Swirls

Oh look!  Another another layered mani!  Big surprise unless you're new to the blog!  Here's what I came up with!

OPI Keeping Suzy At Bay, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with Lemming Lacquer I Blow Bubbles When You Are Not Near; one coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Emily de Molly EdM 06 using CjS stamping polish 080.

After topping with Girly Bits Glitter Glaze, topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Funny note:  I was a little bit aggressive with top coat, with a little bit too much on the index finger lol which gave that nail a bit of an odd shape!  

It was just a tad thick!

 Thanks for looking!

Galaxy Nails

I know a lot of people will have their eyes to the sky today for the April 8th solar eclipse and while I don't have eclipse nails to share, I do have galaxy nails that will have to do.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen CSM Dark Hue-Mor, two coats, no top coat.  And not very clean up by the looks of it.

Maniology MXM 121

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sponged Lemming Lacquer I Blue Bubbles When You Were Not Near and Pahlish Out of the Woods until I got the galaxy look I was going for.

Stamped images from Maniology MXM 121 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few more stamped images from same plate using Painted Polish Thirty & Flirty.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer to finish.

Added a coat of Essie Matte About You so the flakies pop!

Thanks for looking and be safe if you're watching the eclipse today!

 

Another St. Patrick's Day Mani

It's hard to put a spin on St. Patrick's Day mani's with limited images and plates.  To me, anyway.  Only so many ways you can spin a shamrock, leprechaun and rainbows lol.  Anyway, this mani is somewhat close to the first one I posted, mainly because I really liked the look of the shamrocks on the green cream base with the dots.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Lemming Lacquer Peryite with accent nails of Barielle Green With Envy and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Wet My Thistle, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover

Stamped using Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover and UberChic mini: St. Patrick's Day using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few dots using OPI Christmas Gone Plaid.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Thanks for looking!

 

Lemming Lacquer I'll Eat You Whole I Love You So

The weekend is fast approaching and it's so exciting that Indie Expo Canada 2018 is returning to Toronto!!! I can't wait to make more polishes on Saturday (here's the sign up sheet if you haven't signed up yet) and then look, touch and buy all the polishes on Sunday!!!! It's going to be a full day doing press for the event (will post on IG as day goes by so be sure to check out the posts) as well as being at the LynBDesigns table during the show, so please stop by and say hi!  This is a fabulous event; it is a wonderful opportunity to meet the face(s) behind the brands as well as see all the pretty polishes and other products before you buy them! So much fun; there's nail art tutorials and speakers during the weekend; it's also great to see polish friends and meet new ones! I hope to see you there!

I still have to decide what my nails will be wearing on the weekend, but in the meanwhile, here's a mani I was wearing last year.  Lemming Lacquer is a relatively new to me brand.  I had bought a few polishes last summer as the flakie lover in me wants to buy up all the flakies and even wore them back then, but haven't shared them yet. Which is a shame as I've really liked the polishes that I have wore so far.  Here's one from last summer when my order first arrived, Lemming Lacquer I'll Eat You Whole I Love You So.  

Started with a base of three coats of Lemming Lacquer I'll Eat You Whole, I Love You So, no top coat.

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from Kelly Negri KN31 using MdU 1.  

Decided it needed a little something else like a burst of colour; added Contrary Polish Flames dots in various sizes for filler, colour and interest.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Have a great weekend and thanks for looking!
