Winter Wonderland!

I hope spring is right around the corner.  I think we've had enough snow and the only flakes I want to see until April are the ones on my nails.  Can't get enough of sharing snowflake nails including these ones.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Bluebird Polish Winter Is So Chill (PPU December 2023).  How appropriate for winter, snowflake nails!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Creative Shop 153 on all nails, and MdU AZ Winter 2, which are the words on the ring finger.  All using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Stamped a couple snowflakes on the ring finger from the same Creative Shop 153 by isolating the snowflake and stamping it alone.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  No matter if you celebrate with the one you love, or it's just another day, have a great one no matter what you do.  To me, it's just another day with the one I love lol.  We are past our celebrating days and it will be a quiet day at home just like any other day.  The past few years, we've also given the same VDay cards to each other as we don't see the sense of spending money unnecessarily or going out to eat when we can enjoy what we have at home.  That might be a downer to some, but that's how it is after 33 years.

Started with a base of skittles:  Bluebird Making Pour Decisions (thumb), KBShimmer Before & Aster (index), Zoya Lena (middle), Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuassion (ring) and Pahlish The Archer (pinky), no top coat.

MdU VP SV 3

Born Pretty Valentine's Day

Stamped using images from Beauty Big Bang XL-047 (thumb), MdU VP SV 3 (pinky),  PY-J033 (shrunken on middle and ring), Born Pretty Valentine's Day-L001 (index) and random hearts throughout using Nicole Diary-S23, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Have a wonderful Valentine's no matter what you do!

Valentines Hearts!

I did these nails last year and as you can see, my nails were really,  really short as they were just starting to grow out.  It didn't stop me from doing my nails though and I have oodles of archived mani's to share when they were this short, which I hope is also inspiration for those who have short nails.

Started with a coat of Cuticula Never Sleep Again (June 2024 PPU Rewind) on top of two coats of L'Oreal Rouge Amour, no top coat.  Ohhh, my nails looks so rough here.  Going out on a limb sharing them but not everyone has perfect nails all the time and I think it's important to share everyday life as not everyone has manicured nails all the time as well as the fact that nail art can be done on short nails too!

Stamped using image from Creative Shop 196 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

It's also #MusicManiMonday, and as Valentine's is all about love, music is Love Me Do by the Beatles!

Blue Hearts!

I'm in love....with these blue heart nails!  I could wear these all year long! And in so many different colours!  Love, love love!

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension ? It was unlabelled so not quite sure what it is.  It may be a named polish, or it may have been a mystery polish as I bought quite a few of them at their last release of polishes.  If you happen to recognize it, please let me know!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Apipilia Love using a mix of MdU 91 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
