Snowflakes

We've had snow off an on for the last couple of weeks so I thought I'd share another snowflake mani.

Started with a base of Morgan Taylor Making Waves, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from SugarBubbles SBS 15 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added dots using NOX Twight Disco Darling.

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

Yorkville Splurge by CANVASlacquer

Here's another CANVASlacquer; this is Yorkville Splurge by CANVASlacquer.



According to CANVASlacquer Etsy shop: Yorkville Splurge - an unexpected and unique mix of copper hexes, matte blue and white glitters, rose gold squares and a generous dose of holographic silver dust, giving a very luxurious feel to this glitter topper.

CANVASlacqer Yorkville Splurge is a topper; I wanted to go with a complementary neutral base so started with two coats of Nox Twilight ?  Unfortunately, I don't have a name!  Looks like Poseidon, but not sure.  I don't know if this is a nameless bottle or if the label has been lost over the years.  Nox Twilight whatever it is is very sheer; two coats still had sheer coverage.



Added one coat of Yorkville Splurge by CANVASlacquer.  Yorkville Splurge is part of The City Collection....and I actually know that part of the city they are talking about being a local GTA gal!  I do have to admit that I've never splurged in Yorkville (I guess I've ate in a pricy restaurant in the area!)....unless you're talking Yorkville Mall and a massive haul of Sephora polishes! But I know that isn't the area they are referencing!



I didn't want to hid the base with a lot of stamping, so picked an image from Pet'la Floral; stamping polish is Mundo de Unas #5, which I think complimented it nicely.



This is one of those Mundo de Unas polishes that stains so there is a little bit of polish left despite my removal efforts.  Don't let you deter from using them!  On those prone to doing this, just do clean up right after you stamp finger by finger and there will be no problem.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.



I really like how this turned out; it was a nice, bright change to an otherwise drab day with the lovely sparkle of the holographic glitter whenever it hit the light!

CANVASlacquer polishes are available via their Etsy shop here!  They ship international, too!

Digit-al Dozen Does Winter Wonderland; Day 2

For the Digit-al Dozen Winter Wonderland mani's, I tried to think a little outside of the box for a winter related mani but not the traditional snowflakes, trees, and the like (trust me, I still did these mani's too!).  But tried to be a little different.  I ultimately came up with a Snow Owl for Day 2!

(I've done minor editing one the middle finger in the pix in the post as best as I could; some are better than others but the mark is the only editing I've done!)

Started with a base of NOX Twilight unnamed.  Either I couldn't see the name on the label or if it was on the bottle of the bottle, it was missing, sorry.  But it is a very light gray jelly; this is two coats.

Sponged on Orly Boho Bonnet. 

Added more sponging using Barry M Grey.

Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. (Love how this turned out; could use a base like this for so many mani's!!)

Added stamping using white Konad special polish and Mundo de Unas 34 using Messy Mansion MM38 for most images except the tree on the index and ring which is LLC-B and the owl on the thumb which is Infinity 55.  

Messy Mansion MM38

Infinity 55

Just before top coating, I took a very dry brush and added a few white patches to mimic snow using Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure White OUt.  Top coated to finish.

I decided to matte the mani, used OPI Matte.

A quick pix of my right hand; used same NOX base and stamped with an image from Nailways Back to Basics Block It using Mundo de Unas 34, then matted.

Here's the other ladies Day 2 Winter Wonderland mani's!
