Smile!

I hope these put a smile to your face!

Started with a base of Color Vibe Feelin' It, three coats, no top coat, over a base of Cupcake White Pop.

Maniology M329

Topped with Pahlish Jaq & Gus, no top coat.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Maniology M329 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Unfortunately, I didn't stamp the index fully to the end of the nail and I didn't notice until I had finished my nails as this could have been an easy fix with some polish and a brush.  Not visible IRL anyway, but still irked me.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

 Hope you have a great day and remember to smile at least once today...and several times if you're lucky!

Thanks for looking!

Layering Done Right

 Another stunning layering combination!  I have so much fun layering polishes; it's one of my favourite things to do!  Fun fact:  These nails are from 2024 and I loved them so much that I recreated them and they are on my nails right now!

It’s Frickin Cold!

We had a few warm (for winter) days after our big snowfall and it was good because so much of the snow was able to melt.  The snow banks were soo high and there wasn't a lot of places to put it so the melt really will help if we some accumulation.  But we are in another deep freeze; it's suppose to be -17C tonight which is chillyyy!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Pahlish Olaf (Black Friday 2024) on thumb, three coats of Moon Shine Mani Peace and Love on the Planet Earth on the index and pinky and Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuasion on the rest.  I first put a coat of Polished for Days Lilac Soft Focus on all nails the the Morgan Taylor.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did shadow stamping on nails using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, MdU 111 and Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle with images from Kads Christmas 040 (thumb and middle), Kads Christmas 026 (pinky and indiex) and Marianne Nails Professional n31 (ring).
