Colourful Skittles

I found it quite amusing that I did these nails last year and they are almost the same exact polishes that I used for my Pride themed nails shared on June 1, 2025 that I did this year.  I guess I'm consistent in what I like to put on my nails lol!  I had planned on sharing these for Pride month, but didn't have time.  Here's what I came up with!

Polished are all Glam Polish; from thumb going clockwise:  Fin-tastic!, Such A Catch, Oh Buoy!, The Boss Beach and Crest City.  All two coats on white blur base.

Stamped using Painted Polish Blanc Slate using Apipila P.39.

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

Checking ack, the polishes are slightly different, but pretty close.  Three of the five polishes were duplicated.  Thanks for looking!

Blue Daisies!

If you've been here for a while, you'll know that for the last couple of years I've been struggling with one nail issue or another.  But it hasn't stopped me from doing my nails and this was one of those times that I still did them and loved how they turned out, even though they may not look follower friendly or Instagram perfect, but I'm sharing them anyway.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Orly De-stressed and accent nails of Pretty Beauty Unlimited Candy Floss (PPU February 2018).

Topped the Orly using DRK In Living Color.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped plaid using MoYou London Care Bears Unlock the Magic 07 using MdU 01.

Added flowers using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Dotted daisy centers with Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit and Edm Navy Blue.

Added more dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.  The thumb also has a coat of Painted Polish 2019. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

CjS H-113

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-257 for all images except the word Happy and the heart, which is from CjS H-113, using MdU 11 and Konad Red and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Did Ms. Cindy slightly different but still cool using same plates and polishes.

Happy Canada Day!

Clouds!

Another mani with flakies and a great image that lets them shine through!

Started with a base of Orly Synthetic Symphony topped with Paint It Pretty Water Gun Fun, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I didn't share the Orly base by itself as I didn't think I was going to share these nails and this is the point that I started to take pictures.  

Stamped using Sugar Bubbles SB022 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Welcome, Summer!

Welcome, Summer!  Summer has officially arrived and nothing screams summer like flowers in bloom so I'm sharing these floral nails!

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish This Room Is A Mess! Classic Mom mystery batch.  No top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped plaid with image from Creative Shop 182 Basic with MdU 91.

Added flowers from Lina 4 Seasons Spring-02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Added floral centers using MdU 80.  

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

After a day or so, added a coat of Essie Matte About You.  I really liked the look of the matte version, too.

Have a wonderful summer!

 

Failed Shadow Stamping

I did these nails on September 24, 2019.  I can't recall if shadow stamping was a thing then or not but if it was and I was trying it out, it clearly didn't work out here!  So many fails in these nails but they are kinda cool in their own way so thought I'd share now!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a gradient base of Color Club East Austin and Youthquake, no top coat, with East Austin as the full base.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from UberChic Of Art Magic using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief.  I'm not sure if I was shadow stamping, or just wanted something more obvious for the stamped image.  

Uberchic Of Art Magic

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  This is obviously before my use of Apipila No Smear Top coat....or maybe it wasn't even out then.  Quite possible.  This was in the float your topcoat to not smear your stamping days and even though I always waited a bit before applying topcoat, sometimes like shown here, it wasn't long enough or too heavy of a hand was used.  Thank goodness, no smear top coats are available now!  Although, looking at these nails, it might have been cool if the smear was all through the nail on all nails as it kinda gives it a web look!

Layering Done Right

 Another stunning layering combination!  I have so much fun layering polishes; it's one of my favourite things to do!  Fun fact:  These nails are from 2024 and I loved them so much that I recreated them and they are on my nails right now!  

Started with a base of Essie Take the Lead, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with Pahlish Boo Bayou Test Batch.  Love!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Big SdP L using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
