The Digit-al Dozen Does Festiveness: Rudolph Accent Nail


Today I decided to bring you an easy fun accent nail of Rudolph! I was really happy how these turned out!


I started with three coats of Layla Softouch Effects 02 Golden Touch. Can I just say again how much I love the Softouch collection! Great formula and great durability! I did three coats and you can still see a bit of visible nail line in some lights. But I thought this was a great base as it is very holiday and magical! :) Oh and I am not a big gold person either and I love this!


I then used Layla Softouch Effects 11 Mudhattan (yep I bought this one especially for this mani!) for Rudolph's face. I used OPI Warm & Fozzie for his antlers, China Glaze Ruby Slippers for his nose, Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat and Finger Paints Black Expressionism for his eyes.


Here is a different angle to show the texture of Mudhattan for Rudolph's face. It's sort of leathery! Can't wait to try this polish as a full mani!


A macro of Rudolph. I love OPI Warm & Fozzie for the antlers. I wanted something magical for them and have this polish with the two colors is great! Very shimmery! I think he turned out so cute!

I got my inspiration and help from this great tutorial over at Polish and Pearls (please click the link to see the video!).

    Okay, so I love your Rudolph. I feel I should explain why - in the movie Rudolph when he's playing Reindeer games or whatever with his friends and he has the fake nose on - he gets excited and his nose pops off and glows red with a loud pitched sound. The eyes of the reindeer's around look like this & it seriously has always made me laugh! Now that I've shared this pointless story - I love this :)
