Another Day. Another Blue Mani.

What can I say?  I like blue!

Started with a base of one coat of Glam Batch 9 on a coat of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Hydro Electric.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped image from Uberchic 3-03 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few dots for filler and interest using MdU 68.

Nails from Five Years Ago

I did these nails back in November 2018...making them not quite 5 years ago.  I have no idea why I didn't share them at the time...could have been too busy, had better nails to share, ticked at the stamping smear so didn't think they were post worthy.  Who knows.  But I've had them saved for a while now and they don't look that bad, so here I am, finally sharing them!

Creative Shop 111

Started with a sponged gradient using ILNP Avalon and No Days Off, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Creative Shop 111 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped using a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Smeared stamping fail from not floating the top coat well enough.  Thankfully since then, I've discovered Apipila no smear top coat and use it reguarly now.  No issues with stamping smear now.  Game changer!

Blue Print

It's not easy trying to find nails to post that aren't either blue or a floral. So as I just posted a floral, I figure it's OK to share a blue mani!  This kinda looks like a floral too...but at least it isn't a daisy mani!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Waterfall in Love, no top coat.

Topped with a thin coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pride Blue Serenity, no top coat.  I'm not sure why I did this combination; I'm sure I have the dup of this layered look somewhere in my stash! 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Moyra 78-Aquatic using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few dots using MdU 91.

Daisies!

I know that I do these daisy mani's way too often but I like them and have found a few different ways to incorporate them into different looking daisy mani's, so here is yet another one!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Go Figures, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Cirque Blaze Glaze, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Make Your Mark 02 using Painted Polish Stamped in Slate.

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

Added dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

My nails aren't the best shape here but it doens't stop me from doing them as it will need to take more than shorties and hangnails from stopping me doing my nails!

Waves!

Here is another simple mani, using a plate that I use fairly often when I can't decide what I want to put on my nails as it has everything I love about stamping:  an interesting image with lots of space to see the base polish underneath.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Oeseas, no top coat.

Topped with Phoenix Indie Polish Architect of Olympus (HHC Aug 2022), no top coat.

Topped with a caot of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Marianne Nails n53 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Painted Polish Stamped in Taro and Moyra SP 19, no topcoat.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Super Easy Nails!

It took some searching to come up with nails that weren't blue and I found these easy nails from 2019 that hadn't been shared.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Different Dimension Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, no top coat.  When I don't know what to put on my nails, this is one of my go-to's.  I have a few backups of this polish and it is a favourite, for sure.

Stamped using an image from Big SdP Q using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with a coat of Nailed It Life Orb (HHC May 2023), no top coat.
