Christmas and New Years Manicures

Hey Friends

Today I'm sharing the manicures I wore for Christmas and New Years, plus my current manicure.

Christmas nails were a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Cedar Grove, I stamped using Whats Up Nails Box of Whine (Red) and Nip it in the Bud (Green) using Simply Polished Christmas plate. I really liked my thumbs they worked while hot and cold.

New Years manicure was a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Jungle all the Way then stamped with Whats Up Nails Silver Ag-ent (silver) Go for Gold (Gold) and Ruse to the Occasion (Pink Metallic) plates were Uber Chic New Year, New Digits and Powder Perfect Celebrations 1.

Lastly my current manicure is a base of two coats of Fancy Gloss Fiery Mirage, stamped with Whats Up Nails Waiting for Patina using plates Moyra 119 Scientist and Apipila Molecules.

The stamping on my middle fingers is the chemical symbols for caffeine and chocolate.

Current Mani 23rd April 2024

Hi Friends 

Today I have my current manicure to share, I did a small order with Rainbow Connection a nail polish retailer in the UK.  I cannot resist Fancy Gloss thermals, the colours are always interesting and the formula top notch.  I ordered the following 

Left to right Arabian Tales, Coral Daisy, Pistachio and Strawberry Ice Cream and Dutch Iris.

I decided on Coral Daisy as the first manicure, this has a great formula, I did two coats for my base, I then stamped with Zoya Dita the flowers on my index and little fingers and then I used Virago Varnish Cannon Ball on the rest, plate was Moyra 107 Botanical.  I wasnt super careful painting the polish as I knew I was going to be stamping so clean up could wait.

I love the peachy vibe to the coral in the cold state and the yellow is almost neon, so fun.

Weekend Mani featuring Fancy Gloss Hawaiian Sunset

Hi Friends 

Today I'm sharing my manicure for the weekend.

I used the following:-
Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator 1 coat 
Barry M Mani Hero Strengthener 1 coat
Zoya Anchor Base Coat 1 coat

Fancy Gloss Hawaiian Sunset 2 coats

Whats Up Nails Fab Cab (Yellow)

Whats Up Nails Neither Noir (Black)

Virago Varnish Beet Ice (Pink)

Moyra Stamping Plate 106 Picturesque

Barry M Plumpy Top Coat.

I started with my nail prep using one coat each of the Qtica, Barry M Mani Hero and finally the Zoya Anchor, I then painted two coats of Fancy Gloss Hawaiian Sunset a tri-thermal that is brown when cold, a red when warm and a bright yellow when hot, good formula, no running or pooling.

I then stamped grass with the black on my fingers, but yellow on my thumbs, then added some flamingos and birds in pink, herons and butterflies in yellow and topped everything with Barry M Plumpy Topcoat.
