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.

Valentines Hearts!

I did these nails last year and as you can see, my nails were really,  really short as they were just starting to grow out.  It didn't stop me from doing my nails though and I have oodles of archived mani's to share when they were this short, which I hope is also inspiration for those who have short nails.

Started with a coat of Cuticula Never Sleep Again (June 2024 PPU Rewind) on top of two coats of L'Oreal Rouge Amour, no top coat.  Ohhh, my nails looks so rough here.  Going out on a limb sharing them but not everyone has perfect nails all the time and I think it's important to share everyday life as not everyone has manicured nails all the time as well as the fact that nail art can be done on short nails too!

It's also #MusicManiMonday, and as Valentine's is all about love, music is Love Me Do by the Beatles!

Stars for #MusicManiMonday

One day not too long ago, I was driving around doing errands and heard Coldplay's A Sky Full of Stars, so later that night when I sat down to do my nails, I decided to do a star themed mani for #MusicManiMonday.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Painted Polish Sweet & Serene, no top coat.

Welcome, Summer!

Welcome, Summer!  Summer has officially arrived and nothing screams summer like flowers in bloom so I'm sharing these floral nails!

Started with a base of two coats of Pahlish This Room Is A Mess! Classic Mom mystery batch.  No top coat.

Stamped plaid with image from Creative Shop 182 Basic with MdU 91.

Added flowers from Lina 4 Seasons Spring-02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Added floral centers using MdU 80.

After a day or so, added a coat of Essie Matte About You.  I really liked the look of the matte version, too.

Have a wonderful summer!

 

Simple and Sweet!

 

This is a simple mani that is everything I love about nail stamping; an interesting image that shows the beauty of the polish underneath.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Potion Polish Autumn Drive, no top coat.

My nails haven't looked like this for so long that I see these pictures and thing, whose nails are these!  I hope they look something like this soon!

Snowflakes!

Yet another snowflake mani but this time, it is on this STUN-NING base!  Not that they aren't all stunning, but this one is just a little extra, to me anyway.  So, so pretty; I can't wait to wear it again!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Sassy Sauce I'm in Heaven (Little Box of Horrors April 2024) on Polished for Days Peach Soft Focus, no top coat.

Stamped using Creative Shop 112, with accent nails of Creative Shop 23S using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Another Galaxy!

These rings remind me of galaxy nails, although not the typical milky way type of galaxy nails that are so popular.  Nevertheless, I liked how they turned out 

Started with a base of one coat of Essie License to Thrill, no top coat.

Topped with Rogue Lacquer Knowledge Reclaimed (PPU August 2023), no top coat.
