Whale Tail

One of my favourite things  is go when in the right water and time of year is to go whale watching.  I'm lucky that I've seen whales several times while on holiday, up in Alaska and down in Hawaii, and it was seeing them that inspired these nails.  Here's what I came up with!!!

Started with a coat of Essie In the Cab-ana, no top coat.

Topped accents nails using KBShimmer Chill Out (reflective), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped accent nails using image from Apipila P62 with MdU 91.

Stamped the middle and ring using same Apipilia P62 plate, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Shadow stamped the tails using CjS 165.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 While I'm happy I've seen whales, my next hope is that I can see a whale breach; it's on my bucket list!

St Patrick’s Nails!

Here's one of the St. Patrick's Day mani's I did this year.  I think they turned out pretty cool and hope they inspire anyone with very short nails. 

Used Painted Polish Celtic Crelly (ring), Chance 080 (thumb), DND 2521 (ring, middle and pinky) and topped Shleee Polish Fauna on top of the index and ring fingers.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover on pinky and ring using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish on the middle using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey, BeautyBigBang XL-067 on thumb using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and lately, CjS H-50 on middle using MdU 80, What's Up Nails The Other Side and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

These nails were done less than a week ago; as you can see they are just growing out, which is why I haven't done more than a couple St. Patrick's Day nails.  Buttttt, a day or so ago, I noticed what looked like a little free edge so clipped one nail down even more so no more mani's for a few days.

Thanks for looking! 

More Flowers!

Another day, another floral mani!

Started with a base of BKind Sauble Beach, two coats, no top coat.  (Fun fact:  I was about 10 kms from Sauble Beach when I did my nails with this polish!)  I love this colour; so much so that I wore it two mani's in a row.  BUT, you would never know that the same polish was used as they look so different.  I got this at Winners and feel I need a backup bottle as I love it so!

Topped accent nails with KBShimmer Chill Out (reflective).  Another polish that I use so often and feel I need a backup bottle of it too!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Born to Sail 01 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.

CjS-238

Stamped using CjS-238 using MdU 89 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate, and both polish outlines are MdU 73.  The stamping didn't show up that well so I had to stamp the base 3 and 4 times to make it opaque enough over the base and stamping so the stamping isn't perfect but all in all, I was happy how it turned out.

Added some dots to the floral centers using the same floral base polishes.

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

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July to all my American nail pals!

Started with a base of Fancy Gloss Blue Starlight, Fancy Floss Red Starlight and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls topped with Fancy Gloss Reflective Topper on the accent.  Please excuse the middle finger mess up; the reflective topper pulled the base coat; I'm not sure if I applied too much pressure or there was something on the brush, all I know is that this was the end result.  Although it doesn't look too great here, I didn't change it as I knew the stamping would cover most of it.

Stamped using AZ 4th of July using Konad Red special polish and Clear Jelly Stamper 013 stamping polish on the middle and BeautyBigBang 043 on the rest using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.
