Sunny Dayzzzz

Two of my favourite things are sunsets and water.  One of my favourite things to do on vacation is seeing the sunset over open water.  And no pricy excursion fees to see it!  These nails are an ode to that and I've shared a few pictures from vacations featuring sunsets, palm trees and surfing!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Sally Hansen Off With Her Red, Essie You know the Espadrille and Sally Hanbsen Catch Me If You Can, on a base of Essie You Know the Espadrille.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using imnages from MdU ZZ Summer 2 (pinky and index), What's Up Nails B056 (thumb and birds on index), Maniology X Surfrider Foundation m232 (middle) and UberChic UC Vacation Mode (ring) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Mother's Day Bouquet!

Here's a bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day!

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish Love is Love, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

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

Added floral centers using OPI Lima Tell You About This Colour! 

Then topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Pahlish Love is Love is stunning and how appropriate is that name for Mother's Day?  Hope you had a good one if you celebrate!

Fishy's

I went snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean on one of my cruises and I hadn't snorkeled in about 20 years but it's just like riding a bike.  Unlike 20 years ago when I last snorkeled, I was able to take some underwater pictures of fish with one of those waterproof pouches for your phone camera.  I didn't trust it with my latest version of phone so took an older phone but as luck would have it, I didn't have to worry as it never leaked.  However, the fish pix weren't as good as the colourful fish and coral I seen 20 years ago; I remember seeing a sting ray 20 years ago and was hyperventilating while it was near me, hoping it didn't come too close, but I hope I go snorkeling again and my current bucket list item is to see a turtle.  Keeping my fingers crossed! 

I did a stamper smooshy base for this mani; here are the polishes that were used.  

CjS-128

Polishes are OPI Charge It to Their Room, OPI I'm Yacht Leaving, OPI Destinies to be a Legend, Essie Aruba Blue, Morgan Taylor Take Me to Your Tribe, Sally Hansen Blinding Blue, Quo Happy-Go-Lucky, and Essence Walk on Air.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped nails with UberChic Mini:  Nautical using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, with an accent nail of CjS-128 using MdU 11, Mdu 107 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

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

I was even able to Ms. Cindy in the same design and it didn't turn out half bad, so thought I'd share it too!

Tropical Flowers

One of the cool things about vacationing in the tropics is the oh so pretty tropical flowers and I always stop and take lots of pictures of them when I see them.  This is an ode to the tropical florals that I see while on vacation. 

Started with a base of OPI Living on the Bula-vard and Essie Love-all Game, no top coat.

Layered with Fancy Gloss Ethiopian Opal, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 02 and UberChic UC Beach Please, using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  Had a little bit of stamping smear on the middle finger; this is why I now use Apipila Smudge Free top coat before top coating.

I also used Essie Matte About You as thought it would be nice to see the flakes of the Fancy Gloss and it didn't disappoint.
