The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week: Teal


Last day of The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week. And today I tried teal. These colors were so similar that the stamp almost doesn't show up, but I love the effect of it all!


I used Catrice San Francisco as my base and stamped using A England Saint George using Emily De Molly EDM04 plate. I also used HK Girl Top Coat. They are peacock feathers, just in case you can't tell.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week: Green Stripes


Day 4 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week but it is also a GOT Polish Challenge Day: Stripes! So I decided to do green mono stripes! And I am pretty happy with the way these turned out! Yep another tape mani for the win!


I started out with Finger Paints Sexy Sundress as my base. I then put two pieces of striping tape on the nail and proceeded to use my dotting tool to fill in the lines! On the three nails (accent nail is reverse order) it goes: Nubar Reclaim, China Glaze It's Alive, A England Dragon, and China Glaze Westside Warrior. All topped with HK Girl Top Coat.  

For the GOT Polish Challenge, each polish has to be a year old and haven't been used in the past year. Some of these (It's Alive) are way older than a year!
I definitely like this design, a bit time consuming but I can see myself doing it again!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week: Blues


Ah Day 3, brings us monochromatic blues! Some of you may have seen this mani on my IG. Because I wore them to an amazing blogger/IG'er meetup! My first ever! I was so nervous and excited and yep!


This is the same type of tape mani I did last week, but I knew I had to do it again this week! I started with China Glaze Electric Beat as my base. I then taped off an X and used China Glaze First Mate (darker) and Sally Hansen Deep Blue Sea. Topped it off with HK Girl Top Coat!

I really loved how this turned out. And guess what, I did both hands! Shocker I know! My right hand gets neglected but not this time, not when I am going to a meet up, can't just have one hand done! Hahahaha!


So here is my IG shot of all our blue manis! I am dead center bottom. My sister is to the right of my (overlaping my hand). Yes, I made my wonderful sister go with me. My anxiety has made it impossible for me to drive far and this was an hour away. So she said she would be my driving buddy so I could go! Isn't she the bestest! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week: Purples


Day two of Monochromatic week brings us purples! And since it is Technique Tuesday I thought I would try a new technique: Nailside's Tutorial: Explosion Design Tape Mani.

Can I just say, she makes this look so easy placing those darn triangle cut tape pieces on the nail. Pfft! Don't know if my are explosions but they are still pretty neat! :)


I used OPI Funky Dunkey as my base, China Glaze Urban-Night (dark one), and OPI Planks A Lot. Topped off with NYC In A New York Minute top coat. 

I'm definitely going to have to try this technique again......much later, kinda was a little frustrating! Hahaha! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Monochromatic Week : Neutrals


Welcome to the first Digit-al Dozen Week of 2014! And we are doing monochromatic! Today I choose to do neutrals to go along with my Neutral Mondays that I have been doing. I was inspired by TopCoatIt: Chocolate Mountains, mine are just grey! :)

A reason to break out a ton of grey? Yes please! And this isn't even a pinch of my greys! Mmmm, I love me greys! So calming and purdy!


I started out with Essence Romeo as my base (best grey ever!) Then I used Catrice London's Weather Forecast, followed by Duri Gin Greyhound, and then Revlon Iconic. I topped it off with my fabulous grey glitter that I had custom made by Dragon Lacquer called: Geeky Owl! :)

Topped it off with NYC In a New York Minute. I love how this turned out. Simple but very neat.
