St. Patrick's Nails

Another St. Patrick's mani with some double stamped shamrocks, although not that well!  Haha!  But they look good from a distance!

Polishes used, starting at thumb and going clockwise, are Chance Nail Lacquer 79, Chance Nail Lacquer 80, Pretty & Polished If Hyruled the Work, Lollipop Posse Lacquer Justice and Essie Willow on the Wind.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Uber Chic UC mini: St. Patrick's Day on thumb, and MoYou London Festive 75 on the rest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Used MdU 39 on all fingers but thumb for some double stamping.

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

Thanks for looking!

Another East Mani!

Here's another Easter mani that I have to share!

Started with a base of Zoya Tilda (thumb) and Girly Bits Peep Calm and Carry One (index and ring) and Pretty & Polished No One Fights Alone (middle and pinky); all two coats.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I made a few stamper decals using images from Creative Shop 7S, MoYou Festive 58 and MoYou Festive 68, then appied them to the nails using sticky base.  The words on the ring finger are from ZZ Cartoon Easter.

St. Patrick's Day Nails!

Top o' the morning to you!  Cheesy, I know, but I'm pretty sure at least one St. Patrick's Day post every year has this in it!  I'm starting to share St. Patrick's Day mani's now and this is the first one that I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Tilda with accent nails of Pretty & Polished If Hyruled The World, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 

Stamped using Moyra 24 and UberChic mini: St. Patrick's Day using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added dots using same polishes, as well as few added dots using Colors by Llarowe Last Harvest.

The other hand was my test hand; I didn't go with this loo but I thought it looked pretty cool!

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope that you are enjoying the day with family or friends and thinking of everything you have to be thankful for!  I know I am thankful for a lot; I've been blessed with a husband that loves me to pieces even after 26 years of marriage, three wonderful children, a career that challenges me and has provided well for my family and everyone has pretty good health (everyone but me but I'm getting by lol!).  Lastly, I am thankful that I have the means and time to support my nail art hobby and then be able to share it with everyone who chooses to see it on the various social media accounts that I have for over the last nine years and hopefully you enjoy it as well.  Thank you so much!

Polishes used starting at the thumb and going clockwise are Pretty & Polished In the Buff and then alternating nails of SpaRitual Kindness and SpaRitual Positive Vibes.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After making a few stamper decals, applied them.  Images are from Lesly Golden Leaves (thumb), Creative Shop 91 (index), Infinity 65 (middle), Lina 4 Season - Autumn 02 (ring) and Delaney Automne 003 (thumb).  Used assortment of MdU stamping polishes for all the decals.

Absolutely love this stamper decal!  I only wish my nails were wider and longer so that it could really be appreciated!  I'd love to do a mani with this on all nails; it is so cool for sure! It didn't help that I didn't place the decal centered on my nail but sometimes these things happen despite best efforts!

The finished nail; not placed very well but at least you see the leaves well on the one side!  Still love it!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Shadow stamped words on thumb using MdU 2 and 106 using image from Maniology M023.  My test hand shadow stamping was much better and I have a feeling that the solid words are to be stamped before the outlined ones but that's OK!  I'll know better for next time!

Thanks for looking and Happy Thanksgiving!

Digit-al Dozen Does Colours; Day 2

I discovered that most of the mani's I was going to share this week were bright colours with negative space stamping.  Which is OK but might be a tad boring for sharing so I thought I had better mix up the colours a bit!  Here's my day 2 colour mani for Digit-al Dozen week!

Started with a base of two coats of Pretty & Polished No One Fights Alone, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Feeling Shapely! 01 using MdU 91.

Stamped the rest of the nails using MdU 1 using image from CICI & SISI-Spring 04.

I isolated the floral images from the same image on the CICI & SISI plate and stamped it on the lines.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Dotted the center of the flowers using MdU 66 and 91 for some added colour and interest.

Happy Spring!!!

It's the first day of spring....well officially this afternoon at 5:58 pm!  

After a long, cold, wet and icy winter, let's hope that spring-like weather is just around the corner!  I did these nails a year ago but didn't get around to sharing them but I do think they are kinda cool so wanted to be sure to get them shared this year!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats each of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and Pretty & Polished Walking on Sunshine.

Did a sponged gradient using Pretty & Polished Walking On Sunshine and I'm Kale-ing It With This Color.  Love the gradient!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 01 (index and pinky) using Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery and Creative Shop 41 (thumb, middle and index) using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Creative Shop 41

Added few accent dots using CND Bicycle Yellow.

Decided to add dots on all fingers using same CND Bicycle Yellow.

Love!!!

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
