Season's Greetings

With Christmas right around the corner, I thought I should start to share a few holiday themed nails!  I've only done a few so far this year for a couple reasons; I have a nail injury so my nails aren't the best to share and just no time!  I hope to have some more time in the new year!  In the mean time, here's what I came up with!

Winter M02

Started with a base of two coats of Olive Ave Polish Terre, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Winter M02 on all fingers using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added sprigs on ring finger using same Winter M02 plate, then added words using Powder Perfect Christmas 1 using Konad red, then added a few dots for some colour and interest.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 Thanks for looking!

Sweater Nails!

Too soon??!!  

We've had some cool nights lately and with some cool windy days, I've had to wear a sweater outside too!  Too soon to put on the heat but a sweater lessens the chill a little bit.  Here's a mani I did last winter that I thought I'd share right now!

Started with a base of Different Dimension Mystery Proto 145, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Powder Perfect Christmas 1 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking!

Blue Sweater Nails!

I did these quick and easy sweater nails one morning before work this past winter.  While they may not seem too appropriate to be posting in April as spring like nails are more appropriate, they are blue and as I'm trying to post only blue mani's in April, they are getting shared now!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Cupcake Polish Bat-chelor Pad, no top coat.  I have to add that I am just in love with Cupcake Polish!  I own maybe 10-15 of them but for the most part, they have sat untried.  I love the formula, brush, clean up and removal was a breeze plus lots of holo!  It made me want to buy up all the Cupcakes!  It seems I must love this colour as when I was looking to see what Cupcakes I own, I realized I have two bottles of this!  Good thing though, I've wore it a few times!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Powder Perfect Christmas 1 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Top coated with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Thanks for looking!

Season's Greetings

Merry Christmas!!!  Hopefully you're having a joyous day with family or friends this Christmas Day!  Regardless of what you do, enjoy the company of whomever you are spending it with and safe travels if you have places to go!  

These the my favourite nails from all I have done during the holiday season!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Onyx with an accent of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Can't Beet Royalty.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Powder Perfect-Christmas 1 using MdU 106 for stars, then stamped using  an image plate using MdU 48 for trees.

Powder Perfect-Christmas 1.

Added words from same Powder Perfect Christmas 1 on accent using MdU 1.  Then added random snowflakes from Infinity 75 individually.  Yes, that is 27 times.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added snow using KBShimmer White Here, White Now which finished the mani.

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Started with a base of Zoya Shawn, Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Can't Beet Royalty, OPI Onyx.

Topped some nails with Polished For Days Seraphine.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I had made a stamper decal using an image from Marianne Nails n.118; applied it to thumb.

Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 02 (pinky and index), UberChic UC Christmas 02 (middle) and Powder Perfect Christmas 1 (doubled stamped on ring).  Dotted holly berries.  Used Mdu 1, 9, 48 and 106. Added China Glaze There's Snow One Like You on ring finger tip.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Added words on thumb from Powder Perfect Christmas 1 using MdU 1, then various dots using MdU 1 and 106.  Individually stamped snowflakes on ring finger and thumb with images from Infinity Nails 75 using MdU 1.



Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Ok.  I was a bit obsessed with my thumb image!  I love how it turned out!

I also thought that this would look kinda vintage like if matte top coat was added (plus bring out the flakies from the Polished for Days), so added a coat of My Indie Polish My Perfect Matte.  I can't decide if I like it best matte or glossy??!!??

Again, here's the link for the Nail Polish Canada 2018 Nail Art Contest; please make sure you vote for your favourite mani!

Thanks for looking....and for casting your vote!  Thank you as well to Nail Polish Canada for hosting the contest!  Good luck to all!
