Mermaid Scales

I think the addition of the layered flakies really adds to this mani; so glad I added it before the stamping!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Quo Sweet Lollipop, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Sugar Bubbles SB 062

Did a sponged gradient using Quo Sweet Lollipop and Orly Gotta Bounce.

While that was pretty, I wanted to add a little extra, so topped with a coat of Fancy Gloss Witchcraft.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Sugar Bubbles Sb 062 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Another Flower Mani

 It's been a few posts since I last shared these daisy nails that I keep on rehashing over and over so here's another version!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Orly De-Stressed, with accent nails of Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Candy Floss.

Kelly Negri KN 33

Topped the Orly base with DRK In Living Color, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines using Lina Make Your Mark 03 with MdU 91, and the rest of the nails images from Kelly Negree KN 33 with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Decided to add a few more flowers, so double stamped using same KN 33 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate on the lines.

Dotted all floral centers using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Bright Pink!

It doesn't happen often, but this is one of those times that I wish I hadn't have stamped these nails.  They turned out decent enough; however, they were so bright and then the stamping diminished them a bit.  Pretty, still, but the bright was stunning!

Started with a base of two coats of All Mixed Up Lacquers I Am The Confusion (June 2024 PPU), no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UberChic UC Isn't It Romantique

Stamped using UberChic UC Isn't It Romantique with Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

These nails still turned out nice, but the pink was so bright; I loved it!

Shells!

Another tropical mani with these shell nails!   I think this base is perfect for these nails as it looks like the beautiful blues of the ocean where you find shells!

Started with a base of Femme Fatale Floral Coral, HHC October 2022, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using B. 11 Summer Paradise using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

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

Welcome, Spring!

Spring officially arrived this morning at 5:01 am so I thought I'd share these spring nails!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen CSM Beatnik, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Polished for Days Fire Rainbow, no top coat.

The awesomeness that is Polished For Days Fire Rainbow.  This is one of my favourite polishes and I may have a couple back up bottles as I never want to risk running out!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from BeautyBigBang XL-023 with accent nail of Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

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

Waves!

I used to do these gradient type of nails all the time but I haven't done them in a while.  These nails are from 2021 and I'm not even sure I've done them since, although I'm not sure why as I think these are kinda cool!  Here's what I came up with!

Dixie Plates Textures and Patterns 02

Polishes used, starting at thumb and going clockwise, all Picture Polishes, Cosmos, Freya's Cats, Forget Me Not, Alice and Ariel, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Dixie Plates Textures and Patterns 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.
