Smurf Nails!


I picked up the last bottle of nails inc. Baker Street on a recent visit to Sephora.  While I know I should be thinking that this is the polish that Beyonce made hugely popular after the birth of her daughter, all I could think of is Smurfs!  This is what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of nails inc. Baker Street; two coats.


And a second pix just because its so gorgeous!


Stamped using white Konad special polish using KD2 (thumb and middle finger), FAB IV/FUN1 (index), SdP 50 (pinky) and SdP 51 (ring).


Stamped on a a couple flowers but for some reason I never jotted down the plate number but it was one of the XL plates, then added a few colourful dots to them.


Added a few more dots using an assortment of CND polishes and topped with SV to finish.


Smurf nails!  Thanks for looking!

Edited to add where to get plates:



 (I got these some time ago; not sure if currently offered for sale but see them offered quite often). HTH's!

Happy Birthday, Dad!

Today is my Dad's birthday....he shares the birth date of this famous fellow....



Elvis!

I did this mani last night because I knew I'd be visiting with my dad this afternoon and Elvis is one of his all time favourite artists. My dad thought the mani was very cool!

Started with a base of OPI Bride's Bouquet (white); accent is OPI Yoga-
to Get This Blue; two coats of each. Topped with SV. No picture of just base polishes as I've used Bride's Bouquet and shown it a lot and the next pix shows the accent blue well. Stamped using Konad black special polish using FAB II (Elvis head), Konad m58 (guitar), SdP D-11 (boots and cowboy hat) and BM 08 (crown on pinky).



Then added full finger image plate on accent finger using plate FAB IV with Konad white special polish. My FAB UR NAILS plates arrived late last week and it was great that I was able to use a couple of them for this mani!



Stamped a few accents using Konad red and royal purple special polishes. Image plates used were Hot Topic (skull music notes), SdP C-12 (small and medium size crowns from the image) and Konad m73 (music above cowboy hat and above). I had stamping fail here as only half the lines under the stars went on the nail...this was because I took too long in trying to position the stamp on my nails and the polish dried up. Oops! In this case, the only way I probably could have corrected it would be to remove all the stamped images because those lines are on top of Elvis' head and I doubt I could remove the stars and lines without disturbing the head image...but ultimately decided it didn't look too terribly bad so just left it. Lastly, topped with coat of SV.



Happy Birthday, Dad!

Hope you had a great weekend...and thanks for looking!
