Blue Spring Nails!

We finally have a little warmer weather here in Southern Ontario!  I just seen a robin a couple weeks ago and soon, we will be seeing all the spring flowers in bloom!  I did this mani with spring in mind!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Scofflaw Was That A Magic Mushroom?, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I made a bunch of stamper decals to apply.

Snall nails problems!

Solved after trimming down with acetone and brush!  Images are from Creative Shop 122 (thumb and middle), Creative Shop 61 (index), Creative Shop 27 (ring) and MoYou Pro-12 (pinky).  I didn't keep track of which polishes I used to fill in the flowers but the thumb is Pahlish Doppio Espresso which I think is the perfect shade!  I do love that thumb image; I have visions of an entire mani based upon that image some day!

Love!

Hope you are enjoying spring!

When Stamping Wrecks The Mani!

There aren't too many manis that I don't stamp and of those that I do, I like most of them.  Unfortunately this was one mani that I wasn't thrilled with the stamping and in hindsight, wished I had have just left the base polish on it's own!  But the good thing about doing your nails is that with just a bit of acetone and a cotton ball, you have a brand new slate!  I still wore these nails for 24 hours as they weren't so bad that I couldn't stand to have them on my nails, its just I know I've done better manis.  And I do love the base polish!  Love, Love! The poor choice of stamping shouldn't be reflective of the base!   But good or bad, I share them all so here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of 6 Harts Mojave Jewel, no top coat.  This was part of the January 2018 Polish Pickup and I'm glad I picked it up!

Here's where it goes downhill....stamped using an image from Creative Shop 27 using MdU 1, 73 and 78.  I think there's two issues here; one the dark polish doesn't seem to go with the nails and the other is isn't not faded good enough.   I do like the look of the MdU 78 with the base and maybe it would have been wiser to do a more tone on tone look.  Or even a gradient with just the white and turquoise coloured stamping polish (MdU 78 Glass).  I like the image; it was a good choice to let the base polish shine through, just wrong choice of stamping polishes.

Digit-al Dozen Does Paper; Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week; this month's theme is paper...which was hard, as normal!  This is what I came up with for Day 1...handwriting.  (I've taken some creative liberty here as you can see, but it suppose to be writing on paper!)

Started with a base of two coats of Colors by llarowe Can We Have Trudeau?, no top coat.  This was one of several cbl LE's available at the Indie Expo Canada that I attended a little over a week ago...a post will be coming soon!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Creative Shop 27 using Funky Fingers white...except on the thumb; I made a stamper decal and filled in the flower with Hit the Bottle As Good as Gold.
