St Patrick’s Nails!

Here's one of the St. Patrick's Day mani's I did this year.  I think they turned out pretty cool and hope they inspire anyone with very short nails. 


Used Painted Polish Celtic Crelly (ring), Chance 080 (thumb), DND 2521 (ring, middle and pinky) and topped Shleee Polish Fauna on top of the index and ring fingers.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped with an image from Lantern & Wren Stamp All Clover on pinky and ring using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Lantern & Wren A Wee Bit Irish on the middle using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Woodland Whimsey, BeautyBigBang XL-067 on thumb using Painted Polish Blanc Slate and lately, CjS H-50 on middle using MdU 80, What's Up Nails The Other Side and Painted Polish Woodland Whimsey. 


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


These nails were done less than a week ago; as you can see they are just growing out, which is why I haven't done more than a couple St. Patrick's Day nails.  Buttttt, a day or so ago, I noticed what looked like a little free edge so clipped one nail down even more so no more mani's for a few days.

Thanks for looking!

Barbie!

Today is National Barbie Day and I did these nails to commemorate it!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of pink skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Essie Bermuda Shorts, China Glaze I'll Pink To That, OPI Suzi Has a Swede Tooth, OPI Makeout-side and Sally Hansen Pink Cadilaquer, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


MdU ZZ Barbie


Stamped using MoYou London Pro Collection 15 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Stamped using images from MdU ZZ Barbie using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, no top coat.


Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I was one of those kids who played with Barbie's with my friends.  We made a Barbie house with many levels, Barbie vehicles, Barbie beaches, sewed clothes for all the Barbie, did their hair, their nails, etc.  So much time by myself and my friends playing with Barbie's!  I also spent a lot of time looking for Barbie accessories.  I had Barbies that had shoes that didn't fit that well and was constantly looking for a shoe or boot that had fallen off!  Also, the earrings and ring that often fell out and were so small and I searched forever looking for them all the time as I liked to keep things all together and it would bother me until I found them lol.  Come to think of it, I still have those Barbie's someplace in the basement.  I hope my grandkids like to play with Barbie's as much as I did!

Aloha!


I think I've shared enough winter nails for the season, although I do have a few more nails that I haven't shared and they might show up between now and spring!  But I'm thinking of warmer weather, so am going to share a few tropical or nautical nails over the next little while.  Starting with this one! I love the look of these nails; it's hard to believe that I did them almost  5 (!) years ago!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a stamper smoosh base using Fancy Gloss Neon Yellow, Neon Green, and Neon Blue.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


MoYou Tropical Collection-17


Stamped using MoYou London Collection-17 using Funky Fingers Dark Knight.  


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