Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!  Hopefully, you've are having a wonderful holiday season!

One night when I sat down to do my nails, I spent so much time looking through my Christmas plates, that it was the wee hours of the morning and my nails were still bare.  So I quickly did these, but I do have to say, they are one of my favourites of the season!  Started with a base of Sally Hansen CSM Cherry Delight, topped with two coats of Colores de Carol XOXO, Chance 173 topped with two coats of Fancy Gloss Clover and Cupcake White Blur topped with one thin coat of Fancy Gloss Tinsel Garland.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines from Wistonia Jingle All the Way using Painted Polish Blanc Slate,

Stamped thumb using image from MdU 2 Christmas 2.

Shadow stamped thumb using Moyra SP 02.  Can I just say I can't get over the thumb polish!?!  Perfect for Christmas....I want to use this look over and over again!

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Using this mani for #Music Mani Monday, too! 

Thanks for looking!

Perseid Meteor Showers

I did these nails in anticipation of the Perseid Meteor Showers today into tomorrow early morning hours; however, as I type this post, it is storming with thunder, lightning and rain, with the forecast calling for showers until 5 am, so the chances of seeing them tonight is dwindling.  But at least I can look at the meteor showers on my nails!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of lots of polishes; this was the result.  Polishes used are Zoya Juvia, Penelope Luz Forbidden Love, Penelope Luz Nymphs, Phoenix Klaus, Chance 093, Morgan Taylor Deja Blue, Morgan Taylor Totally Betty and China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Maniology M535 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.  If you check the image on the plate, you will see that I stamped it sideways to mimic the showers.

Maniology M535

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

This was Ms. Cindy; did two coats of China Glaze Blue Rasperry Ice topped with Ribbits Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark.

Stamped with same image from Maniology M535 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

I'm going to check for the meteor showers periodically before I go to bed and if by chance I don't see any, I'm sure there will be lots of images on the web to see from those who were lucky enough to see them!

St Patrick’s Nails!

Here's one of the St. Patrick's Day mani's I did this year.  I think they turned out pretty cool and hope they inspire anyone with very short nails. 

Used Painted Polish Celtic Crelly (ring), Chance 080 (thumb), DND 2521 (ring, middle and pinky) and topped Shleee Polish Fauna on top of the index and ring fingers.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover on pinky and ring using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish on the middle using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey, BeautyBigBang XL-067 on thumb using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and lately, CjS H-50 on middle using MdU 80, What's Up Nails The Other Side and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

These nails were done less than a week ago; as you can see they are just growing out, which is why I haven't done more than a couple St. Patrick's Day nails.  Buttttt, a day or so ago, I noticed what looked like a little free edge so clipped one nail down even more so no more mani's for a few days.

Thanks for looking! 

Fall Leaves!

We have more seasonal daytime temperatures now and the nights are really dipping, so there will be lots of fall colour soon.  My favourite time of year; can't wait to see more leaves changing!  Here's another fall mani that I did not too long ago!

Polishes used, starting at the thumb and going clockwise:  Painted Polish Cobra Clarity, Girly Bits Butternut Leave Me Alone, Etheral Lacquer Viper, Chance Nail Lacquer 303, and Cirque Urbanized.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318 using MdU 9, 13, 106 and 107, outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Accent nail is Lina 4 Seasons Autumn 03 with same polishes.

I thought the thumb looked a little bare when the leaves on all leaves were outlined but not on the thumb, so handpainted an outlined them with polish and brush, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

St. Patrick's Nails

Another St. Patrick's mani with some double stamped shamrocks, although not that well!  Haha!  But they look good from a distance!

Polishes used, starting at thumb and going clockwise, are Chance Nail Lacquer 79, Chance Nail Lacquer 80, Pretty & Polished If Hyruled the Work, Lollipop Posse Lacquer Justice and Essie Willow on the Wind.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Uber Chic UC mini: St. Patrick's Day on thumb, and MoYou London Festive 75 on the rest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Used MdU 39 on all fingers but thumb for some double stamping.

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