Happy Birthday…..To Me!

I'm blessed to celebrate another birthday today!  Thanks to all my family and friends for the birthday wishes!  These are the nails I'm wearing today!

Started with a base of one coat of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls on a coat of Cupcake Polish White Pop, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  After it was dry, sponged using BKind Mojito, BKind Sapa Valley and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-257

I made stamper decals for all nails except the pinky using images from Maniology M458 (index), MoYou London Happy Birthday 02 (thumb and middle), and SugarBubbles SBS 28 (ring).  The layered stamping on the pinky is using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-257.  Stamping polishes used are MdU 11, 52, 53, 65 and 91, with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  

Added lots of individual stars using images from Chez Delaney Fete 001 and Maniology M458 using MdU 11.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

I did Ms. Cindy a little different but was all me with floral daisies from Maniology X Carole Annette M415 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate with MdU 11 centers, on a base of BKind Sapa Valley with accent nails topped with Sally Hansen Instadri Limelight, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

 Looking all that the next 365 days bring!  

I also used this mani for #MusicManiMonday but didn't pick a birthday song as I just used Happy Birthday for my son's bday a couple weeks ago, so used Taylor Swift's August, which is appropriate too!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday!

The one who made me a mom turned 30th last week and I did these birthday nails for him!  His current interest is playing darts so I did these dart themed nails; here's what I came up with!

Did a stamper smooshy base using lots of polishes.  Adding the shimmer was a good idea in theory as it adds lot of interest but such a pain in cleanup; it was everyyyyywhere!

These are the polishes used:  Pahlish 1989, KBShimmer Chill Out (Reflective), Essie Gel Couture Rock the Runway, Essie Gel Couture Cut Loose, Noodles Nail Polish Long Time No Sea, Lacquer Is in the Air I'm Just a Kid (PPU June 2022), Sally Hansen CSM Writing on the Walls, Did I Blue That and Draw Blue in.  (whew!)

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After shrinking the dart board images, did stamper decals on the thumb and middle using MoYou London Games Collection-03; this plate was also used for the images on the pinky.  Then stamped using images from Maniology M458 (stars on background on index and pinky), MrFox-LB023 (words on index), MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 and 02 (cupcake and stars on ring), and UberChic UC mini:  Happy Birthday (numbers on index).  Stamping polishes are MdU 11, 13, and 91, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate.  Also used red and green Sally Hansen CSM polishes for stamper decals but didn't make note on them.

Added random stars on middle and thumb using MoYou London Happy Birthday 01 using MdU 11 for filler and interest.

After removing the hair that I seen on the index finger, topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Here was the cake my son had for his birthday, which was awesome!

My son really liked these nails so the time and effort they took was worth it (as they were time consuming lol).

Thanks for looking!

Happy Birthday!

Today was my birthday and these were the nails that I wore all day!

Started with a stamper smoosh base using Pahlish ?, Sally Hansen Hard Drive Me Crazy, Essie All Fund & Games and Cupcake Polish White Pop.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

Did a bunch of stamper decals using images from Sugar Bubbles SBS 28 (thumb, pinky, index), Maniology M458 (ring) and UC mini:  Happy Birthday (middle).  Did the outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, then used a whole lot of colours for the decals:  MdU 11, 65, 91, Different Dimension Kiss Me Under The Light of a Thousand Stars, Quo Sweep Lollipop, Quo Periwinkle Pop, and Sally Hansen Dockside Dreaming.  I didn't plan it very well in advance or I wouldn't have used so much green in the decals.  Also, all the effort in the smooshy stamper base and decals cover most of it.  I could have done an easy coat of a creme polish!  I like how the base looked; maybe for another mani some day.
