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.

St. Patrick's Day Nails

 

I have a few St. Patrick's Day nails to share. These were the nails that I wore last St. Patrick's Day.  I didn't share them as I already had others that I had to post but thought I'd share them this year.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Tilda, then topped with Fancy Gloss Clover and Out.  I did these nails quickly and didn't think I was going to share them, so didn't take pictures of the entire mani as I normally do.

After topping with KBShimmer Clearly on Top, stamped with UC Mini:  St. Patrick's Day 4.

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

You Spin Me Round!

I can't believe I did these nails a couple years ago and still haven't shared them.  I. Absolutely. Love. How. They. Turned. Out!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.  This is one of my favourite blues to wear; have a couple back up bottles.

Topped with DRK Glory (PPU August 2023).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Maniology M401 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.  I don't think I've every lines up stamping so well.  Thank you clear stamper!

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

I love this combination so.  I've been looking for a backup bottle of Glory; if you decide it's not for you, hit me up....although I can't imagine why you'd want to part ways with it after seeing these nails!

 Sharing for #MusicManiMonday....You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive.

Lucky Stars

I unfortunately didn't get around to doing Olympic nails this year.  I planned on doing them but that was the time that I had a few work issues, that required working long hours, lots of late nights, so I was doing some simple nails at this time.  Mainly just polishing them every few days so I could catch a bit of the Olympics during the highlights in the late evening.  These nails were from a quick coat of polish in a new shade, over a base that I had worn for a few days and then some quick stamping.  Took about 15 minutes start to finish, which is exactly what I needed.  Here's what I came up with!

I had a base of Different Dimension Karma that I had wore for a few days.  For this mani, topped it with one coat of Morgan Taylor Belt It Out.  Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Used Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Painted Polish Thirty & Flirty, UberChic Kiss Me On My Tulips and Moyra SP 19 for a gradient, with an image from PY-J028.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Holographic Burst

Another simple mani, with stunning results!

Started with a base of Different Dimension Kiss Me Under the Light of a Thousand Stars.  My go to polish when I can't decide what to put on my nails, when I want neutral nails or a palette cleanser.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from AZ Big Nails 8 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

 Thanks for looking; and sorry for the poor cleanup!  Sometimes, I just want a quick mani change!
