Oodles of Hearts for Valentines!

This is about the most traditional Valentine's Day mani that I'll be sharing this year and it's not very traditional at all!  I had more traditional type of nails planned but just ran out of time to do them (and for some reason, thought Valentine's Day was later in the week!)  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of El Corazon Confetti 530, Painted Polish Stamped in Clay and OPI My Wish List Is You.  

I waited about half an hour before stamping in order to give the El Corazon time to dry.  Stamped using images from Konad 22 (pinky), Marianne Professional n.21 (thumb), Sugar Bubbles SB 032 (middle) and MJ JR 1 (ring and index).  Double stamped the hearts on the middle image.Used Girly Bits Fire Engine Red stamping polish and FunkyFingers Dark Knight.  Unfortunately, I could not get any clear stampers to pick up the image on the thumb, so had to resort to my regular go to semi squishy but didn't get it placed that well.

Konad Square 22

Marianne Professional n.21

Topped all fingers except middle and thumb with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Sorry for awkward hand pose but was trying to get right angle for the stamping on middle finger to be visible.  Hopefully it is clear enough!

New Year's Mani!

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

Stamped using Handy 57 (numbers on middle), MoYou Festive Collection-39 (words on middle), Nailsways Snowwhite-New Year (pinky), Chez Delaney Fete 004 (thumb), Fauxnad D (ring) and ZZ Dandelion (index).  Used FunkyFingers Dark Knight.

I did Ms. Cindy a little different.

Do you have plans for New Year's?  We pretty much stay in and watch tv.  Hopefully you are doing something more exciting!

Last of the Fall Nails!

I have been loving these fall mani's and could do oh so many more but with Halloween knocking at the door, it's time to post the last of the fall nails.  (One of my neighbours already has their Christmas lights up; I'm like, let's get over Halloween first buddy and then we'll think about Christmas!)  

Anyway, here's the last of my fall nails....unless I decide to throw one in after Halloween as I'm sure we'll still be in the middle of fall here at the rate the leaves are falling!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Butterscotch.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Delany Feuillages A001 on all fingers except thumb which is UberChic Lovely Leaves.  Stamping polishes were MdU 11 and 13, GirlyBits Fire Engine Red and Esmaltes Da Kelly Lili.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I got some new lighting and would love any feedback you have on these pictures.  Worse?  Better? Not colour accurate?  Too much glare?  Any feedback including the good, the bad or the ugly is greatly appreciated!  It's a work in progress but I am trying!

Cute Design on Short Nails!

Not too long ago, I cut down my nails as they interfere with life when they get too long plus a couple of my nails develop C curve that bugs me.....I actually like this length on me even though I do grow them out, then cut them down, then grow them out...I'm probably one of the rare bloggers that breaks don't really bother me as I just cut down the rest of them and live with them until they grow out again although some people get so disappointed or mad when they have a break.  I don't get it myself.  Just cut the rest of them and move on with life! But each to their own!  I know some gals like them a certain length or shape as that is what they are identified with but I'm not one of those bloggers that you see the nails always the same length (not sure if that is good or bad lol).  And because I post my nail art at random and not necessarily what I might be wearing currently (yes, I'm that blogger that still has nails from 2014 to share that are in archives!), you will see a variety of nail lengths at any given time.  Anyway, short nails give me the option to use those plate images that don't always fit on my nails when they are longer and also shows those with shorter nails that you can still do nail art regardless of the length!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (not shown), then stamped using images from Mezerdoo 38 using Girly Bits Fire Engine Red stamping polish.

Mezerdoo 38

Did a little stamping touch ups, then added a few black accent dots using different size of dotters for interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish (I think I added a bit too much top coat to middle finger; it did dry level but not the best in pix, sorry!)

Merry Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!  All the best to you and yours this holiday season!

For this mani, started with a base of two coats of L'Oreal Vert Absynthe, shown with no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from EJB-03 (pinky, ring and middle), Delaney Noel A002 (thumb), and Wistonia Jingle All The Way (middle).  Used FunkyFingers Gesso on middle; the rest of the light green polish is Moyra SP15.

Wistonia Jingle All The Way

Added dots to the berry and to decorate the tree using Girly Bits Fire Engine Red stamping polish and Funky Fingers Gesso.

Added more dots for filler and interest using same polishes.

Have a wonderful Christmas!!!

Let It Snow!

I feel with Christmas just a few short days away, I should be sharing Christmas nails, but nope, here I am sharing more snow mani's!  I guess all the white stuff we've been having has gotten to me! 

Started with a base of two coats of Glam Polish It's Now or Never; shown with no top coat.

Did a sponged gradient using these Glam's:  It's Now OR Never, Someday My Prince Will Come and Remember The Monsters?

Did a coat of KBShimmer before stamping.  Not the best pix as there is a whole lot of glitter and sparkle here but it was very cool IRL!

I made a stamper decal using MoYou Festive Collection 46.  I thought I would show the polish placement for the stamping.  The image wasn't that well thought out to me; if you wanted a black outline for the snowman, that means all the snowflakes dots are black!  Who wants that??  If you stamp in white to have white snowflake dots, then no outline for the snowman!  This was my attempt to correct the plate deficiency! Even with this, I had a couple black snowflake dots, I just removed them on the stamper and put in with a white dot.  

This is what my stamper decal turned out like.  So you can see the white dots and the black outline, then I filled it in with paints (not very well...I think I need a magnifying glass lol...but OK to visible eye!).  I added a little KBShimmer White Here White Now at the base of the snowman for some snow interest.

Applied stamper decal from MoYou Festive Collection-46 on thumb, then added images from Sugar Bubbles SBS08 (middle) using GirlyBits Sapphire stamping polish, MdU Christmas 1 (index), MJ XXXVIII (pinky) and MessyMansion MM30 (ring) using FunkyFingers Gesso.  I also double stamped on the middle finger with same image for the snow flakes as well as added random ones on ring and index.

Messy Mansion MM30.

Topped everything off with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does December; Day 4

Sorry I'm late with my day 4 post but life has gotten in the way of doing the post in a timely manner!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Girly Bits All The Jingle Ladies Black Friday 2016 which arrived in early December!  This was the mystery polish included with Black Friday orders and I put it on a day or two after my order arrived.

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top before stamping.

Stamped using an image from Ejiubas EJB-03 using Girly Bits White Wedding.  Also used the GB clear jelly stamper for placement.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Added a few dots of Essie Getting Groovy for some interest.  

This is Ms Cindy; I really like this colour scheme!  The base is two coats of Essie Go With The Flowy. Stamped using same images using Girly Bits Fire Engine Red, then added dots using Essie Getting Groovy.  

Here's the other ladies Day 4 mani's!
