 Thanks for looking - and enjoy the fall season!

Such A Stunning Blue!

This base polish is absolutely stunning; I had to make sure I picked a stamping image that could still allow it's beauty to still be seen through and think I accomplished that.  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of Garden Path Lacquer Stray From The Path (Polish Pickup March 2022), no top coat.




Infinity Nails 164




Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

A Late Summer Daisy

This is probably my most favourite mani that I've done for some time and thought I should share it soon before summer officially ends and I'm on to sharing fall nails.  Here's what I came up with!


Lantern & Wren Backgrounds 3



Started with blue skittles; polishes using starting at thumb are Rogue Lacquer Physical, OPI Duomo Days, Duoma Nights and Sally Hansen Blue Chip, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped lines using Lina Make Your Mark 02 using MdU 91, with accent nails using Wren & Lantern Backgrounds 3 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Added a few more flowers on the lines.


Added floral centers using Painted Polish Stamped in Starfruit.


Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Different lighting.

Abstract Leaves


This isn't my typical style but I do like these for a change every so often.  Unfortunately, my thumb nails was just growing out here but it never stopped me from doing my nails!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of BKind Mojito, with accent nails of Kathleen & Co. Oh It's On (Polish Pickup April 2022).


After topping with KBShimmer Clearly on Top, stamped waves with Nicole Diary-267 using MdU 54 and lines with BP-L006 using MdU 80.


Added leaves using Nicole Diary-196 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.



Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Zigzags!

Really simple stamping but I did try to jazz up the base by doing some layering; did it work?


On a base of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Hydro Electric, topped Etheral Lacquer Spellfrost, then topped with Holo Taco Flakie Holo Taco.  I didn't take pictures of the in-process mani as I didn't think this was a mani I was going to share as this was the time when my thumb was growing out and I was painting my nails regularly but not always taking pictures to share.  


Too pretty to stamp!  But you know I did! Before stamping, topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Then stamped with Marianne Nails n.1 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


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


Slightly different lighting.


Thanks for looking!

Star Burst!

I've been super busy with work so haven't been able to find a great deal of time to do some posts so thanks for sticking around if you are reading this now!  Another blue mani that isn't a floral or daisy, which seems to be what I wear a lot lately!


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


Topped with Fancy Gloss Let's Be Friends (Polish Pickup April 2021), no top coat.



Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



Stamped using an image from Moyra 71 Frozen using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, no top coat.



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



 Also added a coat of matte tc, which always make the flakies pop!
