Wasn't It A (St. Patrick's Day) Party!

With St. Patrick's Day being tomorrow, this past weekend was a popular day for St. Patrick's Day parties (or so I'm told), so sharing these fun nails that would have been perfect for a party, had I gone to one.  And the perfect St. Patrick's Day party song is Wasn't It A Party by The Irish Rovers, for #MusicManiMonday.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Glam Polish Happy Grass (PPU March 2025) on pinky and index, Glam Polish There Ain't Nothing Gonna Stop Me Now on thumb, and DND DC 2521 Quantum Leap on the rest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Excuse the smear on the middle; it was three coats of polish and wasn't quite dry.

Stamped using images from M561 on index and pinky using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and What's Up Pod Partners.  Thumb is also Maniology M561, shadow stamped using MdU 11 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Ring finger is MdU Irish 1 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, MdU 13 and China Glaze GR8 on the hat band on the stamper decal.  Middle finger is layered stamping using CjS H-104 using MdU 60,68, 39, 11, 13 and Moyra SP02 in that order for the rainbow.  The gold coins are stamped with Hit the Bottle To Have and to Gold with image from CjS H-104.  The orange on the ring and finger was a grid type of stamping image that didn't stamp well so I had to go in another direction.

Isolated the coins from the image on CjS H-104 and stamped them using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Hand painted the rainbow on the thumb (not very well!).

Maniology M561

CjS H-104

Added a few accents for interest and filler with images from Maniology M561 on middle, thumb and ring using Painted Polish Woodland Whimsy and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Thanks for looking!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!! May you find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Started with a base of two coats of Stella Chroma Mistletoe Kisses, with a few extra coats at the tips.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using MdU Irish 1 (ring and thumb), Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish (middle) and Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-50 on the rest.  Green is MdU 52 and white is Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished layering on the shamrock nails using CjS H-50 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Shadow stamped on ring and thumb using same plates and MdU 52.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Different lighting.

 Thanks for looking!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It's St. Patrick's Day; may you find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, don't drink too much green beer and stay away from those foolish leprechauns!  

Started with a base of two coats of Daily Hues What Band is Next? on white soft blur base, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UC mini: St. Patrick's Day 4

Stamped using image from UberChic mini: St. Patrick's Day 4 using Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery with accent of MdU Irish 1.

Shadow stamped all images using same plate with Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey 2.0.  Also added a few shamrocks on the thumb and shadow stamped them as well.

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

Ms. Cindy; similar images but not quite the same.  The first layer of stamping is a bunch of greens as I was trying to figure out which green I wanted to use for the shared mani.

Thanks for looking!

Another St. Paddy's Day Mani!

I know, yet another St. Patrick's Day mani.  I'm almost done sharing if you are over them, don't worry!  To be honest, I haven't seen that many St. Patrick's Day nail art mani's.  Yes, I've seen quite a few green mani's being shared but not many nail art mani's.  Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places!  It could also be that St. Patrick's Day images, at least stamping plates, are lacking and there's only so many ways you can spin shamrocks, leprechauns and rainbows!  Not unless you are gifted and can do freehand but alas, that is not me.  Anyway, this was the first St. Paddy's mani I did for this year; not my favourite of the bunch but always share the good with the bad.  Here's what I came up with!

I was looking for the pictures of this mani in progress, then I remembered, this was a mani I wasn't going to share!  Just because I wasn't that happy with it, not because of the way it turned out, but because it was on of the first mani's I did with my cut down thumb nail.  See, I had a crack on the nail and it started maybe half way on the nail.  I was able to patch it then but when it got up to the free edge enough, the acrylic patch would snag and be all annoying so I just cut down my nail and filed the down to the crack which made for an oh, not very attractive thumb nail.  It didn't stop me from doing my nails but unfortunately, it's not the prettiest.  But I'm sharing this mani anyway so hopefully you can look past it!

MdU Irish 1

UberChic UC mini:  St. Patrick's Day 2

So if you've made it this far, on a base of Glam Polish Somewhere That's Green, stamped images from MdU Irish 1 (thumb), UC mini:  St. Patrick's Day 2 (ring and index) and UC St. Patrick's Day  (middle and pinky) using MdU 80.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Hope you're having a great week!  Thanks for looking!
