Gray Nautical Nails

Believe it or not, this is a gradient but unfortunately, one of the colours that I had picked out didn't show up that well when sponging.  Instead, I pretty much got the base from the one colour and the shimmer from the second one.  But sometimes that's just how doing your nails go; they don't always turn out as we expect but I went with it anyway!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of Love & Beauty gray.


These are the two polishes I used; the gray for the base, then both for the gradient.


This was the end result of the gradient.  I sponged quite a few times and the seafoam just wasn't showing up so I just left it.  It's too bad; I think it would have been a pretty colour combination.  And would have gone well with the nautical stamping.


Stamped using an image from Star Nails 10 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.


Thanks for looking!

Mouth Breather by CANVAS lacquer


Mouth Breather by CANVAS lacquer** is another polish that is part of the recently released The Upside Down Collection by CANVAS lacquer.  As you can see from this picture, it's a thermal polish; I didn't do anything special to make it go thermal so it's quite sensitive all on its own.  But as you can tell, I run hot and cold all over as all my nails are a little different stages of thermal!  Maybe the hubs is right when he tells me this lol!


Started with a base of three coats of Mouth Breather by CANVAS lacquer.  This is shown with no top coat. This lovely kelly green shade is the cool state which just happened to be my body temperature when I was taking pictures.  And I love it!  While I do like the blue of the warm state, this vibrant green shade is a perfect green for me!  So many options with summer nails, Halloween, perfect green shade for Christmas nails...oh, so many possibilities!


Mouth Breather by CANVAS lacquer is described as:

 a grassy green thermal that transitions to an ocean blue when warm with added golden shimmer and a sprinkle of iridescent glitters.

Shown here with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Added spiders from UberChic Halloween 01 and 02 using FunkyFingers Dark Knight, as well as Star Nails 48 on thumb.

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.


This is Ms. Cindy; she transitioned more but still like a gradient which is all natural; no dipping hands in water or anything!  This is just how I run hot and cold I guess!  (Makes me wonder about my hand circulation....!)


CANVAS lacquer polishes are available via their Etsy shop here!; CANVAS lacquer ships worldwide to select countries.

Thanks for looking!

My apologizes for not getting my Digit-al Dozen posts posted sooner; I had the mani's done for our weekly challenge but didn't have time to do the posts due to being busy with life and work, then getting ready for PolishCon!  This is another mani with four polishes used in total.

Did a sponged gradient using Pure Ice Bikini and Piggy Polish Sleeping Blue-ty.


Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.
