Beach Baby, Beach Baby!

It's #MusicManiMonday and I did these nails with the song Beach Baby by The First Class!  Beach Baby was released in 1974; if you're not familiar with it, please check it out on YouTube!  Fun summer pop song!

I did a smoosh stamper gradient with an assortment of polishes; too many to mention.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sugar Bubbles SB127

Beauty Big Bang XL-071

Stamped a bunch of beach babies using Beauty Big Bang XL-071 (thumb), Sugar Bubbles SB 127 (ring and index), Sugar Bubbles SB 077 (middle) and Sugar Bubbles SB 065 (pinky) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Quite a few of the images were shrunk with the sizing stamper.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Nails With Unknown Polishes

This is a pretty cool stamper smooshy base; however, I'll never be able to recreate it as I didn't jot down the polishes.  D'oh!  Here's what I came up with!

Did a stamper smoosh base with unknown assortment of polishes.  

After cleanup, topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Perseid Meteor Showers

I did these nails in anticipation of the Perseid Meteor Showers today into tomorrow early morning hours; however, as I type this post, it is storming with thunder, lightning and rain, with the forecast calling for showers until 5 am, so the chances of seeing them tonight is dwindling.  But at least I can look at the meteor showers on my nails!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base of lots of polishes; this was the result.  Polishes used are Zoya Juvia, Penelope Luz Forbidden Love, Penelope Luz Nymphs, Phoenix Klaus, Chance 093, Morgan Taylor Deja Blue, Morgan Taylor Totally Betty and China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Maniology M535 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.  If you check the image on the plate, you will see that I stamped it sideways to mimic the showers.

Maniology M535

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

This was Ms. Cindy; did two coats of China Glaze Blue Rasperry Ice topped with Ribbits Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark.

Stamped with same image from Maniology M535 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

I'm going to check for the meteor showers periodically before I go to bed and if by chance I don't see any, I'm sure there will be lots of images on the web to see from those who were lucky enough to see them!

Thanks for looking!

Rock in Peace, Ozzy!

We lost a true music legend last week so when I sat down to do my nails this week for Music Mani Monday, I knew it had to be Ozzy related in some capacity.  This is what I came up with!

One of my favourite Ozzy songs is Bark at the Moon so I used this picture for inspiration.  

Did a stamper smoosh base using Crystal Polish Go Frost Yourself, Glisten & Glow Lake Breeze Puts Me At Ease, Cameo Colors My Eyes Are Up Here, Painted Polish Stamped in Slate, Olive Ave Polish Motn, and Femme Fatale Hecate.

The line up!  Excuse the messy work station!

Did a stamper decal with image from Candy Skull R-004 and applied it to the ring finger using Polished for Days Briar Rose for skintone; then did a stamped layered moon on the thumb with image from MoYou London E.T. Collection-02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Stamped in Slate.

Shadow stamped words on middle using image from Manitude x Rock Your World using MdU 11 and 13, clouds and moon on index from Nail Matinee NM15 using Painted Polish Stamped in Slate and Painted Polish Blanc Slate, added tombstone from Marianne Nails n117 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, then individually stamped letters on it from Manitude Basics X Alphabet, image from Chez Delaney Musique 001 on pinky (shrunken) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, and SugarBubbles SB064 on thumb (again, shrunken as it is mammoth on my small nails!).  I have to say that the image placement on the thumb is just as good as it can get!  A clear stamper doesn't mean an image is still going to go where you intend it...at least not when I apply it.

Added random sizes of bats on all nails from PY-F031 as well as star on ring finger MoYou London Halloween 001 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  I don't think I need to explain why I used the bats with this Ozzy mani....!

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

Ozzy and Black Sabbath paved the way for so many other heavy metal bands and we owe them a debt of gratitude for this musical contribution.   Metal isn't my favourite genre of music but there are some tunes that I really like especially some of the mainstream hits.  I was so glad that there was a final hurrah on July 5th while Ozzy was able to be there including his family.

Rock in peace, Ozzy.

Sunny Dayzzzz

Two of my favourite things are sunsets and water.  One of my favourite things to do on vacation is seeing the sunset over open water.  And no pricy excursion fees to see it!  These nails are an ode to that and I've shared a few pictures from vacations featuring sunsets, palm trees and surfing!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Sally Hansen Off With Her Red, Essie You know the Espadrille and Sally Hanbsen Catch Me If You Can, on a base of Essie You Know the Espadrille.

Stamped using imnages from MdU ZZ Summer 2 (pinky and index), What's Up Nails B056 (thumb and birds on index), Maniology X Surfrider Foundation m232 (middle) and UberChic UC Vacation Mode (ring) using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.
