Blue Shells

We are starting to have some really cool temperatures for the next four days, particularly the evening hours that are expected to dip to -21 C/-6 F.  It might not be the coolest temperatures on earth, but cold, especially for our area, none the less.  So there's no better time to share these nails that would be reminiscent of warmer days; or nails that could be worn to a nice Caribbean vacation, if one was travelling during these times.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a coat of Essie I'm Addicted, then topped with Polished for Days Catch Ya Later, Dudes, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using FUN 25 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Not an overly complicated or difficult mani to do, but sometimes the best mani's are the simple ones!

Thanks for looking and stay warm out there!

PS I forgot that I also added a matte topcoat to the nails too!  Although the flakies came to life without the matte top coat anyway!!

Colourful Bursts!

I'm not sure if this is really cool or a hot mess!  It's somewhat of a fail to me as it wasn't what I had planned in my mind but sometimes those manis are better than planned but in this case, I'm not so sure.  I know part of the fail in my mind about this mani is I was looking for a brighter pop of colour and these seem more muted than what I had in my mind.  

Started with a whole lot of Dam Polishes; Yowza Yellow, Blaming Blue, Ouchie Orange, Rock em Red and Pow! Pow! Purple.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Topped with Darling Diva The One That You Love, or a little bit more glitter. (In hindsight, this topper may have dulled some of the bright colours.)

I had planned on using an image from Moyra 115 but thought it would cover too much of the base so went with FUN 25 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Hot Pink Owls!

I was sorting through my image plates and came across these super cute owls and thought, they need to go on my nails stat!  So I set the plate aside to use for one of those days when I don't have time to sort through plates to find an image and that was not too long ago.  So here are those super cute owls on my nails now!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of Color Club polishes Warhol, Modern Pink, Beach, Please! and All that Razz, no top coat.  One of my polishes apparently has a little DYI fluid it it, as you might notice on the thumb and middle finger! 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using FUN 25 (pinky and index) and FUN 26 on the rest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

I thought the hearts on the owl image were a little too cutesy so decided to do a few dots in different sizes.

I'm sorry I'm late with this day 5 post; just was too busy to get it posted!  I love how this turned out; I love the simplicity of it, but it looks just so elegant!  This is my final day mani for the Digit-al Dozen white challenge!

Started with a base of two coats of Superficially Colorful Stealing Your Thunder, topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top.  Stealing Your Thunder was included in the Indie Expo Canada 2017 VIP bag.

Stamped with an image from FUN 25 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Fiendish Fancies You're Hysterical Henry!

July 31st and summer has finally arrived here in Southern Ontario!  Well, it's been nice for a couple days now and we've had some nice weather the odd day here and there, but really, it hasn't been the best summer weather wise.  But today is beau-ti-ful!! 

How about some hot nails for a hot summer day?  This is a new to me brand, Fiendish Fancies, that was at Indie Expo Canada and I couldn't resist picking up this hot pink loaded with shimmer, You're Hysterical Henry!

Started with a base of two coats of Fiendish Fancies You're Hysterical Henry.  There were no application issues and clean up was a breeze!

Top coated.

Stamped using an image from FUN 25 using FunkyFingers Gesso.
