XOXO

I've been so into snowflake mani's that I hadn't even given Valentine's Day nails a thought until I seen a few being posted on IG.  So I decided to do a Valentine's Day mani and hope to share more over the next few weeks.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Bee's Knees I Want To Peel You Like A Potato, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Apipila Super Placa B using MdU 68, with accent nail of UC Love & Marriage 04, shadow stamped using MdU 68 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

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

 Thanks for looking!

Yet More Snowflakes!

I'm sorry to be sharing another snowflake but I have so many to share as I went a little snowflake mani crazy for a while once snow finally hit our area but I hope that you at least have enjoyed them.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie The Soundwave, no top coat.

Topped with Pahlish ? Mystery, no top coat.

Snowflakes!

I'm typing this, a big storm system is going through Southern Ontario and I hear the beeping of the snow removal truck on my street after several inches of snow have fallen in just a few hours.  So it's 
a good time to  do a mani with some snowflakes while I watch it falling outside!  By the time of posting, the snowstorm has passed; thankfully, it wasn't as severe as the forecast but it was enough snow to make it miserable for driving.  Here's what I came up with!
  

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Big Bow Energy, no top coat.



Topped with a coat of Atomic Polish She's Got Electric Boobs! (PPU June 23).



Even though I sat the polish overnight upside down and then righted it about an hour before I was going to do my nails, all the glitter stuck to the side of the bottle, which is why there wasn't a lot on my nails.



While I really liked the shimmer in this, it didn't have enough glitter interest for me, so I looked around my stash for a clear polish with white glitter and decided to use Fancy Gloss Crushed Snow, no top coat and this was the what I was looking for.

Just WOW!

Atomic Polish She's Got Electric Boobs is a stunning polish.  As this was from Polish Pickup in June 2023, you'll need to watch for it on the resale market, or hope it is brought back during rewind month.  Maybeeee Atomic offers them on their site as a mystery polish which a lot of makers do, but I can't say for sure to check it out!  I checked, it is available so run and catch it while you can!

Be safe if you're in the snow zone and travelling this weekend!  Sorry for so many pictures but I can't pick some of them to delete so they'll have to stay.  

Sparkly Snowflakes!

These nails are as sparkly as the glitter of a fresh snow fall in the sun!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Avenue Maintain, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of  FUN Lacquer Snowing, no top coat.

Different Lighting.  This is such an awesome combination!

 This is so pretty!  I should wear it again soon as its been a couple years that I wore these nails!

More Snowflakes!

We had a bit of snow again last night so it looks like winter has finally arrived.  Time to share another snowflake mani; here's what I came up with! 

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimenion Mystery Proto 343, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped plaid using Creative Shop Basic 182 using MdU 01, with snowflakes from EJB-03 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Added a few more snowflakes using same EJB-03 plate over the plaid.

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

Snowflakes!

We finally had some snow on New Year's Eve, so I think it's time that I shared some snowflakes nails,  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of skittles using Picture Polish Royal (index and pinky), Picture Polish Heaven (ring) and Moonshine Mani See You in Six Months; all three coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from MoYou Noel 08, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Happy 2024!

2024 is here!  Happy New Year!

Started with a base of Painted Polish Dreaming In Polish, on two coats of Cupcake Polish White Pop, no topcoat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After making stamper decals using images from SugarBubbles SBS031, applied them to the nail.  Used Painted Polish Midnight Mischief for the outline, then filled in using MdU 26, 50, 83 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

SBS031

Shadow stamped words on thumb and numbers on ring using MdU 83 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate using images from Powder Perfect Celebration 1.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  I want to point out the letter E on the thumb in the word 'New".  See the picture above, the letter is perfect.  That's because I stamped it and it was.  Then I got up and got a glass of water and somewhere along the lines, the E fell off the nail.  So I stamped a replacement and it too was perfect.  Except when I went to top coat it, it folded.  I'm like, are you kidding me?!?  So I stamped it again and it's not so clear as the folded E is still there and I didn't want to risk trying to remove it because those letters are so darn small.  

Thanks for looking and all the best in 2024!
