Digit-al Dozen Does Vacation; Day 5

These nails are going to do double duty today; for day 5 of Digit-al Dozen vacation challenge as well as GlamNailsChallenge tropical flowers prompt.  For vacation, these nails represent one of my bucket list items of visiting Hawaii!  There aren't too many places left to visit on my bucket list but Hawaii is definitely one of them!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a stamper smooshy base using Fancy Gloss Neon Yellow, Neon Green, Neon Blue and Tiffany.  No polish base coat; just on clear nails!  I also brush stroked in a few places that were a little dark to me for more interest.  Also, this was one smooshy and it did all five nails!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

GlamNailsChallenge; Bees!

I'm late again for the #glamnailschallenge posting on June 16th which was bees!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a textured base of OPI Emotions with accents of OPI Hate To Burst Your Bubble, both two coats, no top coat.

Stamped using images from BM-422 (pinky and index) using MdU 11 and Messy Mansion MM18 on the rest using MdU 2.  I didn't top coat these nails as its kind of pointless using liquid sands if you do but I do wish I had have because some of the stamping rubbed off the next day before I took them off!

Hope you're having a great day and thanks for looking!

GlamNailsChallenge-Tropical Leaves

I'm running late with the #glamnailschallenge for June 5th; the prompt was tropical leaves!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient of Fancy Gloss Neon Orange, Neon Orange/Yellow and Neon Yellow.  These are the brightest neons I have seen; my fingers were just glowing!  These Fancy Gloss neons gradient flawlessly and without virtually any effort; they are so highly pigmented that I only had to sponge each finger once or twice to get all this colour.  I was seriously impressed!  I found that they were a bit thick to just apply to the nail so did add a few drops of thinner but it didn't seem to affect the coverage; I added enough just to make them a little bit more fluid if that makes sense.

My nails look so much nicer this way; maybe I should do all swatches with this pose lol.  But seriously, just trying to show how glowy these neons are!  So bright!

Stamped using images from MoYou Tropical Collection-12 (pinky and index) and MoYou Tropical Collection 28 (the rest) using MdU 2.

GlamNailsChallenge; Butterflies

I decided to join the #glamnailschallenge for the month of June!  The June 2nd prompt was butterflies; here's what I came up with for it!

Applied Pahlish Sky High Test Batch and Sunny Side Test Batch on various nails and also used as a gradient.  Unfortunately, neither polish are 'great' to do sponged gradients with as they are pretty sheer.  They were good coverage for nail application, just not for sponging.  I ended up hand brushing one or two coats then sponged on more to make a fade.  You will also notice that a lot of the flakies transferred on the gradient nails too; it was because it was many gradient attempts to get them opaque if that makes sense.

Applied KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Lesly Butterflies using FunkyFingers Gesso with dot accents of Lina Feeling Shapely! 02.
