Digit-al Dozen Does Birthday's: March 2017

Surprise!!!  It's Digit-al Dozen birthday posting but we don't have any birthday's in March.  While we had agreed to do a mani based on a rainbow design, on the side, the rest of the group members decided instead to do a surprise post for the group's newest mom, Amber, who had a little baby girl a couple weeks ago! Congratulation's Amber!


Started with a base of skittles; starting at thumb and going clockwise:  ACO Mint Cream, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, The Kit Smoothie Delight, Dermelect Above It and Nicole by OPI Bee in the Moment.  All two coats, no top coat.


Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


I had made some stamper decals using acrylic paints.  Used images from Chez Delaney Naissence 001 for all except the blocks which are from Chez Naissense 002.


Applied the stamper decals.


Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Added a few dots for filler and interest!


Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Here's the other ladies rainbow surprise baby girl mani's!

Picture Polish Forget Me Not

This is a rare polish in my collection.  Why is it rare, you ask, when a quick check to Harlow & Co and Nail Polish Canada both say it is in stock?  Well, it is only one of only maybe half a dozen (if even) polishes I own that show a fill line.  I know......the horror!  I usually only wear a polish once or twice and the majority of my stash is untried but this one, I think has been used at least 4 times!  I love the bright hue of it; I also have a lot of clothes in this shade so have reached for it a few times when I want to be all matchy-matchy! It's also no secret these holo flecks by piCture pOlish are faves of mine either and they are great for a quick, easy mani!  Here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of piCture pOlish Forget Me Not, no top coat.


Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using Funky Fingers Gesso using an image from Apipila Super Placa G.


Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Made a stamper decal using an image from OS-03 (and a spare...that I did end up using on Ms. Cindy!)  FYI, used FunkyFingers Dark Knight for decal on the left and Mdu black for one on the right; the difference is very obvious!)


Applied stamper decal.

Digit-al Dozen REDOES Art; Day 3

For Day 3 of the Digit-al Dozen art challenge, I again used a picture found on pinterest as inspiration for a water colour of sort; here's what I came up with!


This is the art used for inspiration.


Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (no pix).  Did some Sharpie/alcohol brushing.


These were the three Sharpie colours I used.


Stamped using an image from UberChic UC1-03 using Konad Black Pearl special polish. (In hindsight, the nails looks closer to the art without the stamping but oh well lol)


 I've had issues with top coat fading the markers in the past so waited about 15 minutes or so for them to dry.  The good news is they didn't fade 100%; the bad news is still had fading/discolouration.


Here's the other ladies Day 3 art nails!

Digit-al Dozen REDOES Art; Day 2

For the art challenge, I did some looking at Pinterest for inspiration.  I came across a painting and came up with these nails based upon it!



This is the painting!


Started with three coats of Barry M Prickly Pear.


Did random dry brushing with Zoya Mira.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Added a few dots using Mdu 33, 54 and 67 using an image from UberChic UC Lovely Leaves.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Added birds using Apipila Super Placa A and lines from FUN 7 using FunkyFingers Dark Knight.  Do not ask how hard it was to stamp each finger so the lines lined up....even with clear stamper, it was hard!


Full hand.


Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.
