We Wish You A Merry Christmas!

Christmas is just around the corner; where did the time go?  And before we know it, 2026 will be here.  Like, really, where did the time go?  There is no time like the present to wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2026!

Started with a base of two coats of ILNP Christmas Cookies, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from CjS C-25 using Konad Red and CjS 218 on all fingers, except the thumb, which is Dixie Plates Christmas 2017 using MdU 11, Konad Red and CjS 218.

Best Autumn Ever!

I'm not sure if it has been the best autumn every but I thought I should share some more fall nails before the snow falls, which, if the forecast is correct, is suppose to be in the morning.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of CND Denim Patch, no top coat.  I love this shade of blue!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Lina 4 Seasons-Autumn 03 on all nails except for ring, which is CjS LC-57, using MdU 54, 66, 107 and Konad red special stamping polish.

I contemplated adding dots, or small leaves, or something but decided to leave it as is.  So topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 While I type this post, the skies are clear and  it's very peaceful; however, if the forecast is right, we are in for a whole lot of snow tomorrow.  Please be extra safe as it seems that everyone forgets what it's like to drive in the snow each year, especially the first snow!

Hello Fall!

Fall officially arrived on September 22nd and I've been doing fall mani's ever since!  This was the first one I did for the season; here's what I came up with!

Started with a skittle of fall colours; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  Painted Polish Go Big or Gourd Home, OPI Ochre the Moon, Orly Yam It Up, Orly Caught Off Gourd and CND Willow Talk.  Two coats, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from WH-03 on ring; the rest are from Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-318.  Stamping polishes are MdU 13, 53, 66, 106, Konad Red Special Polish and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  The shadow stamping on the ring was a major fail, but I think the first colour is a nice accent base none the less!

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

JAWS for Shark Week!

I watched the 50 year anniversary documentary on Jaws, which was really interesting!  Lots of background on what went into the making of it with great interviews with Steven Spielberg, Emily Blunt, George Lucas, and so many others.  Around the same time, I seen all the commercials for Shark Week, which started yesterday, so I thought it would be a great time to do a Jaws theme mani.  I also decided that I was going to do a new series to basically challenge myself to do some more interesting manis as I need some mani inspiration!  So I'm going to do Music Mani Monday's, and pair music with the mani.  For this first Music Mani Monday mani, who can forget the famous Jaws music!  Da-dum. Da-dum. Da-dum da-dum da-dum da-dum daaaaaaaa.  If you want to see the nails with the music, check them out on my IG page!

Started with a base of Sally Hansen Did I Blue That? and Lakur Silver Birch.  I know the coverage wasn't the best but I knew I'd be doing a gradient and hoped it would cover it.  Which wasn't the best but I'll know for next time!

UberChic Seas the Day

MdU Jaws

MoYou London Jaws Collection-01

KADS Ocean 009

MrFox LB018

Did a sponged gradient using Sally Hansen Did I Blue That?, Sally Hansen Dockside Dreaming and Sally Hansen Draw Blue in, no top coat.  I forgot that I was taking pix to share this mani as occasionally I paint my nails just to wear them plain and haven't been taking pix, so there's some stamping here but I'll share plate info below with the rest of them.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Used Kads Ocean 009 (pinky), UberChic Seas the Day (thumb), Mr. Fox LB018 (middle fin and on index), MdU Jaws (ring) and MoYou London Jaws Collection-01 (words on middle).  Stamping polishes are red Konad special polish and Painted Polish  Midnight Mischief.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, no top coat.  The thumb also has a coat of Painted Polish 2019. 

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

CjS H-113

Stamped using Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-257 for all images except the word Happy and the heart, which is from CjS H-113, using MdU 11 and Konad Red and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

Did Ms. Cindy slightly different but still cool using same plates and polishes.

Happy Canada Day!

Back to Sharing Blues!

I just took this design off last night after wearing them for the last few days.  Too busy over the weekend to do any mani change; good thing I liked how they turned out!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Push Play, no top coat.

Topped with a coat of Nailed It Life Orb (HHC May 2023), no top coat.

4th of July Nails!

 I did 4th of July nails too on Independence Day, but didn't get to share them on the blog either, so am sharing now!

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-62

Maniology M327

Started with a base of skittles; Sally Hansen A Moo Point, Sinful Colors Endless Blue and Orly Monroe's Red, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Wistonia American Pride with Painted Polish Blanc Slate on middle and ring, Maniology M327 for words on thumb and CjS-62 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, MdU 73 and red Konad Special Polish.

I tried to shadow stamp the words on the thumb but it didn't turn out so great because I wanted some blue on the thumb to balance the colours, so removed it and stamped again but used MdU 73 for words on thumb instead.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Hope you had a great 4th of July if you celebrated!
