Blue Tone on Tone!

It seems like a hot minute since I've shared a blue mani as my feed has been filled with fall nails, so I needed to remedy that stat!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Essie Out of the Blue, two coats, no top coat.

Topped with ILNP Flashing Lights; this is a magnetic polish but I used it here as a topper.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from SdP 34 using MoYou London Stamping Polish Beach House .

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

I did these nails in August 2024; it was the best my nails looked in a long, long time.  Unfortunately it didn't last long as I got a nail infection shortly after this and have been sporting shorties again.  I know they will heal but not the best for this nail polish loving lady waiting for the nail to grow out.

Thanks for looking!

Color Club Boho Collection Spotted in My Area!

I was so jealous of all the gals who went to the Cosmoprof convention. It was fabulous to see all the blog postings showing the upcoming collections including the new ones from Color Club. (Sign me up if you need a Canadian delegate!!)




Color Club is pretty reclusive in my area...only one or two places sell them or if they are finally sold as box sets at Winners wayyyy after they have been released. There is one store in my area that sells them randomly and when I went to the mall earlier this week, I stopped by to see if there was anything new. All four of the new Color Collections were there and all the shelves were fully stocked as they had just arrived at the store...I was like a kid in the candy store! I got most of the Back to Boho Collection, and all the Beyond the Mistletoe, Backstage Pass and Foiled collections. (Foiled looks like they will stamp well; have to try this soon!)



While there were some awesome polishes to choose from, I thought I'd try out Shabby Drab first and because it was calling for some sunny skies, decided to use a holo polish for stamping. Here's mani in progress. Two coats of Shabby Drab. Wonderful application and beautiful dusty colour, perfect for the cooler weather we've been having.



Stamped using China Glaze LOL using SdP 34.

I got to thinking that this looks mighty familiar....so went thru my stash and came across Zoya Caitlyn. These are the bottle shots. Verryyyy close. When I did a test swatch, Caitlyn was just ever so slightly darker.

Here's a pix the next day in sunlight. The holo is a little more visible.



It seems like there are lots of collections set to be released soon. What one are you waiting for?

Thanks for looking!
