Dots!

Another mani that I adored, this is so much a CNF mani: blue (of course), colourful (usually), holographic (yes please!), dots (so often!) and busy.  Busy might be my middle name!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Cirque Hudson with accent nails of Red Eyed Lacquer Not Today Red Barron (Hella Handmade Creations September 2022).  I love this polish and as so glad I was able to get a couple backup bottles!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on top.

Stamped using Hit The Bottle Vintage Grunge 01 using MdU 91, with accent nails of DRK XL Designer 01 using same stamping polish.

Used Picture Polish Stamped in Starfruit for floral centers, then decided to add it and Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery 2.0 for colour interest and filler.

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

 Thanks for looking!

Not Candycorn Nails

I haven't done a gradient in a long time and was pleasantly surprised how well this one turned out!  It was just too bad that I did this mani in the middle of summer versus in the fall or even late summer as this would have been a great base for a fall or Halloween mani!  Another time, I guess.  Here's what I came up with!

UberChic 28-03

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If, two coats, no top coat.

After adding a coat of QD TC and waiting for it to dry, did a sponged gradient using the same Morgan Taylor yellow, then Sally Hansen Insta-dri Healing Feeling and Sally Hansen Catch Me If You Can.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I love the interest that Ugh, As If adds to the base!

Stamped using image from UberChic UC 28-03 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Different lighting.

Hello Fall!

Fall officially arrives today!  Bring on all the fall mani's!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Amuse Me, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from MoYou London Fall In Love Collection-09 using MdU 9, 13, 106, 107 and 114.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I did Ms. Cindy a little different, but using the same plate and stamping polishes.

 Thanks for looking - and enjoy the fall season!

Such A Stunning Blue!

This base polish is absolutely stunning; I had to make sure I picked a stamping image that could still allow it's beauty to still be seen through and think I accomplished that.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Garden Path Lacquer Stray From The Path (Polish Pickup March 2022), no top coat.

Infinity Nails 164

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

A Late Summer Daisy

This is probably my most favourite mani that I've done for some time and thought I should share it soon before summer officially ends and I'm on to sharing fall nails.  Here's what I came up with!

Lantern & Wren Backgrounds 3

Started with blue skittles; polishes using starting at thumb are Rogue Lacquer Physical, OPI Duomo Days, Duoma Nights and Sally Hansen Blue Chip, no top coat.

Stamped lines using Lina Make Your Mark 02 using MdU 91, with accent nails using Wren & Lantern Backgrounds 3 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few more flowers on the lines.

Added floral centers using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.
