Another Snowflake Mani!

This isn't my typical style of stamping but I didn't mind how it turned out.  In fact, I think they turned out pretty cool! Of course, I'm late to the party; these mani's have been around for a while now and this is my first!  Hopefully I'll be able to do more!

Born Pretty Snowflake-L001

Started with a base of three coats of Masura Coolness of Evening Lake, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Stamped using images from Finger Angel XL10 using MdU 78 and 126.

Added snowflake image from Born Pretty Snowflake-L001 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few extra snowflakes from Creative Shop155, then topped using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

This was Ms. Cindy; I actually thought this hand turned out better than the other one!  I really like the lines; hopefully I'll remember to use that stamp in a future mani.

Let It Snow!

Tis the season...for snow, that is!  We've had a couple light dustings including a little last night but I've been doing snowflake mani's for weeks now so think I'm set to share them regularly until April 2022 at least!  The one being shared now was a favourite; mainly because the glitter looks like snowflakes..or maybe hail pellets!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of unlabeled Color Club microglitter, mixed with holo microglitter.  This is 3 coats; could have added a bit more as I can see some bare nail in the pix but it wasn't so obvious IRL.  Also, I did use a peel off basecoat which helped with removal.  Pictures don't do it justice!  A quick google search indicates this might be called Fairytale Ending, but not 100% sure.  This is the problem with those 7 pack of polishes bought at Winners lately; no labels on them.  The earlier ones sold had labels but they haven't for a while now.  Irritating but what can you do?  The deal of $9.99 for 7 polishes is too good to pass up!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Decided to do some shadow stamping; started with Hit the Bottle Do It In Denim! using MoYou Festive 06 with accent nail of Marianne Professionals n.31.  I love this shade of blue; very unique in my stamping polish collection.

Shadow stamped using Hit the Bottle Midnight Ink.  

Topped with a couple coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Glossy and bright lighting; can see the holo a bit better in this pix!

This is about as much snow as I want to see; a bit on my nails!  But living in Ontario, I know this isn't the only snow I'll see, nor the little dusting we had overnight.  We just need to roll with it!

Sweater Weather!

It's time for some cooler temperature nails; I've been wearing sweaters at least part of the day for at least a month now so I thought it would only make sense to share a sweater mani as it is sweater weather!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient base of Painted Polish Beachy Keen, Venice Beach Babe and Pardon My French Roast 2.0.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief using Messy Mansion MM40 and UberChic Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Give Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US nail pals!  

I did this mani for Thanksgiving Day here in Canada put didn't get to share it in all the social media places as I was living in the moment and spending my Thanksgiving with family and friends and wasn't really on social media much.  So am sharing it now!

Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise; Sally Hansen Butterscotch, OPI Suzi Needs a Loch-Smith, Yves St. Laurent Sultan, OPI Have Your Panettone and Eat It Too, and Essie You Know the Espadrille, no top coat.

Topped with Polished for Days Enchanted.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

UberChic Mini:  Give Thanks 2

Stamped using MoYou Fall in Love 06 (index, pinky and accents on middle and ring), UberChic Mini:  Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice (middle and ring) and UberChic Mini:  Give Thanks 2, using MdU 9, 13, 39, 66, 106, and 107.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

The next day, I also put a matte top coat on it, thinking the flakies would show up a little bit better.

Fall Gradient!

This isn't my typical style but I still liked how it turned out.

I did a sponged gradient using these three polishes; fall in bottles!

This is the gradient using China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin, China Glaze Deserrt Sun and OPI Suzi Needs A Loch-Smith.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Nicole Diary-L38 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Shadow stamped using image from Lina Make Your Mark 08 using MdU 74 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Let's Watch the Leaves Turn!

With the cooler weather lately, the leaves are starting to turn and fall more and more so tthis mani is pretty appropriate to share now!

Started with a base of three coats of Whim Moody Blues then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 2 with accent of UberChic UC Mini:  Hello Fall & Pumpkin Spice 2 using MdU 59, 66, 106 and 107.

Added a few dots using MdU 66 for some interest and filler.
