Spring Is In The Air!

Spring is in the air!  We've had warm temperatures and lots of rain...typical spring weather!  To me, these nails scream spring too, so I thought I'd share them now.  Here's what I came up with!

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

Topped with Glam Polish Sunset Surf (Group Custom 2023), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from UC 15-02 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Welcome Spring!

Spring officially arrives today at 10:46 am so I'm sharing the spring-esque nails on the dot of spring.  Right colours, wrong flowers but daisies will be out soon enough!  

Started with a base of Cirque Matcha (index and pinky), Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Pink Cadillaquer (middle and ring) and Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Fuchsia Fever (thumb), no top coat, all on a coat of Cupcake White Pop.

Topped with a coat of Noodles Snowkissed, one thin.  I rediscovered this polish when I was pulling green polishes for St. Patrick's Day nails and seen this one sitting there and I thought it would be perfect for a spring mani.  And here we are!  Cirque Matcha was one of the greens I had pulled for St. Patrick's Day nails as well.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from SdP-67 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  This is a full nail image and is isolated an image and enlarged it using the sizing stamper and placed them several times on the middle and ring fingers.

Dotted centers of the polishes using the same base polishes.

Topped with Girly Bits Glitter Glaze to smooth the glitter, then topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is my Dad's birthday, and he also shared his birthday with Elvis, who happens to be his favourite singer, so I'm doing my annual Elvis tribute nails to celebrate my dad!  Hope you have a great day and year, Dad!

I was looking through my prior posts and noticed that I always seem to do Elvin nails on a white base with black stamping, so I decided I wanted to do really bright nails this year.  Started with a base of two coats of KBShimmer Mix It Up, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using image from MdU Elvis using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Did Ms. Cindy different using images from the same stamping plate.

Added a few star bursts from Maniology M001 for interest and filler.

 Dad, I hope you had a great day and have a fabulous year!

Smile!

I hope these put a smile to your face!

Started with a base of Color Vibe Feelin' It, three coats, no top coat, over a base of Cupcake White Pop.

Maniology M329

Topped with Pahlish Jaq & Gus, no top coat.  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with image from Maniology M329 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  Unfortunately, I didn't stamp the index fully to the end of the nail and I didn't notice until I had finished my nails as this could have been an easy fix with some polish and a brush.  Not visible IRL anyway, but still irked me.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

 Hope you have a great day and remember to smile at least once today...and several times if you're lucky!

Flowers That Aren't Daisies!

I had to really go back through the archives to find a mani that isn't blue or flowers.  Oops, this one has flowers, but not daisies.  I can't help it; I love the daisy mani's!  So enjoy this and be thankful it's not blue or daisies!

Started with a base of Butter London Sing, no top coat.  Such a stunning colour!

Topped with Lollipop Lacquer To San Antonio, with Love (PPU June 2020).  No top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Spring on Nails!

My nails are still recovering so I don't have any Easter nails to share this year, plus I won't be home for Easter this year anyway, but I thought these nails are the epitome of Spring so am sharing them now.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Got Carried Away and Powers of Persussion, no top coat.

Topped with a think coat of Glam Polish Blues Dressed Up Like Rock n Roll, no top coat.
