Happy Halloween!

It's Trick or Treating Day; have a Happy Halloween if you celebrate!  The weather is suppose to be really warm and I suspect that there will be lots of kids at my door tonight and although I don't have any kids going out as they are past that, my two grandchildren will be going door to door.  Yes, I've hit that phase!  

Started on a base of skittles; starting at the thumb and going clockwise, polishes used are Colors by llarowe Sweet Nector (Hypnotic Polish Exclusive), Pampered Polish Blast Ended Skrewt, Noodles Polish Kool Halloween (PPU September 2024), Noodles Polish Chills & Thrills, and Nine Zero Eight Spotted Forester, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-57

I usually take pix as I go along but looks like this is pretty much the finished look except top coatl must have been in a rush!  Used a whole slew of plates which is pretty typical for me; CjS H-55 (middle), Lina Spooklicious! 02 (words on middle), CjS H-78 (index), CjS H-57 (pinky), CjS H-74 (ring) and Hit The Bottle So Creepin Cute (thumb).  These are either shadow or layered stamping.  Stamping polishes used are MdU 11, 13, Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Midnight Mischief and Stamped in Slate.  Also added bat for filler and interest using Wistonia Haunted House.

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

 I hope you enjoyed this years Halloween looks.  I unfortunately didn't have time to share them all so I have a start on next year's posts!

Happy Halloween!

Christmas Eve!

It's Christmas Eve; the only night of the year I like to see a bit of snow on the ground and then I hope it's finished snowing by morning as we usually travel to see family Christmas and Boxing Day.  Update, we're not travelling Christmas Day as weather condition are too poor and most roads in the snow belt are closed due to the snow and high winds that a lot of Canada and US are experiencing.

Started with a base of Zoya Walker with accent nails of Noodles Polish Mother of Dragons on a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.

Using Early Indie Polish

I know spring is some time away but thought I'd share these floral nails anyway.  These aren't really spring nails anyway; they are any-time-of-year-nails!  It's a funny time of year and busy if you do nail art for all the holidays; Valentines, Chinese New Year, St. Patrick's Day, then Easter - all within a couple of months.  If you are like me and only post every so many days, it takes a few weeks to do a few manis so there isn't much time in between holidays so here's a quick mani before I start to share St. Patrick's day nails.  Or soon, anyway!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Robyn with an accent nails of Noodles Polish Life's Short, Talk Fast (Feb 2019 PPU).

Topped a couple nails with an unknown indie brand, Jack Frost.  I don't remember much about the polish although it was one of the first indie I ever bought from a maker that I didn't 'know' and I remember I seen it on a blog post and emailed the blogger and the sale was arranged that way.  First time that I used it but don't know why it took so long!  I'm guessing this is over 10 years ago.  You can tell it was one of the first indies as it looks like recycled WetnWild bottles were used from the days of frankening.

This was my purchase way back when, except I bought a couple of one of the polish. Anyone recognize the maker?  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Marianne Nails Professional n.27

Stamped using image from Marianne Nails n.27 with accent of EYNails n.1 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Used the two base polishes and dotted on the nails.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I took a couple pictures outside in overcast light so some of the glitter and shimmer showed up a bit better.

Thanks for looking!

Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat!

Shadow stamped the pinky then added extra bats using Delaney Halloween 006.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added a few dots on the thumb for colour, filler and interest using same polishes.

Added one final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Another Fall Mani!

Even though we've had snow once and apparently more is on the way early in the week, it still is fall and in my area, I would say that until the really cold spell hit on Thursday or so, most of the leaves were still on the trees.  Then the cold spell hit on Wednesday night and most of the leaves fell that night.  Like all at once.  Then it snowed and still haven't got them off the lawn yet.  I sure do hope that we get a spell of good weather before winter does set in to get them raked and out of the eaves!

Anyway, I still have a few fall nails to share including this one; here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base, starting on thumb and going clockwise, Picture Polish Foxy, Picture Polish Pooh, Picture Polish Autumn, Noodles Polish Pumpkin Spice and Picture Polish Amber, no top coat.  All are two coats except the Noodles which was three.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 03 with an accent of Maniology M022 using MdU 9, 11, 32, 59, 106 and 107.

Added the veins of the leaves with the same stamping plate using MdU 2.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  It was too bad the middle finger had a little smear but sometimes, that's how it goes.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend; thanks for looking!
