Waves

I love to watch the waves in the ocean and take a lot of pictures of the waves coming in, rolling and then crashing to the beach.  Really, anything to do with water, I'm in.  I did a day trip to specifically to Nazare (IYKYK) when I did a European cruise a few years ago as I really wanted to see the 50, 60, 70 or even 80+ feet high waves and although they were large, they weren't the monster waves I was looking for but we still seen lots of waves and the coast line was still stunning.  Apparently they were the really big waves the day before we visited but it is one of those things onthat you have to be at the right place at the right time.  I do hope to return someone and see them.  In the meanwhile, these waves will have to do!

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuasion, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Stella Chroma Ghost, PPU September 2022.  Layering Ghost was the right call; it added a lot of umph to the base!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Marianne Nails n. 53 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Moyra SP 19, and Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle, no top coat.

Sailing Away!

I'm on a cruise right now, soaking up the sun, lounging by the pool, snorkeling and swimming in the ocean and enjoying all the buffets!  Cruise calories don't count!  Actually, the last few cruises I've been on, I actually lost weight!  I think from all the walking, getting in over 20,000 steps a day, eating all the fruits, etc.  Anyway, the next few posts are going to be fun in the sun and water mani's that I didn't do specifically for this vacation, but rather, random mani's here and there that I've done over the years and not year shared but are appropriate for the theme.  Thanks for looking!

One Little Fiber

One little fiber wrecked this mani.  It's too bad I didn't notice it earlier and could have removed it before I took all the pictures for these nails, but it is what it is. 

Started with a base of Cupcake Polish Suitor on a Scooter, two coats, no top coat.  I love this holo; it is a great shade of blue; not too dark, not too light and has oodles of holo in it!  Holo all the days!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Moyra 21-Retro, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

I Bought This Stamping Plate For This Specific Image

I bought this MoYou London stamping plate specifically for this image as I thought it was one of those interesting images that allows the beauty of the base shine through.  And it does exactly this when I used it first in this mani; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Sizzlin Shades Supernova, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
