Happy Pride Month!

June is Pride Month and I have a few mani's that I'll be sharing during the month, including this one!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with some Glam Polish skittles.  Polishes used starting at thumb and going clockwise are:  You're Kraken Me Up, Oh Buoy, Throw Me Somethin' Mister, The Boss Beach and Fin-tastic! all on a base of Cupcake White Pop.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Maniology M401 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Here's Ms. Cindy; I think I stamped it better than what I shared!

Thanks for looking!

Aloha!

I think I've shared enough winter nails for the season, although I do have a few more nails that I haven't shared and they might show up between now and spring!  But I'm thinking of warmer weather, so am going to share a few tropical or nautical nails over the next little while.  Starting with this one! I love the look of these nails; it's hard to believe that I did them almost  5 (!) years ago!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smoosh base using Fancy Gloss Neon Yellow, Neon Green, and Neon Blue.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

MoYou Tropical Collection-17

Stamped using MoYou London Collection-17 using Funky Fingers Dark Knight.  

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

Happy Valentines Day!!

One day not too long ago, I needed a pick me up so I decided to paint my nails this bright hot pink.  I thought it would make a pretty cool Valentine's Day mani so added some heart stamping and this is what I ended up with!

Started with a base of Glisten & Glow Lei'd Back, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

SR-S009

Stamped using image from SR-S009 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, with accent nails of MoYou London Festive 20.  Used same MoYou image to duplicate the hearts on the ring finger to fill the space for interest.

Halloween Bonus Nails

I call these Halloween bonus nails as I did these nails mid summer for a weekend Halloween event, but didn't have any Halloween stamping plates or (what I would use for) Halloween polishes.  But I tried to make it work with what I had on hand and thinkthey turned out pretty cool!  They were a lot brighter than they appear here; however, the lighting washed them out a bit but hopefully you still get the idea of them.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with typical Halloween colours (to me, anyway!)  Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If (thumb), Painted Polish Midnight Mischief (index and pinky), and OPI Silicon Valley Girl.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines using Lina Born to Sail 01 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, and shadow stamped stars from UberChic UC 28-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate. 

Added a whole lot of dots for colour, interest and filler, using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate, MdU 11, 13 and 69.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 This is out of my wheelhouse but I liked how it turned out; I need to do nails like this more often!  It was a nice, bright mani during the summer and subed for Halloween nails too in a pinch!

Summer Brights!

 I've been sharing quite a few mani's that I've had in drafts for a while.  The nails being shared today are relatively current and the first I had stamped in a few months as I was waiting for one of my damaged nails to grow out and here is is just barely long enough to polish.  I was pretty happy how they turned out; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Orly Put the Top Down, no top coat.  I loved how bright and vibrant this colour was!  Perfect colour for summer nails!

Topped accent nails with China Glaze Point Me to the Party, no top coat.

Topped with KShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did layered stamping using UberChic UC Let's Get Lost using MdU 107 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.  I can't believe how well I did this layered stamping, especially considering I didn't have the best lighting.  Maybe that was the trick lol!

Finished these fun summer nails with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Colourful Florals!

June is coming to an end and I haven't shared nearly enough rainbow nails in support of Pride Month, but here is one more before the month is out.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of skittles on top of a coat of white.  Starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If, CND Pop-Up Pool Party, OPI Infinity Shine Positive Vibes Only, OPI Infinity Shine V-I-Pink Passes, and Nobility Sweet Kiwi.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using a layered image from UberChic UC 28-01 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief.

Bright Circles!

Here's another bright for Pride Month!

This post will be short and sweet as I didn't take any in progress shots as I didn't think I was going to share my nails when I sat down to do them.  Started with a stamper smooshy base using Fancy Gloss polishes:  Imperial, Neon Green, Pipe Dream Celebration, On the List and Light of Day.  Then stamped using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief using Creative Shop 15.

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

Circles!

I've been wearing a lot of these bright green shades lately and hopefully I'll be sharing them over the next while.  

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Feelin' Lime, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Vanessa Momina Limoncello Martini, no top coat.  Love this!

Vivid Lacquer VL-044

Stamped with image from Vivid Lacquer VL-044 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  I was disappointed that the fine lines didn't show up better.  I tried quite a few different stamping polishes and they were all the same lack of transference.  Bummer as quite a bit of the swirl didn't show up.

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

Swirls!

Spring is upon us and we have warmer weather again, which means I'm going to be sharing a whole bunch of floral mani's, but before I do, I thought I'd share this swirl mani that I did one bleak day this past winter.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Orly Synthetic Symphony, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Glam Polish Sunset Surf, no top coat.

Stamped with image from Lesly LS-20 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.
