Cherries!

Another mani I had done for Digit-al Dozen challenge; this one was for stripes.  I think it turned out kinda cool though so thought I would share it now, even though cherry season is over lol.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls.  I don't usually share this base, which is my to go white btw, as I've shared it before, but I thought I did an OK job on the application so thought I'd share it again for the fun of it,  lol.  This is with no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

MoYou Back to the 50's-04

BundleMonster BM-XL 303

Stamped using FUN 15 (thump and pinky), MoYou Back to the 50's 04 (middle) and BundleMonster Basic Instinct BM -XL303 on the rest using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Konad red special polish.

Topped again with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Decided it needed a little bit more to jazz it up a bit so added dots in different sizes and colours using same stamping polishes.

Added one final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Though this mani is pretty simple, I liked how it turned out.  In particular, I like the pinky and thumb nails; I'll have to keep this design in mind sometime to try again in different colours!

Thanks for looking!

Back To School!!

School aged kids are heading back to school although some districts have already started and some are integrating over the next few weeks.  But after a 5 month March break, school started back in my area so I thought I'd do some back to school nails!  Here's what I came up with!

After doing a base coat of white, applied three coats of OPI Need Sunglasses? on index and pinky, then did a stamper smooshy base using it and Color Club Blazed, Gosh Blue Balloon, Nicole by OPI and One Time Lime, then topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, stamped images from What's Up Nails B030 on pinky, index and thumb and the rest with UberChic UC mini:  School is Cool.

What's Up Nails B030

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Here's Ms. Cindy (aka my test hand); I really wanted the school bus image on my nails but it would only fit on the thumb and I wanted the words on it so had to use another image.  

I don't know about you, but I'm anxious to see how kids if kids going back to school is going to have any impact on the spread of COVID-19 in our area; keeping my mask strings crossed it does not.

Full Moon!

As I type this, I'm watching a pretty full moon slowly make it's way across the sky.  So when looking for nails to post, these seem pretty appropriate!  I had originally did these for Digit-al Dozen space theme, but they didn't get posted.  Until now.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Girly Bits Wait For It (Polish PickUp Nov 2017), no top coat.

Added a coat of Seche Diamond Dust.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did some sponging on a couple fingers for the galaxy but didn't make not of which polishes I used, sorry.

What's Up Nails B042

Creative Shop 95

Creative Shop 150

Did double stamping using MdU 97 for the thumb using image from Creative Shop 150, then stamped on images from BM-XL213 (pinky and index), What's Up Nails B042 (ring) and Creative Shop 95 (middle) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

What's kind of crazy is the moon is shimmering over the water right now, just like it is shimmering on the thumb.  The glare of the light makes it look the same.  Cool!

Thanks for looking!

Tropical Sunset!

It's the last hurrah of summer this weekend!  I'm sure it won't be the very last good summer-like weather weekend but the leaves are sure starting to turn colour, the days are shorter and it is getting cooler especially at night, that's for sure!  So let's all pretend we are going to have lots of summery tropical weather like July (hottest on record!) and bask in these tropical nails!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Sally Hansen Violet Voltage, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

After they dried for a bit, did a sponged gradient using same Sally Hansen Violet Voltage as well as KBShimmer Breaking Blues and Color Club Warhol.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Dixie Plates Tropical Paradise using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Enjoy your long weekend if you have one and even if you don't, be safe!

Pandas!

Creative Shop 89

Accented the leaves on the index, middle and pinky using same Painted Polish in Greenery and then added some darker leaves on ring finger using MdU 48.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

More Daisies!

Who else is trying to eek out as much summer as they can??  I'm already seeing leaves on the trees turn colour and I don't think fall will be too much longer!  It's too early for me to be wearing fall colours although I do have a few mani's sitting in archives so you might see some fall nails posted soon!  Especially if the weather continues to turn cold and we see leaves falling!  But no fall nails here today; here is a different spin on the daisy nails I've been sharing.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Different Dimension Big Bang with accent nails of Revlon Sassy; all two coats.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped on Revlon Sassy using image from Marianne Nails XXL 1 with Lina 4 Seasons-Spring 02 on the rest using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Used Revlon Sassy for the center of the daisies.

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
