Happy Labour Day!

Happy Labour Day!  It was a long weekend here in Canada and the last long weekend before school starts tomorrow!  I'm home now from being in the Kawartha's for the weekend and my nails are a sampling of what I did this weekend:  did some swimming, had a campfire, watched an awesome fireworks display, played cards and ate lots of barbecued food!  And to top it all off, we had beautiful sunny, warm weather as well!

Started with a base of American Apparel The Valley (blue) with accents of Arcane Lacquer Holo Halo (no pix).  Then sponged Holo Halo with Picture Polish Winter, Barry M Grey and Funky Fingers Dark Knight.



On American Apparel The Valley, I sponged American Apparel Lazuli, American Apparel Crescent Heights, Funky Fingers Gesso and NYC Skyline Blue.





Topped everything off with Girly  Bits What A Rush QD TC.



Made assortment of decals using various plates and acrylic paints.



BP-L017





Applied the stamper decals.  The images are from Chez Delaney Marin 001 (sun on index), ZZ Games (cards on pinky), Wistonia Summer Cookout (BBQ on ring), BP-L017 (bikini on index), Lilic's A09 (campfire on middle) and Chez Fete 001 (fireworks on thumb).



Painted hot dogs on using MdU 51, then stamped on Labour Day onto thumb using CNF 002 with Fig Tree Stamps.



Using the same image from Lilic's A09, individually stamped on the stars on the middle (that would be 9 times!) using MdU 11, as well as added a few other stars on the rest of the nails as accent.




Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.



Decided to top with Girly Bits Polish Matte'rs so you can see design a little better (hopefully!)



It was a great long weekend; hopefully you had a great weekend too; thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Spooky Days; Day 5

Happy Halloween!  Tonight is the night for all the ghosts and goblins to go trick or treating; I thought I'd do a Halloween mani along those lines for Day 5 of Digit-al Dozen Spooky Days; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (white), FingerPaints Black Expressionism (black) and Sally Hansen Insta-dri Pumpkin Queen (orange).  Added topcoat.  No pix as all colours have been shown before and this post is going to be picture heavy as it is!

Stamped using assortment of images from MoYou Landscape Collection-06 (thumb), Lilic's A09 (middle ghost), Infinity 35 (middle mummy), HD-H (pinky and pumpkin on ring), HD-C (trick or treat on ring) and HD-G (index).  Stamping polishes used were Konad black and Mundoe de Unas 11 and 28.

Added a few bats and the moon from BFF 07 and did some touch ups on ring finger of the stamping on the trick or treat words (the words blobbed more than I'd like; not sure if its from deep etching or the Mundo polish smearing).

Added a few dots for filler and colour interest.

Top coated to finish.  I had thought about doing a black jelly wash over the thumb to mimic night time but didn't want to wreck it; I might try it before I take it off just to see how it looks.  But for now, this is how it is on my nails when the trick or treaters visit!

Here's the other Spooky Day 5 mani's!  As usual, the mani's have been fantastic all week!
