Bunnies!

Sharing these bright bunnies for Easter!

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Baby It's Bold Outside, no top coat.

Topped with All Mixed Up Lacquers Totally Bonkers.  I love this glitter; it was nice to use it again and the mix of glitters and the pop of colour was fantastic!  However, what wasn't fantastic was the amount of fishing I had to do for the glitters plus the goopy base it was in, which resulted in quite a bit of polish sitting on my nails to get this amount of glitter on them.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I dried my nails for quite a while under the nail dryer so get hopefully get the thick base to dry before stamping.

Stamped using Simply Polished Spring with MdU 107 (thumb), MdU AZ Easter with MdU 15 (index), MdU AZ Easter 3 using MdU 91 (middle), MdU Peeps with MdU 11 (ring) and Nicole Diary-042 with MdU 39 (pinky).  I had to stamp all images 2-3 times to get the vibrant colour and you can see that the base wasn't dry on all nails as it indented from the stamping.

MdU AZ Easter 3

Simply Polished Spring

After topping with Girly Bits Glitter Glaze, topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I stamped Ms. Cindy but slightly different as, even though I love glitter, it still is a PITA to remove, so topped Pahlish Love To Love You Pride 2025 on same base, then stamped with an image from MdU Peeps using same stamping polishes.

Easter Egg Nails!

Like St. Patrick's Day, Easter has snuck up on me and while I have mani's to share, am running out of time to post them.  Hopefully I'll get a few shared before it passes.  

Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise, Never Mind Ginger Taste, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Miami Ice, Orly Bleu Iris, Cirque High Roller and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pink Cadillaquer.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I decided I wanted speckled egg nails, so added a coat of Fancy Gloss Crushed Onyx.  It was a little heavier than I was wanting and I should have applied it before top coating, but that's OK; I decided I can make it work.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Thankfully I have a nail dryer so dried my nails for a bit to ensure they were good before stamping.

Stamped using Apipila XL using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  This isn't what I had in mind, but I couldn't decide on a bright colour that would pop on all the nails, that still worked with the black specks.  It was OK but not what I had anticipated.  Also, I shrunk the image using the size adjusting stamper or otherwise, would have just one line of wavy lines as it is a fairly bit image on my itty bitty nails.

Apipila XL.  Yes, I bought this plate strictly for the image I used here.  We all do it!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Welcome Spring!

Spring officially arrives today at 10:46 am so I'm sharing the spring-esque nails on the dot of spring.  Right colours, wrong flowers but daisies will be out soon enough!  

Started with a base of Cirque Matcha (index and pinky), Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pink Cadillaquer (middle and ring) and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Fuchsia Fever (thumb), no top coat, all on a coat of Cupcake White Pop.

Topped with a coat of Noodles Snowkissed, one thin.  I rediscovered this polish when I was pulling green polishes for St. Patrick's Day nails and seen this one sitting there and I thought it would be perfect for a spring mani.  And here we are!  Cirque Matcha was one of the greens I had pulled for St. Patrick's Day nails as well.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from SdP-67 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  This is a full nail image and is isolated an image and enlarged it using the sizing stamper and placed them several times on the middle and ring fingers.

Dotted centers of the polishes using the same base polishes.

Topped with Girly Bits Glitter Glaze to smooth the glitter, then topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Another St. Patrick's Day Mani

Look at me; doing a second St. Patrick's Day mani in one day!  I had done quite a few St. Pats manis but time got away from me and I didn't get them shared, so while I have a good start to next years themed manis, I wanted to share another as I have them ready to share.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Pahlish Wild Lands (pinky, middle, index), Painted Polish Irish You Luck on Cupcake White Pop (ring) and Zoya Tilda (thumb).

Topped thumb with Glam Polish Wicked Cute.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using CjS H-103 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, MdU 50, MdU 8 and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey.  Stamped index and pinky with image from BeautyBigBang XL-067 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, and ring and middle with image from Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish, having shrunk the words on the ring finger, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and MdU 39.

Shadow stamped middle with MdU 39 and ring with Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey.

Added small shamrocks on ring, middle and thumb using image from CjS H-50 Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey.

CjS H-103

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Accent nail is Jen & Berries The Thing Cannot Be Described (LBOH February 2025), stamped with image from Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  May you find a pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow!  

Started with a layered base of CND DC 2521 Quantum Leap (not shown) topped with one thin coat of Glam Polish The Juice is Loose.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using images from MoYou Festive 75 (lines on pinky and index and shamrocks on middle and ring), UberChic UC mini: St. Patrick's Day (thumb) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added shamrocks on index and pinky using Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish using What's Up Nails The Other Side.  The design got lost so I found shamrocks on other plates that actually fit pretty well on Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover, so outlines with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This is Ms. Cindy; same base polishes and then stamped with an image from UC mini:  St. Patrick's Day 4 (told you it was one of my favourite images as mentioned in last post!)

Wasn't It A (St. Patrick's Day) Party!

With St. Patrick's Day being tomorrow, this past weekend was a popular day for St. Patrick's Day parties (or so I'm told), so sharing these fun nails that would have been perfect for a party, had I gone to one.  And the perfect St. Patrick's Day party song is Wasn't It A Party by The Irish Rovers, for #MusicManiMonday.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Glam Polish Happy Grass (PPU March 2025) on pinky and index, Glam Polish There Ain't Nothing Gonna Stop Me Now on thumb, and DND DC 2521 Quantum Leap on the rest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Excuse the smear on the middle; it was three coats of polish and wasn't quite dry.

Stamped using images from M561 on index and pinky using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and What's Up Pod Partners.  Thumb is also Maniology M561, shadow stamped using MdU 11 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Ring finger is MdU Irish 1 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, MdU 13 and China Glaze GR8 on the hat band on the stamper decal.  Middle finger is layered stamping using CjS H-104 using MdU 60,68, 39, 11, 13 and Moyra SP02 in that order for the rainbow.  The gold coins are stamped with Hit the Bottle To Have and to Gold with image from CjS H-104.  The orange on the ring and finger was a grid type of stamping image that didn't stamp well so I had to go in another direction.

Isolated the coins from the image on CjS H-104 and stamped them using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Hand painted the rainbow on the thumb (not very well!).

Added a few accents for interest and filler with images from Maniology M561 on middle, thumb and ring using Painted Polish Woodland Whimsy and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
