Super Bowl Nails!

Congrats, 49ers!  

I did these nails for the Super Bowl and was wearing them for the game, just didn't get to share them on the blog before the game.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, then top coated it with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

MoYou London Pro XL-19

MoYou London Pro Collection - 11.  The plates have a lot of the same images, I used plate 11 for these nails but my nails at this time are really short.  If they have any amount of length, I need to use the larger images, which is why I own both.  This need is pretty much eliminated now with the stampers that enlarge images!

MdU AZ Sports 2: Football 1

Started by stamping image from MoYou London Pro-11 using MdU 9.

Kansas image is from MdU VZ 12 on the thumb; San Francisco is MdU AK 35.  For the Kansas image, I stamped first in red and removed the arrow outline, then stamped a second time in black and removed the KC image but each time I used sticky base to get it to stick to the nail, which is why there is liquid look at the image.  But I was pretty excited I did this as I hadn't done this technicque before!  Words on thumb are from Lina Express Your Nails! 01.  Ring and index are from MdU AZ Sports 2:  Football 1, pinky image is UC Uber mini:  Football is life and words on middle is BM-XL181.  Used Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and MdU 9.

Lina Express Your Nails! 01

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I was really happy to see Taylor Swift there supporting her boyfriend, Travis Kelce and Ms. Cindy was all about Trav and Tay!

MdU Music 3

MdU Music 2.  I didn't end up using this plate but I had planned on using it.

Base is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, then used MdU 3 on the ring finger and MdU AZ Sports 2:  Football 1 for the rest of the nails, using MdU 9 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Those lips on the ring finger gave me so much grief but it was worth it as I think they make the mani!  The numbers on this shirt were a different plate but I didn't mark it down but it was another sport plate.

Awkward hand pose but my daughter took this pix of both hands together!

Super Bowl Nails!

Good afternoon!  I'm typing this post as I'm making a pot of chili for the game tonight!  Who else is watching??  I'm not a big football fan so not really rooting for either of the teams but will be watching for the half time show and any new cool commercials.  But I do like do to nails based on the game so here's what I came up with this year!  

Started with a base of Great Lakes Lacquer The Traveling Linguist (thumb), Masura Botanical Garden (middle), and OPI Dahlia Darling on the rest, but all but the ring finger were also topped with a coat of Scofflaw Are You A Veronica or A Betty?

Topped all except middle with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  The middle (I thought) was a texture polish and I wanted the grass texture but it really wasn't much of a texture polish.  I didn't top coat it here but I did later.

  

Made stamper decals for the index and middle using MJ XXIV and AK Coleccion 35 for the ring finger and small football on pinky using MdU 3, 9 and 22; Moyra SP 02 and 05 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Midnight Mischief.  Also added images from UC Sports Fan-01 on middle and pinky.  Gold on index is CND Gold Chrome.

I can't recall which plate this is; I planned on using it but never in the end.

AK Coleccion 35.

Added dots using MdU 9 (the deeper red representing San Fransico) and Moyra Sp. 02 (the brighter red representing Kansas City).  Also added a few gold dots using CND Gold Chrome.  Oh and I did something new (to me) today!  See the NFL logo on the middle?  Well, I first stamped it in navy using Moyra SP 05 and then removed the NFL words.  Made a stamper decal and filled in with the white which was Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Then I stamped it using a different stamper using the red Moyra SP 02 and then removed all but the words.  Then to put it on the nail, I first stamped the blue logo, then stamped the red words on top of the stamper decal.  Thank goodness for clear stampers!  So cool; it gives way more options for stamping doing this.  (I seen this on the MoYou London site; the gal who is their regular nail model had done it.)

   

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Super Bowl 2018!

It's game day and I got my game day nails on!  The chili is on simmer and we are counting down to the start of the game!  Who are you cheering for?  I'm not too much of a football fan to be honest but do like to see the commercials and the half time show!  Here's the nails I'm wearing for the game!

Started with a base of OPI Liquid Sand It's All San Andreas Fault and OPI My Boyfriend Scales walls on middle.  Index is a smooshy base of Color Club Take A Hike, MdU 42 and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  Ring is smooshy base of Misa Dirty, Sexy, Money and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, then dry brushed on more Misa Dirty, Sexy, Money.  Did flocking powder on pinky.  I had taken a few pictures before applying the stamper decal but for some reason, they didn't save.  Applied stamper decals on ring and index using images from Pet'la LE NFL.  Stamper decal on index is Mdu 3, Mdu 9, MdU 1 and Painted Polish Stamped in Clay.  Stamper decal on ring is MdU 2, MdU 1 and Painted Polish Stamped in Clay.

Stamped thumb, middle and pinky using images from UberChic Sports Fan 01 using MdU 1 and 9.

Stamped footballs on middle using image from UberChic Sports Fan-01 using MdU 22.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top on all fingers except thumb and pinky!

Enjoy the game and good luck to your team!

Super Bowl Nails!!

It's Super Bowl Sunday!  We've just started making chili for the game tonight; who else will be watching? These are the nails I'm wearing; I'm not cheering for any team as don't follow or watch enough footfall to really have a favourite so good luck to your team if they are playing tonight!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen Celeb City, Zoya Carey, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and CND Green Scene; all two coats.

 Put a coat of Essie Matte About You on thumb; top coated the rest with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

 I had made a couple stamper decals using the Pet'la LE NFL plate; applied them to the thumb and index.  Stamped middle finger and ring with BM-XL181 and pinky with UberChic UC Sports Fan-01.

Added a bunch of star bursts from BMXL-213 and placed them on thumb, ring and index.  Unfortunately, the words on the ring got stamped off so I had to restamp the words again and do a little touch up.  I've had this happen a couple times now; I guess I should top coat before adding the fillers.

Topped everything off with a final coat of KBShimmer to finish.

Enjoy the game......or the half time show....or the commercials....whatever makes you tune in hahaha!

Super Bowl Nails!

It's Super Bowl Sunday; I'm about halfway in to making the chili we'll be eating while watching the game. We aren't actually big football fans but do watch the Super Bowl every year.  If nothing else, for the commercials, half time show and anthem!  So I don't have a favourite team to cheer for which is why I have both teams on my nails; even when I did Super Bowl manis in 2013, 2014 and last year, again, they are for both teams.  So enjoy the show and hopefully your team will win the Super Bowl!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, L'Oreal Brownie Points and an accent of AstroTurf.

Stamped using assortment of images; UberChic Sports Fan-01 (middle, ring and footballs on index), BundleMonster BM-XL181 (words in index, and pinky), ZZ Super (Panther on thumb) and MJ XXIV (Bronco image on thumb).  Unfortuntely I couldn't find a better Panther image then the one I used on the thumb so sorry to all the Panther fans that its not more accurate!  Stamping polishes used were Funky Fingers Gesso and Dark Knight and assortment of Mundo de Unas; 3, 22 and 53.  

ZZ Super

Bundle Monster Work It! BM-XL181

I got the bright idea to stamp P for Panthers and B for Broncos on the helmets on the pinky, but, um, there was a little technical problem you might pick out.  I was all happy that I was actually able to place it with the clear jelly stamper then did a d'uh move.  Can you pick it out?

But I figured out what I did and corrected it which is the end pix here.

Enjoy the game and thanks for looking!
