Abstract Nails

Abstract isn't my jam; however, every once in a while, I do an abstract design and it always surprises me that I like it more than I thought I would.  Including this time; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Knowledge is Flower and Desert Reign; both two coats, no top coat.

Topped Desert Reign with Pahlish The Archer, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Born Pretty Artist L014 (middle and ring), Nicole Diary-267 (thumb) and Maniology M285 using Painted Polish Stamped in Lilac on all nails, but also used Painted Polish Thirty & Flirty on thumb.  

Hit The Bottle Easily Abstract 01

Maniology M285

Stamped all nails using Painted Polish Blanc Slate with images from Hit The Bottle Easily Abstract 01.  

Added a few dots using Painted Polish Blanc Slate for interest and filler.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Thanks for looking!

Dandelions

My granddaughter says, look at all the flowers, Grandma!  However, those flowers are really dandelions that are in abundance right now, at least on my lawn.  So I thought these nails were appropriate, even though the flowers aren't yellow!

Started with a base of BKind Les Hamptons, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After waiting for about half an hour for it to dry, did a gradient using the base polish, Essie Walking the Walk and Quo Stormy Night.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Nicole Diary L20 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 This mani is also doing double duty for #MusicManiMonday; Dandelions by Ruth B.

Daisies!

Another variation of my favourite nail design with daisies!  All the daisies on my nails!  The great thing is that there are so many stamping plates that have daisies that with some different polishes and different stamping plates, you can change up the look and create something different than the last time.  I should create a new label of daisies, as I have so many daisy nails!  Anyway, here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Color Club Spell It Out with accent nails of Morgan Taylor Take Me To Your Tribe, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

KADS Ocean 017

Stamped lines using KADS Ocean 017 using MdU 91.

Stamped daisies with image from CjS V-37 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added dots using BKind B-a-n-a-n-a-s.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Stay tuned for more daisy (or floral) nails; you know at some time, I'll be sharing more!

Thanks for looking!

Sparkly Blue Nails

I wore this combination a couple months ago and I have to say, this was one of those times that I think the nails looked better before stamping.  They still turned out good but the polish base colour, with the sparkles was just *chef's kiss!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Push Play, no top coat.

Topped with Bees Knees Lacquer The Crone, one light coat, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I have to say this is absolutely stunning, even if the pictures do not do it justice!  Love the look of this; my nails sparkled so much; I could wear this combination on repeat!

Stamped with image from Creative Shop 11 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  This covered more of the base polish than I wanted but the nails were still pretty.

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