Birthday Nails!

My granddaughter turned three in December and at the time, I was in the midst of all the holiday nails, so didn't get around to sharing them.  Until now!  Her birthday party theme was dinosaurs and she thought they were awesome; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Orly On a Whim (thumb), KBShimmer In Yacht Water (index and ring) and KBShimmer Chick Me Out (middle).

Topped thumb with topped with KBShimmer Something to Taco About, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  

I used a lot of plates for this mani including many that I had never used before, so please be patient while I share them!

What's Up Nails B055.

MoYou London Jurassic Park 04

EDK Jurassic Age

MdU Jurassic Park

Manitude Basics x Alphabet

Made a stamper decal from What's Up Nails B055 and words from MdU Jurassic Park using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  I'm prettyyyy sure the decal fill in was with KBShimmer Something to Taco About, but may be wrong.  Before stamping the ring finger, I added a little sponged gradient with Orly Midnight Oasis, then stamped with EDK Jurassic Age using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Stamped pinky and thumb with images from EdK Jurassic Age as well (footprint on the thumb and dinosaur on the pinky).  The pinky and index both have landscape stamped before the dinosaur both using MoYou London Jurassic Park 04, and was also used for the dinosaur on the index as well using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Stamped in Clay.  The landscape was stamped with CjS 083 and 218.  Happy Birthday on thumb was from SBS 28 and heart, star and smiley face on thumb was from Maniology X Carole Annette M415 using What's Up Bargain-villea.  The number 3 was stamped from plate Manitude Basics x Alphabet and the letters for the name were stamped individually using Manitude Books & Crannies.  

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Also added a coat of Essie Matte About You, which made the middle nail really pop!

These were really time consuming; I think they took me three hours in total from picking plates and polishes, to doing all the different steps, but worth it when I seen the smile on her face when she seen them.  It was also great to use a bunch of plates that I hadn't used before.

Thanks for looking!

 

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!
