Fall Y’all

Fall officially arrives tonight at 8:05 pm so bring on the fall nails, y'all!  

I like to do some unusual colour combinations so looked for something out of the usual; picked Morgan Taylor Gotta Have Hue, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UberChic Autumn Mood

I bought a few different CjS stamping polishes with my birthday code and was excited to use them for these nails.  But unfortunately, I didn't get the pop of colour I was looking for.

So used MdU 11, 13, 52 and 53 and got more of the pop of colour I was looking for.  Thumb image is UC mini:  Give Thanks 2.

I didn't want to put the words 'COZY' into the voids like on the plate, so checked my fall stamping plates and seen letters from CjS LC-57 that looked like they would fit, so added them using MdU 11. (There is a slight shadow on the pinky as I first used a CjS polish but again, unfortunately, it wasn't the pop of colour I was going for and I thought it would be too hard to remove it.)  And if you were wondering what the layer of polish on the thumb is, it's sticky base to help the stamping polish adhere as I was having a hard time getting the image to stamp.

Added a few maple leafs from ZJoy Plus 037 using MdU 11, 13, 52 and Konad Red special polish.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

It’s My Birthday!

Here's to another trip around the sun and another year older!  Here's the nails I'm wearing to my birthday today!

Started with a base of Cupcake White Pop, then topped with OPI Summer Monday-Fridays, with an accent of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Put a coat of Quo Epic Remix over OPI MBSW, then added top coat.

Added balloons using image from MoYou Festive 69 and the small bubbles from Chez Delaney Fete 003 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Stamping colours are MdU 11, 13, 29, 91 and 102.  Some of the images weren't the best, so I used a brush and filled in where needed.

Added words on accent nails with image from MoYou Festive 69 and MdU 11.  Dotted using all colours except 102.

Shadow stamped on accent MdU 91; however, it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

So shadow stamped again using MdU 102, then added a few dots 102 to match.  

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different, but still on theme!

Thanks for looking!

Long Haired, Freaky People

Happy Monday!  It's #MusicManiMonday and this song is based on the song, Signs, Signs, Everywhere, by Five Man Electric Band, inspired by the line 'long haired, freaky people', and as it was a song of the 70's, did a hippy type of theme.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using OPI Pear-Adice Cove, Quo Petunia, Essie Offhead Chic, Sally Hansen Writing on the Walls and Sally Hansen Colour Instinct, no top coat.

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Moyra 12-Faces

CjS-117

Stamped using MdU ZZ Hippy on all fingers except thumb, which is Moyra 12-Faces using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Added flowers, peace signs, and heart accents from Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-117 using MdU 11, 80 and 91.

Dotted floral centers with same polishes.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 Thanks for looking!

(Not intended to make fun of long haired, freaky people, lol!)

Daisies!

It's been a day or two (joking!) since I shared a daisy mani and I have oh so many to share, so thought I'd share this one today!

Started with a base of OPI Tile Art To Warm Your Heart, with accent nails of Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Candy Floss.

Topped thumb nails with Red Eyed Lacquer Not Today Red Barron, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lined with EYNails n2 using MdU 68.

Added daisies from CjS-346 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Dotted floral centers with Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This is one of my favourite colour combinations and I love the Pretty Beautiful Unlimited; if you see a bottle for sale, PLMK as I'm looking for a backup!

Thanks for looking!

I Saw The Constellations...

It's #MusicManiMonday and these nails are inspired by Bobcaygeon by The Tragically Hip.  I was ironically in Bobcaygeon a couple weeks ago.  Out for a drive to pick up my favourite jam, Strawberry Rhubarb, at McLean Berry Farm near Buckhorn, and this song came to mind when I drove through town.  

Started with two coats of Bee's Knees When Things Look Glum, Vote 31.  This is my high tech way of showing 2 coats.

Two coats weren't giving me the coverage I was going for, so I did three.

Still kinda patchy, but I knew I was using an image that would cover a lot of the base. Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from KADS Immaturity 032 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

KADS Immaturity 032

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

Inspired by Alan Dyer and the Amazing Sky.  I hope I can learn to take a picture like this some day!

On another note, I miss Gord Downie and can't believe it has been 9 years since he passed.  I remember his farewell tour like it was yesterday.  I wasn't the biggest Hip fan, but he was an icon for sure and he is missed.  His music lives on. 

Thanks for looking!

Floating On

I can see why this polish is called Float On; it is the colour of water that I would like to float in on a lazy summer afternoon.  It even sparkles like the reflection of the sun, hitting the water just so.  Stunning.

Started with a base of ILNP Float On, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Marianne Nails n05 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

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