Blue Lagoon

These nails remind me of the tranquil blue waters of the Caribbean.  Even thought it's summer here in Canada and we have warm weather, warm water and even stunning blue waters in some lakes, I still long to swim in the Caribbean, especially snorkeling while looking at the vibrant fish and hoping to see turtles! 

Started with a base of OPI NFTease Me, two coats over a base of Cupcake White Pop, no top coat.

Topped with one thin coat Ribbits Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.  I love the vibrant blue flakies!  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped with image from Hit the Bottle To Boldly Go 01 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Added dots for interest and filler with OPI My Pal Joey and MoYou Dream Holiday.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Round and Round

It's #MusicManiMonday and here's another circle mani.  Circles are round; the tribute song is Round and Round by Ratt.  I can remember this song playing on Good Rockin' Tonite when which was hosted by Terry David Mulligan back in the day.  I watched it faithfully every Friday night for a lot of years.  I'm sure this ages me but such is life; it happened lol. 

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Music is My Muse.  Such a nice colour but not a great formula.  

Had to topcoat is to cover the patches, so topped with Fancy Gloss Let's Be Friends (PPU April 2021).

Sunlight outside and the flakies be popping still!

Sand Dial

The image on these nails reminds me of sand dials.  The only sand dial that I've used is with a few games as times.  These sand dials are a good image as they are interesting, yet allow the base to shine through.  What I love in a stamping image!  And for a polish, nothing better than blue and flakies.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension If You Don't Like Something, Change it.  POTM April 2019.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped with image from Moyra 118 - Dream On, using MdU 112

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I really miss Different Dimension; I hope Missi is doing well.  I was thinking not too long ago that someone should do a 'Where Are they Now' segment on all the brands that are no longer active.  Girly Bits, llarowe, CrowsToes, Contrary Polish, Cult Nails, Daring Digits, Darling Diva, Ellagee, Nvrmind, Indigo Bananas, just to name a few.  I'm sure there's more; I'm not buying as much polish nowadays as I did 5 or 7 years ago and try to stay off social media so not to be tempted, but I'm hoping that they are all doing OK.

The Chains!

Raise your hand if you have an Amazon playlist? ✋ I don't know how popular they are but I know for me, I really appreciate having it because there is nothing better than having all your favourite songs in one place, that you can play on repeat!  Love it!  It's on frequent play when I'm doing my nails.  And do you know what my number 1 spot song is?   Drumrolllll:  The Chains by Fleetwood Mac.  Love it!  So these nails for #MusicManiMonday are inspired by my #1 spot song on my playlist.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Maren, no top coat.

While stun-ning, one of my favourite things to do is layer polishes, so added a coat of Glam Polish Part of Your World, no top coat.  Stun-ning-er lol!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Infinity 157 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Topped with another coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

The next day, added a coat of Essie Matte About You to show off the flakies.

Outdoor, overcast skies makes flakies POP, so here are a couple pix outside to show them off!

 Do you prefer glossy or matte?  Please let me know in the comments!

Lovely Lilac Daisies!

I haven't had nails this long in so long; I look at them and they don't even look like my nails!  I find that I can't wear long nails anymore; they get in the way of doing too many things, even though longer nails give an awesome stamping art canvas!

Started with a base of two coats of Stella Chroma Recreational Chemistry, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Summer Brights!

Look at this, sharing another neon mani!  Bright nails in the summer are always in style...in my opinion anyway!  

Started with a base of two coats of Girly Bits Hooperchondriac on a base of Cupcake White Pop.

Topped with Pahlish Brat, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Mash-43

Stamped using image from Mash-43 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  This is the great thing about having short nails sometimes; you can use the stamping plates that don't have big images on your short nails!  Well, to be honest, this is a thing of the past with the size reducing/enlargening stampers, but still!!??!

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
