Moo Moo Signatures Mission Impossible in Toronto

Baby, it's cold outside!  A chilly day with -22F temps that just chills you to the bone!  Try to stay warm if you are in this deep freeze!  This is the mani I was wearing this summer right after Indie Expo Canada 2017 when it was much nicer weather!  We were probably complaining then it was too hot lol! Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Moo Moo Signatures Mission Impossible in Toronto.  Mei Mei was good enough to gift this polish to me as the hubs and I manned the Moo Moo Signatures booth at Indie Expo Canada if you remember from my post here.  This was an event exclusive.

Topped with top coat.

Stamped with an image from FUN 16 using MdU 52.

Added a few dots, then finished with a final coat of top coat.

Please try to stay warm if you are experiencing this deep freeze.  And if you're not, send your warm thoughts to us who are!

Digit-al Dozen Does Whimsy; Day 2

For Day 2 of Digit-al Dozen whimsy week, I did what I thought would be a whimsical activity like kite flying thinking of the wind blowing and the kite dancing all around in the wind!

Started with a base of two coats of Kiara Sky The Real Teal, no top coat (no pix as I did these nails quickly before work this morning!)  Sponged on Kiara Sky Skies The Limit and Angelacq Lacquer Spectrum Blue.  

Top coated with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

I placed an image from FUN 16 for base interest as well as the representation of the wind swirling around. Used MoYou London Dusty Cloud stamping polish.



Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before adding final stamping.

Stamped another image from FUN 16 using FunkyFingers Dark Knight.  Hand drew in the kite line to connect the fingers.  Also hand filled in some voids on the thumb.

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush to finish.



Here's the other ladies Day 2 whimsy mani's!

Purple Might Be My New Favourite Color

I was looking through my archived mani's and noticed that I've been wearing a lot of purple.  A LOT.  Like, it might be overtaking my love of blue. This is a simple mani I did back in November; even though it's simple, I did like how it turned out.

Started with a base of three coats of Nubar Romance. The accent nail is two coats of Colors by llarowe The Good Old Days; this is shown with top coat. 

Stamped all fingers using MdU 14 using MJ XII; the accent nail is FUN 16.

Finished with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

Hopefully I have enough mani's to mix things up or I might be sharing purple for a while lol!

Thanks for looking!

P.S.  Ironically, as I type this post, I have (you guessed it) purple on my nails.  I'll share it next time!

The Lazy Days of Summer Are Over!

Today was back to high school for my youngest son and thousands of others; I thought instead of doing a more traditional back to school mani that I'd do a kids at play and the end of summer fun kind of mani instead.  But if the truth be known, if my son is any indication of today's youth, he spent a good portion of the summer either on the computer or playing video games versus outside at play like these kids! This is probably more typical of kids in my day when we were outside from morning to dusk! 

Started with a base of one coat of Chaos & Crocodiles Unicorn Symphony, no top coat.

Did a sponged gradient using Colors by Llarowe That Bloo is Mine and Chaos and Crocodiles City in the Clouds and Unicorn Symphony.

I loved how this gradient turned out!  If it wasn't so down to the wire that I did these last night and wanted to post for first day of school today, I would have done a nautical mani for sure!  Next time!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top before stamping.

Stamped using images from FUN 16 and Pet'la LE Silhouette.  It was an afterthought to do the tree images on the middle and ring but I think it is so cool how split between the fingers!  Stamping polish is Funky Fingers Dark Knight. 

FUN 16

Filled in some black voids with brush and polish as well as did kite string (and didn't line it up very well from thumb to index....that kite isn't going any place lol!).  But it looks like the kinds on the index are manning the kite and the kids on the thumb somewhat look like they are fishing.  I'll go with it!

Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I like this pix simply because it looks like the kids are playing at night and the stars are twinkling in the night sky in the back ground.  But of course, children should be home this late at night! 

I thought the stamping would show up a little better without glare and gloss so used a coat of OPI matte to finish it off.

Sorry for the mess of my nails; I cringe looking at them but still like to do my nails anyway!
