Yet More Snowflakes!

I really like this mani but unfortunately, this is a big blogger fail for me; I didn't make note of all the polishes I used...in fact, none of the polishes I used, and only made not of the plate frorm the dots and no other ones.  **Edit, I found my notes, so updated the post!)

I did a purple stamper smooshy on three fingers and then did accent nails...I think they may be a Painted Polish microglitter but not sure. (The smooshy is Color Club Island Vibes, Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Color Club Peace Out Purple, Color Club Pucci-licious, Color Club Sex Symbol).  Accents are Color Club Island Vibes topped with Painted Polish Party Fowl...I was right about the microglitter lol!)

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped images using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  My notes say Creative Shop 112 but the only image that looks like it is from 112 is the snowflakes!  The trees are from Messy Mansion MM30. (The snowflakes are Creative Shop 42; rest are MM 30 as noted.)

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly to finish.

Pond Snowflakes!

It's been a hot minute since I posted a snowflake mani and I have quite a few still to share, so thought there's no time like the present!  This is yet another BlaFri sale purchase (IIRC the sale was a few days before BlaFri) but Zoya had a good promo and I took advantage of ordering a few of them too, including this sheer beauty that made me decide to do my first pond mani.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Juvia, topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Now to be honest, had I known that this polish was as sheer/jelly as it was, I wouldn't have bought it because I'm just not a fan of VNL on me.  But I already had it on and thought how can I make a purse out of a pigs ear with this mani.  So decided to go pond mani.

Stamped using image from Creative Shop 42 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added another coat of Zoya Juvia.  (If you have eagle eyes, you might see that the index mani stamping has changed.  This is because when I topped it with Juvia it smeared like no tomorrow.  So had to remove everything, polish, stamp, etc. so it is slightly different than the image above.)

Stamped again using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Creative Shop 42.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 I think this is OK but I also think I could have created the same mani just using blue base, light blue stamping and then white stamping.  But good use of a sheer polish anyway!

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Holo; Day 1

It's Digit-al Dozen week!  This month's theme is holo. Finally a challenge that isn't so much of a challenge as I wear holo on a pretty regular basis and can do any type of nail art as long as holo is involved in some way!  Thankfully this also means I don't have to research or google about the theme (yes, a lot of planning goes into manis sometimes!)!  As it's getting close to Christmas and because we have now transitioned from fall to winter, I'm pretty sure all my manis will be winter or holiday related.  Think.  Because this is the first posted mani and I'm not quite sure what the remaining posts will be.  Other than they are holo!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Colors by Llarowe Santa Baby with accent of CrowsToes Bunny Slope over OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.  CbL Santa Baby is pretty much Christmas in a bottle; the perfect hue of red (and holo!) for the season!   

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Creative Shop 42 (thumb), Marianne Nails Professional n.31 (middle and ring) and B. Loves B.10 Merry Christmas (pinky and index) using FunkyFingers Gesso.



B. Loves Plates B.10 Merry Christmas
