Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

CjS H-113

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-257 for all images except the word Happy and the heart, which is from CjS H-113, using MdU 11 and Konad Red and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Did Ms. Cindy slightly different but still cool using same plates and polishes.

St Patrick’s Nails!

Here's one of the St. Patrick's Day mani's I did this year.  I think they turned out pretty cool and hope they inspire anyone with very short nails. 

Used Painted Polish Celtic Crelly (ring), Chance 080 (thumb), DND 2521 (ring, middle and pinky) and topped Shleee Polish Fauna on top of the index and ring fingers.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover on pinky and ring using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish on the middle using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey, BeautyBigBang XL-067 on thumb using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and lately, CjS H-50 on middle using MdU 80, What's Up Nails The Other Side and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

These nails were done less than a week ago; as you can see they are just growing out, which is why I haven't done more than a couple St. Patrick's Day nails.  Buttttt, a day or so ago, I noticed what looked like a little free edge so clipped one nail down even more so no more mani's for a few days.

Thanks for looking! 

A Bunch of Rudolph's

Aren't these the cutest reindeer nails?  I luv them!

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS C-80.

Started with a base of Painted Polish Let It Dough over one coat of Polished for Days Blush Soft Focus.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS C-80 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and CjS 062.  I did dot the noses with the same polish because I find sometimes the polish leaves a void (as you can see in the eyes) and I like the full stamped look better.  Looking at these nails, I should have dotted the eyes too, but next time!

After using a stamper that shrinks the image, stamped an image from Maniology M041 on the middle nails using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I wish my nails were longer here so you could see more of the cute faces but maybe another time!  I also really like the base polish; not a typical to me polish but really goes well with these images.

Another Halloween Mani!

I did these nails when I was away for the weekend and didn't have a bottle of Apipilia No Smear Top Coat.  Even though I waited 10 or 15 minutes to top coat after stamping, I will had polish drag.  It wasn't obvious to the eye so didn't notice it until I had uploaded these pictures but I do have to say I'm not mad about it in these pix; it kinda adds a spooky vibe.  Appropriate for Halloween nails; here's what I came up with!

Base polishes are Orly Mirror Mirror (thumb), Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Pahlish Witchful Thinking and Sally Hansen Go Figures, no top coat.

Sponged Sally Hansen Euphoric on top of Orly Mirror Mirror on thumb, and did a sponged gradient on index and ring using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Morgan Taylor and OPI Silicon Valley Girl.  No top coat.

Did a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Fall Leaves!

We have more seasonal daytime temperatures now and the nights are really dipping, so there will be lots of fall colour soon.  My favourite time of year; can't wait to see more leaves changing!  Here's another fall mani that I did not too long ago!

Polishes used, starting at the thumb and going clockwise:  Painted Polish Cobra Clarity, Girly Bits Butternut Leave Me Alone, Etheral Lacquer Viper, Chance Nail Lacquer 303, and Cirque Urbanized.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318 using MdU 9, 13, 106 and 107, outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Accent nail is Lina 4 Seasons Autumn 03 with same polishes.

I thought the thumb looked a little bare when the leaves on all leaves were outlined but not on the thumb, so handpainted an outlined them with polish and brush, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
