Stamped Green Gradient

It's the Labour Day long weekend here in Canada and the last weekend before school starts next week. Uggggh; I do not look forward to having to get up early again.  As this post goes live, I'll be heading to the Kawartha's for the weekend; the hubs had to work Saturday morning so I decided to stay in town Friday night and will head there with him and DS2 after he finishes work.  

These are the nails I did last weekend in the Kawartha's; I had the rare luxury of being there alone so I cut down my nails and then did these!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Flower Nail Polish Thistle or What?, shown with no top coat.

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

Did a sponged gradient using Flower Polish Good Bud-dy and Flower Polish Thistle or What?

Top coated before stamping.

Stamped using an image from acrylic plate XY-F12 using Funky Fingers Gesso.

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

Enjoy the weekend and be safe if you are out and about!

Thanks for looking!

Negative Space Bird Cage

I thought it was Digit-al Dozen week with our challenge of negative space this month.  Negative space mani's are probably my least favourite type of nails; I think I've done one ever before. However, the challenge doesn't start until next week and I jumped the gun and shared this on IG already so I'm sharing now.  Now I'll have to do six negative space manis over the course of the next couple weeks! Uggg! Here's what I came up with!



Started with a base of two coats of Flower Nail Polish Make My Daylily with accent of just a clear base only.



Applied the stamper decal I had made with an image from Star Nails 57 to accent and topped it (blobbed it a bit too much) with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC(which is why the bottom of the case smeared a bit).



Did a gradient on all fingers but accent using Flower Nail Polish Thistle or That, Make My Daylily and Bluebell of the Ball.  I had bought these at Walmart a couple weeks ago on clearance.



Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

Stamped using an assortment of images from ZZ Vintage 1 using Funky Fingers Dark Knight.

Thanks for looking...and look for five more negative space mani's next week!
