The Chains!

Raise your hand if you have an Amazon playlist? ✋ I don't know how popular they are but I know for me, I really appreciate having it because there is nothing better than having all your favourite songs in one place, that you can play on repeat!  Love it!  It's on frequent play when I'm doing my nails.  And do you know what my number 1 spot song is?   Drumrolllll:  The Chains by Fleetwood Mac.  Love it!  So these nails for #MusicManiMonday are inspired by my #1 spot song on my playlist.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Maren, no top coat.

While stun-ning, one of my favourite things to do is layer polishes, so added a coat of Glam Polish Part of Your World, no top coat.  Stun-ning-er lol!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Infinity 157 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

Topped with another coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

The next day, added a coat of Essie Matte About You to show off the flakies.

Outdoor, overcast skies makes flakies POP, so here are a couple pix outside to show them off!

 Do you prefer glossy or matte?  Please let me know in the comments!

Another St. Patrick's Day Mani

Look at me; doing a second St. Patrick's Day mani in one day!  I had done quite a few St. Pats manis but time got away from me and I didn't get them shared, so while I have a good start to next years themed manis, I wanted to share another as I have them ready to share.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle base of Pahlish Wild Lands (pinky, middle, index), Painted Polish Irish You Luck on Cupcake White Pop (ring) and Zoya Tilda (thumb).

Topped thumb with Glam Polish Wicked Cute.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using CjS H-103 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, MdU 50, MdU 8 and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey.  Stamped index and pinky with image from BeautyBigBang XL-067 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, and ring and middle with image from Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish, having shrunk the words on the ring finger, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and MdU 39.

Shadow stamped middle with MdU 39 and ring with Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey.

Added small shamrocks on ring, middle and thumb using image from CjS H-50 Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey.

St. Patrick's Day Nails

 

I have a few St. Patrick's Day nails to share. These were the nails that I wore last St. Patrick's Day.  I didn't share them as I already had others that I had to post but thought I'd share them this year.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Tilda, then topped with Fancy Gloss Clover and Out.  I did these nails quickly and didn't think I was going to share them, so didn't take pictures of the entire mani as I normally do.

After topping with KBShimmer Clearly on Top, stamped with UC Mini:  St. Patrick's Day 4.

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

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  No matter if you celebrate with the one you love, or it's just another day, have a great one no matter what you do.  To me, it's just another day with the one I love lol.  We are past our celebrating days and it will be a quiet day at home just like any other day.  The past few years, we've also given the same VDay cards to each other as we don't see the sense of spending money unnecessarily or going out to eat when we can enjoy what we have at home.  That might be a downer to some, but that's how it is after 33 years.

Started with a base of skittles:  Bluebird Making Pour Decisions (thumb), KBShimmer Before & Aster (index), Zoya Lena (middle), Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuassion (ring) and Pahlish The Archer (pinky), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

MdU VP SV 3

Born Pretty Valentine's Day

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Have a wonderful Valentine's no matter what you do!

There's not much more traditional for Valentine's day as a red and white nail and so many hearts!

Stamped using images from SugarBubbles SBS 031 (thumb), SugarBubbles SBS12 (middle), MouTeen-197 (cheers and you on the ring), Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-48 (pinky, index and numbers on ring).  Used Hit The Bottle To Have and To Gold and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief stamping polishes.  I didn't see the stamping on the middle finger on my skin until after I had taken this picture and did the next step.  D'uh!

Added words To and You with image from Moyra 111 Editor and shadow stamped the other words.  Still didn't see the stamping on the middle finger that extended onto the skin.

Here, I finally seen it and fixed it lol!

Added some starbursts/fireworks on thumb, index and middle using CjS H48

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This is one of those manis that you think the details will shine when its matte topcoated, so added a layer of Essie Matte About You.  I'm divided which version I like better!

All the best to you in 2026!  This is your year and I sincerely wish you and yours the very best!
