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.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking!

Bright Floral Nails!

Another mani appropriate for spring!  Heck, I would wear this anytime of the year (and in fact was sporting this in January 2018!) but I am sharing now as spring has officially arrived!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats China Glaze I'll Pink to That, no top coat.

Stamped with MdU 65 using an image from FUN 26.

Decided to add a few dots for interest; dotted using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Bright Nails!

I did these out of character for me nails a couple days ago to match a fairly busy lemon/lime blouse I was wearing that had white, black and yellow accents.  Not sure if too over the top but I loved how these turned out anyway! Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Misslyn Lemon Green, two coats.  This was a perfect match for my blouse!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top before stamping.

I recently received the new FUN plates; this is FUN 26.  The image that first caught my eye was the first image on the second row on the left hand side so I knew I was going to use it.   

I thought the image from FUN 26 (shown on ring finger) would be too busy on all nails although originally I wanted to stamp only with it.  So I had the idea to do an assortment miss mash of images and see how it worked, so I went with it!  Plates used were FUN 26 (ring), Delaney Linges & Traits (pinky and index) and DRK A (middle and thumb).  I was kinda ticked at myself for having crooked lines on the index which can happen with a squishy stamper...and wouldn't you know it, it stamped straight as can be on Ms. Cindy. Grrr! I used MdU 2 for stamping polish and didn't do that great of a clean up job by the looks of it, so sorry!  But other stamping polishes didn't pick up that well for some images but MdU did the job!

 

Added a few yellow dots using CND Bicycle Yellow.

Then added a few white using Funky Fingers Gesso.

 

I didn't mind this, but then got the bright idea to add a few big yellow dots on ring; maybeeeee a bit over the top, but I loved how it looked anyway!  Then topped with KBShimmer to finish.

 

I really liked a few of these nails; the thumb, middle and ring are my faves and they gave me some mani inspiration for future manis!

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!
