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!

Digit-al Dozen Does Texture; Day 5

The last of the texture mani's for Digit-al Dozen challenge week!  I was so happy the new MoYou plates arrived just in time to use for today's mani; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of American Apparel Downtown LA on all fingers except accent which is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no topcoat.

Added two coats of OPI Matte on all except accent.

Stamped using FUN black stamping polish using MoYou Hipster Collection-06 on all fingers except thumb which is MoYou Hipster-05.



 Added stamping to accent using which is MoYou Hipster-01.


MoYou Hipster Collection-05



MoYou Hipster Collection-06


MoYou Hipster Collection-01




Decided to matte the stamping; there was some minor streaking, but nothing too visible to the naked eye.



Added a little flocking powder to the beard.



I did my test hand a little different; added a coat of Dance Legend Top Sahara for what I thought would be a textured look but all I seen was some silver sparkle, no texture!  Don't know if this is the norm or what but I was expecting some texture lol.  Anyway, used same plates just different images and matted the stamping as well.


Here's the other Day 5 mani's!  That's it for Digit-al Dozen texture challenge....there have been so many outstanding mani's this week!

Digit-al Dozen Does Texture; Day 4

I'm a day late getting this post up...the stat holiday today just means cramming the same amount of weekly work into 4 days versus doing it in 5....just longer hours all week for me....by the time I got home yesterday, I was just too tired to do the post!  Sometimes, it seems hardly worth taking the day off.....then, today, I woke up not feeling the best.....anywayyyy, enough excuses lol..... we are still on texture week for Digit-al Dozen; here's the mani I came up with for Day 4!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff on all fingers except accent, which is L'Oreal The Palace Life, topped with SV.  

Stamped using MoYou Festive-14 (pinky), W212 (thumb), W105 (index) and MoYou Festive-09 (middle and ring).  Stamping polishes are white Konad, black, bubble blue and avocado FUN, Mundo de Unas 15 and 16.

W212

Using assortment of jelly polishes (L'Oreal Miss Pixie, L'Oreal Mango Mamma, OPI I'm Never Amberrassed, and OPI Don't Violet Me Down), coloured eggs on index finger.

Added dots using texture polishes; Sinful Ruby Mine, Nicole by OPI Lilac Gumdrops, Nicole by OPI Candy is Dandy and Kiko 643.

I was really trying to leave big dollops of the texture polish to get a raised look...here's a close up to show how much!

Decided to outline the eggs on the index using Sinful Ruby Mine.  

Added flocking powder on index, middle and ring fingers.  

Added a few more dots on middle to finish.  Left like this; no topcoat on any nails.

Here's the other ladies Day 4 mani's!

Digit-al Dozen Does Texture; Day 2

With Easter just around the corner, I thought it would be cool to create an Easter mani using texture for one of the DD texture challenges.....this mani is also going to do double duty as it's my entry in the Nail Polish Canada Easter contest; if you are interested in voting, please go here and vote for your favourite!

I've never used flocking powder before so wasn't sure how it was for coverage, so I started with a thin coat of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. Doing each finger individually, I applied a clear coat on the nail then sprinkled the flocking powder on my nails (except the thumb which I dipped into the pot but think it was too heavy).  I did this on top of a piece of paper and then took a fan brush and removed any excess onto the paper.  When I was done, put the excess back into the flocking pot.  

See on my thumb near the right side, about half way, how thick it is? That's why I sprinkled on the rest!  

Stamped using FUN black stamping polish using MoYou Festive-09 (ring, middle and thumb), Nailways Springtime 0006 (pinky) and Bunny Nails HD-b (index).  The pink is Mundo de Unas #15.  The second, lower bunny on the pinky didn't stamp that well and I did most of it by brush lol!

MoYou Festive-09

Added a bit more colour using Mundo de Unas #15 to finish.

As much as I loved the look of this, I didn't have great wear with this.  Less than 24 hours, this is what my nails looked like.  I found that almost instantly, when I washed my hands or dried them on a towel, the black smudged off and got progressively worse until there was nothing left!  I don't know if a different black stamping polish would have better overall results as clearly, the pink stayed on well.  I'll have to try it again to see!  I had no problem getting the flocking powder off; removal was just as easy as regular polish which was a plus!

Here's the other ladies Day 2 texture mani's; be sure to check them out!
