Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  May you find a pot-o-gold at the end of the rainbow!  

Started with a layered base of CND DC 2521 Quantum Leap (not shown) topped with one thin coat of Glam Polish The Juice is Loose.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using images from MoYou Festive 75 (lines on pinky and index and shamrocks on middle and ring), UberChic UC mini: St. Patrick's Day (thumb) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added shamrocks on index and pinky using Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish using What's Up Nails The Other Side.  The design got lost so I found shamrocks on other plates that actually fit pretty well on Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover, so outlines with Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This is Ms. Cindy; same base polishes and then stamped with an image from UC mini:  St. Patrick's Day 4 (told you it was one of my favourite images as mentioned in last post!)

Thanks for looking!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

This was one of the first St. Pat's Day mani's I did this year and one of my favourites, for sure!

Started with a base of a smooshy stamper base, shown with no top coat.

I used quite a few polishes for this; the first 2 or 3 rows of polishes shown in this pix, which also include some of the polishes used for the stamper decals.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Made a few stamper decals and then applied them.  Images are from MoYou Festive 67 on all nails, except ring, which is UC mini: St. Patrick's Day.

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

The next day, added a coat of matte, which was pretty cool too; the glitter polishes take on a different look.

Thanks for looking!

Going Green!

I'm going green for March, but not in the ecological sense, sorry.  For the first half of March, I'll be  sharing St. Patrick's Day mani's starting with this one.

Started with a base of Pahlish Four Leaf Clover, Pahlish Honeydew and Stella Chroma Forever Twinkle (October 2019 PPU) which is on a white soft focus base.  Love these polishes all together!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped shamrocks using UberChic mini:  St. Patrick's Day using MdU 39, MoYou Festive 75 on the other nails, adding rainbows from Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H14 on the thumb using assortment of MdU and Painted Polish stamping polishes (with a few brush touchups on any stamping imperfections!).  The gold on the thumb is a Pure Ice St. Patrick's Day themed polish that I brushed on but I didn't take note of it sorry, but it was perfect for the pot-o-gold!

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I think that Pahlish Four Leaf Clover is my most favourite St. Patrick's Day polish in my collex and I love the combination of the clovers using the MdU 39 as the stamping polish.  So if you think you have seen this combo before on the blog, you're not mistaken!  Also (and not that it matters), I had a crack on my index nail about halfway down the nail; I used acrylic strengthener on it until it reached the free edge, then cut down to nubs so you will see a bunch of mani's in the mix with these short nails.  Nubs don't mean I don't do my nails; I still do mani's as 1) love to do my nails regardless how short they are or how many hangnails I have or whatever the issue is and 2) still share them as someone out there, with short nails or not, might get some inspiration from them in their own mani's.  There is no shaming on nail length/condition, etc. here!  Please move on if it bothers you!

Another St. Patrick's Day Mani

It's hard to put a spin on St. Patrick's Day mani's with limited images and plates.  To me, anyway.  Only so many ways you can spin a shamrock, leprechaun and rainbows lol.  Anyway, this mani is somewhat close to the first one I posted, mainly because I really liked the look of the shamrocks on the green cream base with the dots.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Lemming Lacquer Peryite with accent nails of Barielle Green With Envy and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Wet My Thistle, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover

Stamped using Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover and UberChic mini: St. Patrick's Day using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few dots using OPI Christmas Gone Plaid.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
