Happy Birthday!

The one who made me a mom turned 30th last week and I did these birthday nails for him!  His current interest is playing darts so I did these dart themed nails; here's what I came up with!

Did a stamper smooshy base using lots of polishes.  Adding the shimmer was a good idea in theory as it adds lot of interest but such a pain in cleanup; it was everyyyyywhere!

These are the polishes used:  Pahlish 1989, KBShimmer Chill Out (Reflective), Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway, Essie Gel Couture Cut Loose, Noodles Nail Polish Long Time No Sea, Lacquer Is in the Air I'm Just a Kid (PPU June 2022), Sally Hansen CSM Writing on the Walls, Did I Blue That and Draw Blue in.  (whew!)

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After shrinking the dart board images, did stamper decals on the thumb and middle using MoYou London Games Collection-03; this plate was also used for the images on the pinky.  Then stamped using images from Maniology M458 (stars on background on index and pinky), MrFox-LB023 (words on index), MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 and 02 (cupcake and stars on ring), and UberChic UC mini:  Happy Birthday (numbers on index).  Stamping polishes are MdU 11, 13, and 91, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate.  Also used red and green Sally Hansen CSM polishes for stamper decals but didn't make note on them.

Added random stars on middle and thumb using MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 using MdU 11 for filler and interest.

After removing the hair that I seen on the index finger, topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Here was the cake my son had for his birthday, which was awesome!

My son really liked these nails so the time and effort they took was worth it (as they were time consuming lol).

Thanks for looking!

Happy 75th Birthday, Dad!

Today is my dad's 75th birthday, and it happens to have been the birthday of his favourite singer, Elvis, so I thought I'd do this Elvis themed mani in his honour!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  I had Nvr Enuff Afterglow sitting on my desk from a prior mani and decided to top the thumb nail with it for a little added glam and interest, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

MdU Elvis.  

Stamped using MdU Elvis (main thumb image, shrunken, pinky, ring and middle), 

and Delaney Musique 001 (index and notes on thumb), using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

After applying a thin coat of Apipilia no smear topcoat, topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Happy Birthday!

Today was my birthday and these were the nails that I wore all day!

Started with a stamper smoosh base using Pahlish ?, Sally Hansen Hard Drive Me Crazy, Essie All Fund & Games and Cupcake Polish White Pop.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Did a bunch of stamper decals using images from Sugar Bubbles SBS 28 (thumb, pinky, index), Maniology M458 (ring) and UC mini:  Happy Birthday (middle).  Did the outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, then used a whole lot of colours for the decals:  MdU 11, 65, 91, Different Dimension Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, Quo Sweep Lollipop, Quo Periwinkle Pop, and Sally Hansen Dockside Dreaming.  I didn't plan it very well in advance or I wouldn't have used so much green in the decals.  Also, all the effort in the smooshy stamper base and decals cover most of it.  I could have done an easy coat of a creme polish!  I like how the base looked; maybe for another mani some day.

Happy Birthday!!!

Today, my baby boy turns 23! These are the nails I did for his birthday last year but didn't get around to sharing!

MoYou London Festive 69.

Started with a base of two coats of Painted Polish Fingertip Fandom on a white blur base, no top coat.  With all these colours, it's like a party on your nails, which is just the look I was wanting!

Nailways Spring Time - Birthday Cake

I made a whole bunch of stamper decals; on the middle and ring, used MoYou London Festive 02, and on the pinky and index used MoYou London Festive 9.  The thumb is Nailways Spring Time-Birthday Cake shadow stamped.  Used MdU 80, 83, 91, Painted polish Midnight Mischief and Clear Jelly Stamper Relay Red as stamping polishes.

Added flames, which was first stamped with MdU 83, then shadow stamped a mixture of MdU 107 and MdU 9.

I added yellow dots to the stars on the middle finger and some colourful sprinkles to the cupcake on the ring for some added colour and interest, as well as accented the flames on thee candles just a bit more to look a little bit more interesting.

Added a few party streamers from the Nailways plate on the ring finger.

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

Happy Birthday, Turtlechick12!

Today is my nail pal, Turtlechick's birthday and I did these nails especially for her!  Hope you have a great day, Julie!  Julie is awesome; she is my US nail pal who gets polishes for me when shipping isn't possible to Canada; she has also overseen numerous nail plate group buys for not only me but probably hundreds of other gals, negotiating great deals for us stamping ladies, then working countless hours putting together the buys, receiving them and then reshipping the goods all over the world!  Thanks so much!

 Started with a base of two coats of Great Lakes Lacquer Never Gonna Give You Up, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I was going for the deep sea look, so added a coat of I Love Nail Polish Gaia.

Added some sea foliage; used images from MoYou Sailor 08 and 10.  Used assortment of MdU polishes.

 

Added a few more images from UberChic Party Time (thumb), MoYou Tourist Collection-17 (ring and index) and the two MoYou Sailor plates.  In total, the MdU polishes used were 11, 13, 46, 52, 59 and 66.
