St. Paddy's Day Mani

This is a St. Paddy's mani's that I did recently.



Started with a base of Sinful Colors Envy.



Added a coat of L.A. Girls Glitter Addict Purge.



Then Spoiled Show me the Money.



Stamped with white Konad special polish using Lilic A02 and SdP 29...didn't do too good of a job centering that accent stamp I see!



Then I added a couple of the small shamrocks from A02 to the bare spots along the edge on my thumb and one of the larger ones above the horseshoe.



Here's a close up...hopefully you can see the layering of the glitter.



I have to thank bostonmerlin10 for this layinging combo...her combination was China Glaze Emerald Sparkled, then Jordana Green Glitz topped with Sinful Call You Later. I slightly changed it up with what I had in my stash, but wouldn't have thought of the combo without seeing her mani first, so thanks!

Just for fun, before I took it off, added a coat of Essie Matte About You.



Hope you're having a great weekend....oh, and before I forget, I want to mention that I'll soon be announcing an upcoming giveaway...details will be posted soon!

Thanks for looking!

Family Day Mani...for Family Day!

Today is Family Day in Ontario...aka...an excuse for a long weekend in February! I thought I'd do a mani about my family; this is what I came up with!



I'm on the thumb...a coffee loving, card playing, nail fanatic!

Next is DH. He loves the Toronto Maple Leafs, playing cards...and eating! That cupcake was suppose to be on my nail as I'm the baker and I had another food image for his nail...just not enough room!

Middle finger is DS1. No, he's not a closet Jason! lol! That's a goalie mask as DS is a goalie for lacrosse....right now, he's playing for a JrA lacrosse team in our area...is was also on Team Ontario, who won the National Championship this past summer for his age group...ya, he lives, eats and breathes lacrosse! He's also a big gamer....but I chose to add a pair of earphones as, typical of most teens...at least any I know of, he has a wire hanging out of at least one of his ears from his ipod most of the time.

Ring finger is DD...the butterfly is for Ms. Social Butterfly...also a makeup loving, shop 'til she drops teen...who has a massive sweet tooth, hence the candy! Too bad that I mumble stamped all these together...she's also loves to sing and dance...I had stamps set aside for her nail for this too...just not enough space on my little nails.

Pinky is DS2...a massive gamer too, hence Pikachu! In addition to gaming (when he's not eating, sleeping or breathing), he also likes to swim as well play with his pal Spike...who's right on the tip of the nail!



Base colours, two coats, starting at thumb, are Duri Taming of the Shrew, SpaRitual Circle of Life, China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise (3 coats), CND Sweet (this could be a one coater but I did two), and LA Girl Disco Brites Psychedelic (3 coats).



Stamped using white Konad special polish using unnamed/unmarked fauxnad for coffee, fauxnad m56 (leaf), NailArt Diva WBO8-4 (mask and hockey stick), Lilic A02 (shoe), CH17 (lipstick), CH6 (candy), Lilic A01 (cupcake), SdP 57 (nail polish bottle and butterfly) and m48(cards), CH27 (headphones), and XXL Big SdP-01(doggy).

Added a few hearts and stars by isolating them from the full size plate images on KD3.


Lastly, added a few random dots and topped with SV.



Hope you had a good weekend...its going to be tough going back after three days off though!

Thanks for looking!

Another Valentine's Mani

Are you sick of them yet? lol!



Started with a base of Duri Taming of the Shrew. Seems to be my go-to red base of late.



Added a coat of Essie Ruby Slippers for accent nail.



Stamped! Used white Konad special polish using SdP D04 on thumb, Big SdP I on index, Lilic A02 on middle, CH29 on ring finger and QA18 on pinky. Also added a couple isolated hearts from the QA18 plate over top of the cute couple.



I received these Lilic A01 and A02 plates earlier in the week...aren't they cute?





Finished the mani by topping with SV.
