Full Moon!

As I type this, I'm watching a pretty full moon slowly make it's way across the sky.  So when looking for nails to post, these seem pretty appropriate!  I had originally did these for Digit-al Dozen space theme, but they didn't get posted.  Until now.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Girly Bits Wait For It (Polish PickUp Nov 2017), no top coat.

Added a coat of Seche Diamond Dust.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did some sponging on a couple fingers for the galaxy but didn't make not of which polishes I used, sorry.

What's Up Nails B042

Creative Shop 95

Creative Shop 150

Did double stamping using MdU 97 for the thumb using image from Creative Shop 150, then stamped on images from BM-XL213 (pinky and index), What's Up Nails B042 (ring) and Creative Shop 95 (middle) using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

Finished with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

What's kind of crazy is the moon is shimmering over the water right now, just like it is shimmering on the thumb.  The glare of the light makes it look the same.  Cool!

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Look Up; Day 3

I've had a hectic week and yesterday's dumping of snow didn't help it at all so I'm behind in getting my Digit-al Dozen posts up.  With the time change last weekend and with it now being dark at 5ish pm, I've been seeing a lot of stars at night now especially given that I leave work at 8 or 9 pm most nights lately which is what I came up with on day 3 of our look up challenge!

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Pinta.

Added a coat of Etheral Lacquer Moonlit Machete from September 2018 Polish Pickup.

This low lighting pix shows flakies a bit better.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sponged Zoya Julie and Paint It Pretty Polish Indigo Rises.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. A couple of the nails weren't very happy with all the coats of polish in such a short time and kinda wrinkled but as I was doing these nails one morning before work, I didn't have time for them to settle down.  But they did once dry.

Stamped using images from BundleMonster BM-XL213 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Low lighting pix shows some of those flakies a little better....the ones I didn't sponge over anyway lol.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish. 

Low light again.

Here's the other ladies day 3 mani's!

Digit-al Dozen Does Stamping; Day 3

I've had this mani in the archives for a bit; well a long while as it goes back to November 6, 2014!  You know it's been a while as I don't wear my nails this long now.  Rarely anyway.  But I think this turned out pretty cool and thought it would be a great time to share as part of the Digit-al Dozen stamping challenge so this is what I came up with for day 3!

Started with one coat of Quo by Orly True Blue, no top coat.

Sponged on Quo by Orly Baby Blues.

Then sponged on FingerPaints Leonardo's Lime.

Added a coat of OPI The Man with the Golden Gun.

Stamped using images from MoYou Sailor Collection-05.

I even did Cindy; she didn't turn out too badly either!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I haven't stamped like this in a long while; I think I need to revisit this soon!

Here's the other ladies day 3 mani's.!

St. Patrick's Day Nails!

I've been going through the archives and came across this mani I did last year for St. Patrick's Day but didn't get around to sharing.  Seeing how St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, I thought I'd share it now; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Exotic Green, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Sponged China Glaze This is Tree-Mendous at the base for some interest.

Added KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using FunkyFingers Gesso using an image from MoYou Festive Collection-21.

Added small shamrocks from the same plate to a couple nails as added interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I hope to share a few more St. Patrick's Day mani between now and the 17th or I guess I can share them next year like this year lol!  Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Futuristic; Day 2

For Day 2 of the Digit-al Dozen Futuristic theme, I did galaxy nails with someone floating out in space, as in maybe in the future, we might to go space for the weekend like we go to the cottage for the weekend!   Wouldn't that be cool???!! 

Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Star Gazer 305; this is three coats.  While it is beautiful, it was still patchy and oh, the tips; I couldn't get polish to stick to them no matter what!  I didn't worry too much about it as I knew I'd be sponging and would make sure they got covered.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

For my attempt at galaxy nails, sponged on Pahlish Boo-Ya!



Then sponged on Nails Inc. Regents Place, then a little FunkyFingers Gesso here and there.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I made a stamper decal using an image from Creative Shop 29.

After cutting out the stars, applied to thumb.

Then stamped using my most favourite star image from the same plate, Creative Shop 29.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Here's the other ladies Day 2 futuristic nails!

Digit-al Dozen Does Rainforest: Day 3

Sorry I'm late for Day 3 of Digit-al Dozen rainforest nails; unfortunately, life got in the way!  Today, I'm sharing these gorilla nails; I was pretty happy how they turned out!  

Started with a base of Quo by Orly Nude, two coats.

Sponged on American Apparel Army Jacket, American Apparel MacArthur, Maybelline Go Go Green and Essence Walk On The Wild Side.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

My nails are fairly long here (for me, anyway!) and I was itching to cut them down but had planned this mani in advance a while ago.  (It may seem odd to plan in advance for some, but I know what the DD challenges are and some other things I participate in, so I go through all my plates every so often and pull them and gather ideas of what I'm doing to do, say even for mani themes months in advance!) So I had been waiting until they got a good length so that the thumb image from Bundle Monster S153 would fit.  I was in luck as it justtttt fit.  Added accent images from MoYou Literature Collection-08; both images using Funky Fingers Dark Knight.

Bundle Monster BM-S153

MoYou Literature Collection-08

Stamped pinky and middle finger using an image from Delaney Feuillages A001 using MdU 7.

Delaney Feuillages A001.  (I was into a lot of the images on this plate; I used quite a few of them to accent Ms. Cindy on quite a few days!)

Using same image and a clear stamper, placed foliage around the index and ring finger.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Well, I thought I was finished but the next morning I thought adding more gorilla images would be cool, so stamped them on all fingers using same image from MoYou Literature-08.

Did a finish with matte to cut down the glare!

Here's the other ladies Day 3 mani's!

Thanks for looking!

P.S. Immediately after these nails were done, I cut down my nails....too long! lol

P.S.S. I look that that thumb image and all I can see is sad gorilla...am I the only one?
