Happy 2024!

2024 is here!  Happy New Year!

Started with a base of Painted Polish Dreaming In Polish, on two coats of Cupcake Polish White Pop, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After making stamper decals using images from SugarBubbles SBS031, applied them to the nail.  Used Painted Polish Midnight Mischief for the outline, then filled in using MdU 26, 50, 83 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

SBS031

Shadow stamped words on thumb and numbers on ring using MdU 83 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate using images from Powder Perfect Celebration 1.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  I want to point out the letter E on the thumb in the word 'New".  See the picture above, the letter is perfect.  That's because I stamped it and it was.  Then I got up and got a glass of water and somewhere along the lines, the E fell off the nail.  So I stamped a replacement and it too was perfect.  Except when I went to top coat it, it folded.  I'm like, are you kidding me?!?  So I stamped it again and it's not so clear as the folded E is still there and I didn't want to risk trying to remove it because those letters are so darn small.  

Thanks for looking and all the best in 2024!

 

First Snow of the Season so Time to Start Wearing Those Sweaters!

Sweater nails for sweater season!

Started with a base of three coats of Girly Bits Party Time! Excellent! (October 2022 PPU), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Messy Mansion mm40 and Power Perfect-Christmas 1 using CJS 134, then Painted Polish Deux 2.0.

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

Thanks for looking!

Happy New Year!

It's New Year's Eve...and in just a few short hours, it will be a new year...a new decade even....as we welcome 2020!  These are the nails that I'll be wearing to ring in the New Year!

After doing one coat of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, did a sponged gradient of Color Club Peace Out Purple (which is really pink!), Mrs. Robinson and Island Vibes, no top coat.  This was easily one of the easiest gradients I have ever done! 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  All I could think of at this point was I hope I don't wreck it with the stamping!

First, I shadow stamped the thumb with image from Maniology M037 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief.  Then stamped image from MoYou Festive 39 on thumb, SugarBubbles SBS18 on index, Maniology m02 on middle and ring and Powder Perfect Celebration 1 on pinky all using Painted Polish Blanc Slate. 

Maniology M037.  This is the plate that I used to shadow stamp the thumb stars before I stamped the words.  I cannot believe that I actually lined up those little dots not too badly or the shadow stamping!

Shadow stamped using same images using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I hope you have a safe New Year's Eve and all the best to you as we welcome the new year and decade...the Roarin' 20's!

Thanks for looking!
