Trick or Treat !

I like to make non traditional colours for holiday themed nails and this is one Halloween themed nail that isn't in a traditional Halloween colour.  But it's still cute!

Started with a base of two coats of China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.  This is one of my favourite polishes to use and one of the few bottles of polish that I own that has a fill line.  Good thing I have a back up bottle already!  Accent nail is Lilypad Lacquer You Will Respect My Authoritahh! PPU July 2024.

Topped a couple more nails with Emily de Molly Guiding Light.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

CjS H-78

CjS H-36

CjS H-56

I've been obsessed with layered stamping lately (if only my skills were better!) but it doesn't stop me from doing them time and time again, so used a few different layered images.  Used CjS H-36 (pinky and index), CjS H-78 (middle), CjS H-56 (thumb), and CjS H-43 (ring) using MdU 11, 52, Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Stamped in Midnight and Stamped in Slate.  Words on the thumb are from Marianne Nails n.130.

Added bats using CjS H-36 amd stars from CjS H-78 for filler and interest.  Shadow stamped words on the thumb a few times to make it stand out.

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

Leaves are Falling!

This mani came about for no reason other than I was in the middle of doing fall nails and felt like wearing green polish.  Sometimes it is just that simple.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Zoya Shawn, no top coat.  Did between 2 to 3 coats as 2 wasn't enough on all the nails.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using What's Up Nails B 033 using MdU 9, 13, 106, 107, CjS 151 and 245.  Accent nail is UC mini:  hello fall & Pumpkin Spice an Nicole Diary-196. I used a shrinking stamper for the words on the ring finger to fit.

Fall Leaves!

We have more seasonal daytime temperatures now and the nights are really dipping, so there will be lots of fall colour soon.  My favourite time of year; can't wait to see more leaves changing!  Here's another fall mani that I did not too long ago!

Polishes used, starting at the thumb and going clockwise:  Painted Polish Cobra Clarity, Girly Bits Butternut Leave Me Alone, Etheral Lacquer Viper, Chance Nail Lacquer 303, and Cirque Urbanized.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318 using MdU 9, 13, 106 and 107, outlined in Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Accent nail is Lina 4 Seasons Autumn 03 with same polishes.

I thought the thumb looked a little bare when the leaves on all leaves were outlined but not on the thumb, so handpainted an outlined them with polish and brush, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
