FIFA 2026

The 2026 World Cup of soccer started last week, with the opening ceremonies taking place in Los Angeles and Toronto, which is also a host city for matches.  So I decided to do FIFA 2026 nails for the occasion!

Started with base polishes of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls with accent nails of Orly Double Diamond on Cupcake White Pop. Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Stamped using images from MoYou London What The Plate Collection-04 (pinky, middle and player on thumb and shrunken on index) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Stamped goal with image from MdU AZ Sports 3 Soccer 1 and words on ring using Maniology m306, again with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Added image from CjS-91 above words on the ring, after double stamping it to reverse the image.

MdU AZ Sports 3 Soccer 1

Maniology M306

Added starts and diamond bursts from MoYou London What the Plate-04 using MdU 4, 11, 69 (mixed with white), and 80, along with Konad red.  I was aiming for these accent colours being the FIFA colours.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different with full size soccer images from MoYou London What the Plate-04.

As today is #MusicManiMonday, this mani is inspired by the FIFA 2026 anthem song Dai Dai by Shakira and Burna Boy.  

Thanks for looking and good luck to your team!

 

Why, oh Why!

Why, oh, why, do I not wear teal more often?  I wear blue so often, I forget about it's cousin but teal should get more loving, I think.  I know.  Probably because teal can be a stainer and no one likes stained nails.  I did these a while ago and can't remember if they stained; I hope not, as I need to wear it again soon!

Started with a base of Colors by llarowe The Deep End (holo version), no top coat.  Sigh.  It is too bad that Colors by llarowe aren't in business now as they certainly had a lot of great polishes, with a good formula and I have a lot of brands I wouldn't have otherwise been able to get because of their store.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Apipila P24 with a stamped gradient using MdU 91 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Swirls!

Dance Legend has some great polishes, which makes me wonder why I don't wear them more often.  Come to think of it, I know why.  Too many polishes!  I'm glad I was able to wear this one at least!  I wonder if they are still in business.  Does anyone know?  I don't see many posts about them now as I did years ago, probably because there are now so many polish options with the indie polish explosion.  

Started with a base of two coats of Dance Legend Wow Prism Night Ranger, with a little extra at the tips.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Moyra 54 Matrix using a combination of MdU 91 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Here's To You Mrs. Robinson!

It's #MusicManiMonday and these are tribute to Here's To You, Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel.  If you wonder how these relate, keep on reading!

Started with a base of two coats of Color Club Mrs. Robinson, no top coat.  Do you get it now?

Topped with Pahlish Anathema, no top coat.

Time Flies

Oh my, time flies.  I have commented many times before that I have loads of draft nails as I do my nails way more often than I post.  So I'm trying to post some of the archived nails while I have been on a mani hiatus while my one nail grows out and came across this mani.  From five years ago to the day.  Five!  Where does the time go?  Time certainly doesn't stand still.  

Started with a base of Sinful Colors Blue La La, two coats, no top coat.

UC 7-02

Topped with Seche Diamond Dust, no top coat.

Daisies!

Not the blue daisies I usually wear but I did these as I still wanted summer nails and to change up the colours a bit.  Here's what I came up with! 

Started with a base of Cirque El Capitan and Cirque Hustle, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Used same base polishes and added floral center dots on the opposite colour.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 Thanks for looking!

Invisible

Just like the song Invisible by Alison Moyet, the stamping on these nails are (almost) invisible!  I think I took the tone on tone stamping a little too literal!  

Started with a base of two coats of Black Dahlia Lacquer The Fool Who Ripped His Pants (PPU February 2022), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Moyra 39 Eastern Mystic using MdU 91.

It's #MusicManiMonday and this mani is doing double duty; Alison Moyet's tune Invisible.
