Still Sharing Snowflakes!


I thought it might be a little late to share a snowflake mani but I did see them yesterday when I was out and about doing errands so am going to share them!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with three coats of Zoya Skipper, no top coat.


Added a very light coat of Pahlish Phantasm Test Batch on a couple of nails to accent them.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


UberChic Pretty In Plaid 4



Stamped accent nails using image from UberChic Pretty in Plaid 4 using Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle.


Added lines, not very well, using same plate and Painted Polish Deux 2.0.


I don't think the lines lining up that well matter too much once the nails were stamped with the snowflakes from UberChic Let It Snow using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.  The images were shrunk using a size reducing stamper.


Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

A Lazy Sunday

 Sorry to be MIA again; I was sick for about a week, then had a really busy 10 days or so of work with so many meetings, blah blah, but the end result was that I didn't have much time to do any blog postings so today, I'm having a much needed lazy Sunday and am doing a few posts to schedule while watching movies.   (edit:  I started this on Sunday but didn't finish it until Monday as my lazy Sunday turned into doing chores around the house so it wasn't as lazy as I had hoped!) 


Started with a base of two coats of Red Eyed Lacquer Not Today Red Barron, HHC Halloween 2022, no top coat.  I cannoy say how much I love this polish!  I have a few back up bottles even which says a lot as I don't buy backups of many polishes lately but I do adore it!


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using image from Lesly LS-112 using MdU 91.


Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Images on all fingers except the thumb are from Candy Skull M-006 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  On the thumb, the middle image of the kids is from MdU VZ 126, the family words is from The Stamping Shop Collab - Memes, the word day is from the name of the plate from UC Mini:  St. Patrick's Day 5 and happy, I didn't make note of.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day!💜


Started with a base of Color Club Lily in Paris with accent nails of Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuasion.


Topped accent nails with Pahlish The Archer.


Decided to sponge it on the thumb as well.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Made stamper decals using image from BM-XL355, using Painted Polish Blanc slate, then filled in with Color Club Lily in Paris and applied them on the ring and pinky; however, I had them under a nail dryer, I think a little too long so they dried out pretty badly so cracked badly when placed on the nail, so I had to do some filling with polish and brush.  Middle finger is image stamper decal from Hit the Bottle To Love Or Not To Love 02, using Painted Polish Blanc Slate, then filled in with Color Club Lily in Paris as well, then applied to the nail.  Ring is stamped using image from MoYou Festive 20 using Painted Polish Stamped in Periwinkle.  Lastly, thumb nail is image using BM317 stamped with Painted Polish Stamped in Royalty, then (poor) shadow stamped using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Decided to shadow stamp the ring finger image using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.
