thanks for looking!

Last of the VDay Mani's!

This is the last of the VDay mani's and I'm sharing it after the fact as its one of those mani's you can wear any time of the year!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Color Club polishes in Flamingo, Totally Worth It and Warhol.  I love  using Color Club polishes for smooshy bases lately; the colours are so  opaque, vibrant and bold.  I've also used them for quite a few sponge gradients as well for the same reason.  And the best part was the price; I picked up packs and packs of them when they were for sale for $9.99 at Winners in the fall.  Seven polishes in a pack! Score!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hit the Bottle To Love or Not to Love-01.  This plate was offered in January 2020 PPU (but I've seen it for sale on a few different sites as well if you missed it) and it came in the mail maybeee 3 or so days before Valentine's.  I knew I already had enough VDay mani's to share, in fact, knew I wouldn't get them all shared before the day, but was anxious to use this one image so did a VDayish mani but again could use any time.

Stamped using Hit the Bottle To Love or Not to Love-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hope you're having a fantastic weekend; thanks for looking!

Happy Valentine's Day!

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.

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!

Thanks for looking!

Hot! Hot! Hot! Valentine Nails!

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

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.)
