A Lazy Sunday

 Sorry to be MIA again; I was sick for about a week, then had a really busy 10 days or so of work with so many meetings, blah blah, but the end result was that I didn't have much time to do any blog postings so today, I'm having a much needed lazy Sunday and am doing a few posts to schedule while watching movies.   (edit:  I started this on Sunday but didn't finish it until Monday as my lazy Sunday turned into doing chores around the house so it wasn't as lazy as I had hoped!) 

Started with a base of two coats of Red Eyed Lacquer Not Today Red Barron, HHC Halloween 2022, no top coat.  I cannoy say how much I love this polish!  I have a few back up bottles even which says a lot as I don't buy backups of many polishes lately but I do adore it!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Lesly LS-112 using MdU 91.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Thanks for looking!

Dots!

Another mani that I adored, this is so much a CNF mani: blue (of course), colourful (usually), holographic (yes please!), dots (so often!) and busy.  Busy might be my middle name!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Cirque Hudson with accent nails of Red Eyed Lacquer Not Today Red Barron (Hella Handmade Creations September 2022).  I love this polish and as so glad I was able to get a couple backup bottles!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on top.

Stamped using Hit The Bottle Vintage Grunge 01 using MdU 91, with accent nails of DRK XL Designer 01 using same stamping polish.

Used Picture Polish Stamped in Starfruit for floral centers, then decided to add it and Painted Polish Stamped in Greenery 2.0 for colour interest and filler.

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

 Thanks for looking!

Season's Greetings!

I was wanting something a little different and seen a polish that I got not too long ago sitting on my mani table from Red Eye Lacquer and thought it would be a great base for a little nontraditional looking mani I wanted to do so used it for these nails...this is what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Red Eyed Lacquer Don't Feed The Bear!, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Winter 03 using EdK Lili, no top coat.  Also stamped words from HD-F on the thumb; the thumb mistletoe is from the same Lina plate.

Shadow stamped (not very well) using MdU 9 and then added a few dots for berries on the rest of the nails.

Added top coat to finish.  I wasn't happy with this at all; the berries bled out on the middle finger and my shadow stamping wasn't very...well, shadow-y.

So the next day, I removed the stamping on the middle and thumb, added another coat of the base polish and then restamped the images, including better shadow stamping on the thumb, then topped it with another coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Shadow stamping isn't perfect, but better than the night before lol.  

Different lighting.

Thanks for looking!
