Enjoy These Last Days of Summer Weather!

Southern Ontario is going through a little heat wave these last few days even though the first day of fall has come and gone!  Not that I'm complaining; we didn't have that great of a summer as it was cool and raining so much in the spring and early summer as well as unseasonably cool in late summer.  Anyway, not like we have any choice in the matter but I thought I would at least share these summer nails that I was sporting about a month ago!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Quo by Orly Femme Fatale, no top coat.  I love this colour; so bright and fun; it's the colour that I've wore on my toes most of the summer!  Yes, I try to take my own polish when I get a pedi so that I have it in case I need a touch up.  I also take my own quick dry top coat because they never, ever have quick dry tc at the salon and I can cut down dry time (plus am usually wearing sandals all summer long so my dry time is cut down substantially) so I keep this polish and a bottle of KBShimmer Clearly on Top in my purse.  I have a couple backups of this too because I love it so much!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from MoYou Tropical 16 (middle), MoYou Tropical 06 (thumb), Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 03 (ring), Lina 4 Seasons-Summer 02 (image over words on ring) and Lina Feeling Shapely! 02 (index and pinky); used Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking...and enjoy this summer weather while we can!

40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Hot Pink

Late again for the 40 Great Nail Art Ideas Does Hot Pink challenge; I had added prompt of skittles!

For the skittles, picked assortment of hot pink polishes, purposely trying to have a few different finishes for some interest.  Starting at thumb and going clockwise, polishes are Girly Bits Julia, Glam Polish Unforgettable Dream, Smitten/Dreamland Pool Noodle, Colors by llarowe Frenzy and Crazy Polish Lady Strawberry Swing.  All are two coats except Pool Noodle which is 3 and Frenzy which is 4.  I had forgotten that Frenzy is also a skin and nail stainer which might not have been too bad for it was also very thin and I did a newbie move and flooded my cuticles then had pink stained skin for the rest of my pix.

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

Stamped using assortment images from MoYou Tropical Collection 15 and 16 using Funky Fingers Gesso.

Finished with a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.



Even though I had on base coat, I still have a hot pink accent from Colors by llarowe Frenzy.  I've tried several known methods to in an attempt to remove the staining, but nothing has worked yet.



Here's the other ladies Hot Pink mani's with their various prompts!
