JAWS for Shark Week!

I watched the 50 year anniversary documentary on Jaws, which was really interesting!  Lots of background on what went into the making of it with great interviews with Steven Spielberg, Emily Blunt, George Lucas, and so many others.  Around the same time, I seen all the commercials for Shark Week, which started yesterday, so I thought it would be a great time to do a Jaws theme mani.  I also decided that I was going to do a new series to basically challenge myself to do some more interesting manis as I need some mani inspiration!  So I'm going to do Music Mani Monday's, and pair music with the mani.  For this first Music Mani Monday mani, who can forget the famous Jaws music!  Da-dum. Da-dum. Da-dum da-dum da-dum da-dum daaaaaaaa.  If you want to see the nails with the music, check them out on my IG page!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen Did I Blue That? and Lakur Silver Birch.  I know the coverage wasn't the best but I knew I'd be doing a gradient and hoped it would cover it.  Which wasn't the best but I'll know for next time!

UberChic Seas the Day

MdU Jaws

MoYou London Jaws Collection-01

KADS Ocean 009

MrFox LB018

Did a sponged gradient using Sally Hansen Did I Blue That?, Sally Hansen Dockside Dreaming and Sally Hansen Draw Blue in, no top coat.  I forgot that I was taking pix to share this mani as occasionally I paint my nails just to wear them plain and haven't been taking pix, so there's some stamping here but I'll share plate info below with the rest of them.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Used Kads Ocean 009 (pinky), UberChic Seas the Day (thumb), Mr. Fox LB018 (middle fin and on index), MdU Jaws (ring) and MoYou London Jaws Collection-01 (words on middle).  Stamping polishes are red Konad special polish and Painted Polish  Midnight Mischief.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Spirals!

I've been trying not to post blue or floral nails and looks like I'm going to fail with that personal challenge!  But I think these have enough colour and interest in the stamped image that I can forgive myself lol!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI Duomo Days, Isola Nights (not shown), then topped with Nvr Enuff Polish Alchemy, no top coat.  I'm not sure what happened to Nv Enuff Polish but they certainly had a lot of pretty polishes and I'm happy to have them in my stash!

Topped with Fancy Gloss Crushed Sapphire, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a stamped gradient using MdU 91, Mdu 39 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate, using image from Big SdP A-2.

Big SdP A-2.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Just before taking it off, I added a coat of Essie Matte About You and I have to say, I really like how all the flakies pop with matte.  I wish I had have worn it for another day matte, but too much polish and plates and the urge to change my nails!

Thanks for looking!

 

Colourful Skittles

I found it quite amusing that I did these nails last year and they are almost the same exact polishes that I used for my Pride themed nails shared on June 1, 2025 that I did this year.  I guess I'm consistent in what I like to put on my nails lol!  I had planned on sharing these for Pride month, but didn't have time.  Here's what I came up with!

Polished are all Glam Polish; from thumb going clockwise:  Fin-tastic!, Such A Catch, Oh Buoy!, The Boss Beach and Crest City.  All two coats on white blur base.

Stamped using Painted Polish Blanc Slate using Apipila P.39.

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

Checking ack, the polishes are slightly different, but pretty close.  Three of the five polishes were duplicated.  Thanks for looking!

Blue Daisies!

If you've been here for a while, you'll know that for the last couple of years I've been struggling with one nail issue or another.  But it hasn't stopped me from doing my nails and this was one of those times that I still did them and loved how they turned out, even though they may not look follower friendly or Instagram perfect, but I'm sharing them anyway.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Orly De-stressed and accent nails of Pretty Beauty Unlimited Candy Floss (PPU February 2018).

Topped the Orly using DRK In Living Color.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped plaid using MoYou London Care Bears Unlock the Magic 07 using MdU 01.

Added flowers using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Dotted daisy centers with Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit and Edm Navy Blue.

Added more dots using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.  The thumb also has a coat of Painted Polish 2019. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

CjS H-113

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-257 for all images except the word Happy and the heart, which is from CjS H-113, using MdU 11 and Konad Red and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Did Ms. Cindy slightly different but still cool using same plates and polishes.

Happy Canada Day!
