More Snowflakes!

It's calling for snowy weather today but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the last one this year!


Started with a base of Turtle Tootsie Polish Run, Forest, Run!  This is three coats, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmere Clearly on Top.



Stamped using MoYou London Noel 19 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Topped with a base of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Thanks for looking!

Green Floral and Stripes

Sometimes I surprise myself when a mani is finished; I start with one thing in mind and it ends up totally different!  This is one of those; this really isn't my 'style' of nails but I loved how it turned out when it was all done.  In fact, I've done a few spins on this mani since (some shared already, some not) but this was the one that started it.  It's obviously my style now lol!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of Turtle Tootsies Turn Off The Lights!, no top coat.  I picked this up last year at 2018 Indie Expo Canada in Toronto.  2019 IEC will be held on August 18th with workshops taking place on August 17th.  Do you plan on attending?  


Topped with a thin layer of Fiendish Fancies Princess Without A Voice.  This was a press sample that I received at 2018 Indie Expo Canada; I liked it so much that I bought a full size bottle!


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped stripes using Lina Born To Sail 01 using EdK Lili and flowers using Lina Feeling Shapely! 08 using FunkyFingers Gesso.


Added dots to flower centers using EdK Lili.


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



While I liked the look of the nails, I decided to add more flowers to the striped nails; used same image from Lina Feeling Shapely! 08 using FunkyFingers Gesso, then stamped using EdK Lili.  Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Thanks for looking!

Happy Thanksgiving! Plus Digit-al Dozen Does TV Shows; Day 1

Happy Thanksgiving!  I'm sorry for posting so late but I didn't have time to do my post in advance and didn't expect to spend so much time driving today!  I am thankful to have enjoyed two turkey dinners with family and friends over the weekend and tonight, am enjoying turkey dinner leftovers.  I hope you enjoyed your weekend and have many things in your life to be thankful for!  I'm thankful for many things and thankful if you by chance happen to read this post given blogging is on the downward spiral haha!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a stamper smooshy base of SpaRitual Kindness (which is also solo on the thumb), Turtle Tootsies Tailgating Makes Me Drive Slower!, Sally Hansen CSM Butterscotch and Yummy Yam, Girly Bits Butternut Leave Me Alone and Another Brick in the Fall. Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I made stamper decals using some of the same smooshy base polishes as well as MdU 8, 9, 53, 59 and 106. Images used are Creative Shop 91 (thumb), Delany Automne 003 (index), UberChic UC Mini:  Give Thanks Thanksgiving Special (middle and pinky) and Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 02 (ring).


I thought the words on the ring finger were too faint plus black is on every other finger so shadow stamped (not very well though) using MdU 2.


Topped everything off with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



It's also Digit-al Dozen challenge week; this week our challenge is TV Shows.  So these nails are also going to double duty and one of my favourite TV shows of the past being Married With Children and to tie it into today, the A Bundy Thanksgiving episode!  Oh that show cracked me up so often and I can remember just how different it was and out there compared to anything else being aired at the time.  Here's the youtube link if you care to watch it!

Here's the other ladies Day 1 mani's!
