The Digit-al Dozen Does Skittles Week and 33DC Day 12: Pattern Around your Home

Final day for The Digit-al Dozen Does Skittles Week. Sad, but I got to pair it with 33DC prompt of a pattern around your home. Well, I went with patterns around my home! I love this look! So many patterns! :)

I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as the base and stamped with Konad Black and HK Girl Top Coat. The plates I used were: Konad S6 for the stripes (or mummy wrapping whatever!), Konad M83 for the Damask (probably my most used Konad plate), Vivid Lacquer VL 015 for the Plaid (this is a really big image so I kind of put the image off-centered on my nail), and Konad m63 for the Houndstooth.

Phew I made it through Skittles Week! I really need to practice them more because I'm not sure how skittle-ly they actually were! :) But oh well! It's done! Yippee!! :)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Skittles Week: Fall Feathers

For today's Digit-al Dozen Skittle I wanted to go with fall colors. And I absolutely love how this turned out! It's all cozy and warm! 

I used China Glaze Kalahari Kiss, China Glaze Budding Romance, China Glaze Red-y & Willing, and Nails Inc Hampstead Gardens. Perfect fall colors. I stamped using Konad Chocolate and Messy Mansions MM14. Such an amazing plate! Topped it off with a coat of HK Girl Top Coat (love this stuff for stamping!)

I'm a little bummed that the stamping doesn't show up as much on Red-y & Willing in the photo. But that's alright, it's still pretty!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Skittles Week and 33DC Day 11: 3D

Continuing with The Digit-al Dozen's Skittle Week and adding the 33DC 3D prompt I did this. I honestly don't have that many 3D items to use in my nail art. Just rhinestones. And I don't use them that often because they never stay on very long for me! :) But they sure are pretty!

I used OPI Fly, Barry M Foil Effects, Finger Paints Flip Flop Fuchsia, and Nail Savvy Chrome (each two coats). I then added a coat of HK Girl Top Coat and added the stones to the still wet top coat. I then took a brush and painted lines using the same polishes.

Fun and simple, I thought! I hope you like it!

I used Sally Hansen Going Green, Sally Hansen Crushed, Sally Hansen Deep Purple, and Zoya Sooki (all two coats). I used Milani White on the Spot for my letters all topped with HK Girl Top Coat. 

What do you think?

The Digit-al Dozen Does Skittles Week and 33DC Day 10: Flowers!

Welcome to a another week of The Digit-al Dozen! We have a few new faces and a new blog: The Digit-al Dozen! (We've been busy!) But this week our theme is Skittle! And I really struggled this week! So I don't know if mine are actually skittles in the technical manner this week, but I made it and finished! So here we go!

It is also Day 10 of 33DC which is Flowers. So this is my Flower Skittle! Rosebuds (abstractly of course!) (or maybe uniform shirts? hahaha!) I used Essence Cafe Ole as a base (you can only see it at the cuticle). I then used OPI Pink Friday, China Glaze Lemon Fizz, Color Club Mamba, and OPI Funky Dunkey. I used Finger Paints Black Expressionism to line them.

It was really hard to come up with flower skittle, because I didn't want to do stamping the entire week, and I didn't want to dot flowers because I've done that. I wanted to try something new for me. What do you think?

33DC Day 9: Indian

Yes! Finally a win for the challenge for this week! I was inspired by the henna designs used in India. I just love the way this turned out! I really can't stop staring at it!

So there are a few photos, because 1. I really like it, and 2. wanted to make sure I captured it correctly! :) In this photo the lighting is a bit different but I love the detail it showed. I used two coats of Essence Cafe Ole.  I seriously love this nude polish! It's perfect! And there is a slight shimmer. I added one coat of HK Girl Top Coat.

I stamped using Konad Chocolate and MoYou Pro 04. These flowers totally reminded me of the intricate henna designs.

I then used a thin coat of HK Girl Top Coat to seal in the stamp followed by NYC Matte Me Crazy. I love this design matte! It's perfect!

Whoop! Weird angle, but I still love it. Is that enough gushing for you? You know, sometimes the polish and stamping forces combine and align just right, and that doesn't always happen for me. So I need to rejoice in it! :)

And I'm done! Have a wonderful weekend!

33DC Day 8: Chevrons

Seriously, I give up. 

I redid this mani like 5 times, 5! And the index finger is still messed up. Oh and guess what? This is more herringbone then chevron. Well, shoot. Why didn't I pay attention to that sooner. 5 times and I didn't catch it?  Grrr!

Well heck, I put that much effort into it, you are still going to get it! :) I used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (two coats) for the base of three nails and China Glaze Awaken (two coats) for the accent nail. I stamped using China Glaze Awaken and Konad White using Cheeky CH8.

Lame herringbone. Pfft! The challenge this week so far has gotten the better of me. But oh just wait until Friday! I finally have a win! :)
