Do You Want To Build A Snowman?

There's a lot of years we don't get enough snow, or good snowman building snow, but this year isn't one of them!  We've already had one snowman on our front lawn and I'm sure there will be more before winter is out!  This is also being used for #MusicManiMonday as believe it or not, there is a song called Do You Want To Build A Snowman?! 

Started with a base of Glam Polish Who Is The Hansomest....Me! over Cupcake White Pop (middle and ring), Orly Midnight Oasis (thumb) and Orly Rise & Shine topped with Emily de Molly It Calls Me Back (index and pinky).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Simply Polished Christmas (snowman on ring), UberChic UC Let It Snow (middle and snowflakes on index and pinky), and MoYou London Noel 19 using MdU 11, 13, 91, Painted Polish Deux 2.0, Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate.

    

Added a few snowflakes on middle from UC Simply Polished and dots using MdU 91 for interest and filler.  I kind of had a mishap with the dot on the thumb as I smudged it when I went to take the picture so had to fix it up a bit.

Christmas Snowflakes!

It's almost Christmas time so I thought I had better start to share some holiday nails.  While the design isn't very holidayish, the colours scream Christmas, so these count.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Wildflower Lacquer Straight Outta St. Olaf and Pahlish Toxic & Timeless, all two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from UberChic Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Used a dotter and polished up the dots on the nails using same stamping polish.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Decided to matte topcoat so added a coat of Essie Matte About You.

The Wildflower with the matte topcoat just makes this look like velvet; my favourite way to wear this polish for sure!  Thanks for looking!

More Snowflakes!

I seem to have a penchant for doing blue nails and snowflakes so unfortunately, you'll have to suffer through a few more of them over the course of the winter including this one!

Started with a base of two coats of BCB Lacquers Azarath Metrion Zinthose! HHC May 2023 plus extra at the tips.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using UberChic UC Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Let It Snow!

Snow is in the forecast today so I thought I could share a snowflake mani.  I did these last year (snow many snowflakes nails; snow time to share them).  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Easy Paris Cosmetics 037, no top coat.  I bought this polish and a few others when I was in Portugel on holiday.  They were very inexpensive, just one euro or a little over $2 CAD with exchange and you don't see that price often nowadays for any polish!  They really aren't unique but I was happy to have bought them as I likely won't be in Europe again and it was cool to have bought something not available here (at least, that I know of lol).

Topped accent nails with Nailed It Dragon Dance, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped images from Creative Shop 182 Basic (thumb, index and pinky), UberChic UC Let It Snow (middle) and UC It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas (ring) using MdU 68.

Shadow stamped the middle and ring finger using same plates, then added snowflakes on thumb, index and pinky from UC Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  The shadow stamping wasn't that much on point on the ring finger but sometimes that how it goes.  

UberChic UC Let It Snow .  If you are looking for a plate with a lot of different snowflake images, this is it!

Still Sharing Snowflakes!

I thought it might be a little late to share a snowflake mani but I did see them yesterday when I was out and about doing errands so am going to share them!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with three coats of Zoya Skipper, no top coat.

Added a very light coat of Pahlish Phantasm Test Batch on a couple of nails to accent them.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UberChic Pretty In Plaid 4

Stamped accent nails using image from UberChic Pretty in Plaid 4 using Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle.

Added lines, not very well, using same plate and Painted Polish Deux 2.0.

I don't think the lines lining up that well matter too much once the nails were stamped with the snowflakes from UberChic Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  The images were shrunk using a size reducing stamper.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
