The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows

Day 4 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Music brings us to a specific song: Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbow by Lesley Gore. For some reason (thank you Simpsons) this song gets stuck in my head.....a lot. And I really only know the line that has the title!

And now after watching this, I guess I knew the majority of the song with just knowing the title! :)

So, if you can't tell, my index finger is sunshine! I used Sinful Colors Unicorn (two coats) as the base and stamped using Klean Colors Metallic Orange and Bundle Monster BM301 for the rays. I also added Orly Shinning Star to make it sparkle. (Did you catch that? Shinning Star is also a song title! wink wink!)

Next up are my lollipops! Essence No More Drama (two coats) for the base and  Konad Black with Klean Colors Metallic Green, Klean Colors Metallic Aqua, and Klean Colors Metallic Fuschia for the lollipops. I used Cheeky stamping plate CH9 for the images.

My rainbow is Essie Borrowed & Blue (two coats) using Klean Colors Metallic Aqua, Klean Colors Metallic Yellow, Klean Colors Metallic Green, and Klean Colors Metallic Fuschia with Konad Q1 for the rainbow!

And finally more rainbow pinky finger (I needed rainbows to be plural!) I used Essence Romeo as my base with Essence Hello Holo (two coats) for the shimmery holo goodness!

Just another quick image of the fun colors and rainbow goodness! :)

And here is the clip that forever got this song stuck in my head! You are welcome! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Song Skittle

Day 3 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Music. And today I have a skittle that looks totally random but in all actuality, isn't. That's right! There is a rhyme and reason to my madness...sometimes. :)

This mani is a Song Skittle! Well, as close to one as I could get.

First up we have Catrice Browno Mars. So this is the one except to the song name polishes. But I had to use this polish. I mean come on, Browno Mars? It needed to be used in this themed week and in this mani! :) This is two coats and applied like a dream like every Catrice polish!

On my middle finger we have China Glaze Strawberry Fields. This made me think of Strawberry Fields Forever by the Beatles. Two coats.

On my ring finger we have Catrice Sing: Hey, Dirty Lilah! Which reminds me of Plain White T's Hey There Delilah. I love this polish. This is two coats and still, sadly, the silver shimmer doesn't show up as much on the nail. :( But I still love it! I also stamped a fitting image using Konad Black and Cheeky plate CH27.

And finally for my pinky we have Catrice I Wear My Sunglasses at Night (two coats). Gorgeous black polish with multi-colored glitters! So much fun! Now this song will be stuck in your head! Muwahahaha! :)

So what did we learned today? That Catrice polishes have totally awesome names! And formulas too! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Pop Diva Glitter Style!

Day 2 of The Digit-al Dozen Does Music. And today we have a glitter mani fit for some pop divas! What music theme week would be complete without at least mentioning two ground-breaking women of pop music!? And who am I talking about?

Why Madonna and Lady Gaga of course! :)

I love a lot of Madonna's songs. Her Ray of Light album is my favorite of hers. As for Lady Gaga? She has some pretty catchy songs that get stuck in my head, but I only own one of her songs (one sung by her. I do have some covers of her songs by other artists). Now this is nothing against her, I'm just not a mainstream music type of gal. :)

 

So here we have China Glaze Material Girl and Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance. Two coats each.

Here is a photo pf the base colors that I used for this mani. OPI Sparrow Me the Drama and Finger Paints Black Expressionism. Two coats each.

Now that you have watched Lady Gaga's video you should check out this video about Women's Suffrage. It is amazing! :) And fitting for today! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Music - Music Devices Through the Years

It's November! And you know what that means? Yep! Another installment of The Digit-al Dozen! This month our topic is music! Music is such a great inspiration! I had a lot of fun coming up with some ideas. So here we go!

This mani represents 4 devices used through the years to play music.

First we have the good old record (I promise it's not a scary demon eye!). I remember going through my mom's record collection when I was young and listening to the Beatles, The Mamas and The Papas, and many musicals. But I think my favorite record growing up was Little Red Caboose. Loved this record! To this day I still sing Little Red Caboose and Rag Mop!

My middle finger represents a cassette tape (I also promise it is not a robot or a face!). Man I loved my collection of tapes! I had all of The New Kids on the Block tapes! Oh baby! ;) And creating mix tapes! Oh yeah, I was queen!

My ring finger represents the golden age of compact discs or CDs. I know, I know, we still use them today.  But I remember my first CD I ever bought: The Cranberries To the Faithful Departed. Still have the CD and still listen to it! :)

And finally my pinky finger is an iPod. My first iPod was a Nano 2nd generation. I thought it was the coolest thing ever! Mine was green. :)

Specs:
Index: Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat, Finger Paints Black Expressionism, and Zoya Sooki.
Middle: Leighton Denny Berry Nice, Finger Paints Black Expressionism, and Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat.
Ring: Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat and Nail Savvy Chrome.
Pinky: China Glaze Cha Cha Cha, Finger Paints Black Expressionism, and Pure Ice Platinum Magic Base Coat.

Sat-Art-Day Club: Brands

This is The Sat-Art-Day Club. The Sat-Art-Day Club is a weekly challenge which posts on Saturdays. Today we have chosen Brands or Logos as our theme and I chose to go with Brands! And what brands do we have here? Why stamping plates! :)

I really loved how this turned out. And I got to use a different part of my stamp plates! :) The brands are: Bundle Monster, Essence, QA plates (ok, not really a brand per se but Cheeky did not want to stamp to save my life!), and Konad.

I used Konad Black to stamp these images. My base is Essence Grey-T to Be Here which I used as my palate cleanser on Thursday! :)

Thank Goodness, Indie Friday - Glimmer by Erica Spicy Pumpkin

Here is my last Halloween inspired TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indy Indie Friday! Today I am bringing you a stunning polish from Glimmer by Erica called Spicy Pumpkin. Love this! 

Just look at that color and shine and sparkle! Like always: (l-r) 4 coats (index finger), 3 coats (middle finger), 2 coats (ring finger), and 1 coat (pinky).

Erica writes on her etsy shop that: 

"It is a blend of orange, brown, garnet, and red glitter. It is really stunning on the nail. I was thinking about pumpkins and everything we use them for during the fall and winter, and I came up with this polish. It's sort of a blend of pumpkin and the warm spices we use in the fall. Cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and of course, pumpkins"

 And I believe she nailed it! This is a perfect fall glitter!

Here it is as one coat over: OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?, OPI Diva of Geneva, Nails Inc Hampstead Gardens, and Catrice Blue Cara Ciao.

This glitter went on wonderfully! Sometimes I had to even take some glitter off the brush, which I would rather deal with than not enough glitter!

Bottle shot and macro bottle of Spicy Pumpkin.

Please go over to her Facebook page here to be kept up-to date with her news.

And bookmark her etsy page here so that you can buy her polishes! :)

Palate Cleanser: Essence Grey-T to Be Here

Oy! So with all this nail art I have had going on (sort of unheard of for me!) I thought I would try to "cleanse the palate", so to say, with a simple swatch.

Ha! Yeah, well, that didn't really work out. Oh the polish is marvelous and lovely to apply without any problems. Well, there was one problem.....

It didn't like to be photographed! Grrr! This is the gloriously lovely Essence Grey-T to Be Here. A stunning grey polish with pink shimmer! Love it! This is 2 coats. You can see the pink in the bottle really well. And yes, on my nails you could too....but it wanted to be lame and not get caught on camera. Not only did the pink not really show up, but this color is super camera shy and likes to go blurry. I took a lot of photos and only one really worked out for me.
