Hi Everyone! Woot! It's Friday! The weekend is almost here! I'm getting together with my family for a game night on Saturday and Sunday is the big Packers vs Seashawks game so I am looking forward to it for sure
I did some stamping decal last night that turned out really well! It's really nice to have the Creative Stamper to use for large pieces of the full image plates from the MoYou Fairy Tale Collection. I really think this mani turned out great!
My story mani for today is the tale of St George who slew the terrible Dragon. I had to matte it because you know all the cool kids do it!
I'm only sporting the dragon scales on my right hand because "ain't nobody got time" for the same thing on my right hand LOL!
I think this was a really great week and even though this was a really challenging theme, once again every one did an exceptional job!
I'm heading over to the last day to see what my friends came up with!
Hi Everyone! Woot the week is almost over! I don't know about anyone else but I am pretty exhausted and can't wait for the weekend. I haven't played around with too many mani ideas lately so I'm really hoping to have the time to do that this weekend. Then of course we have the big Packers vs Seahawks game on Sunday. OMG that one is going to be a real nail biter I think!
Today I'm doing something that looks super easy but was in fact pretty hard. I had to make 2 decals and then sandwich them together to get the look I wanted. It was the first time I had ever done anything like it. Here's my take on Snow White's poisoned apple.
I had to find an apple image first and stamp in just black. Then I added my red dot to it. I made another decal of the holey lace image and then put it over the top of the black apple. Then I had to cut it out! At first it looked just like this which I didn't think looked enough like an apple
So I had to go back and draw the apple shape over my apple. I was worried I would ruin it but it turned out okay!
I found the inspiration for my mani from this cool picture
I think it turned out pretty good--what do you think?
I'm working on an epic tale for tomorrow right now! Let's hope I can get it to work. In the meantime I'm heading over to check out what my friends did!
Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! I'm late posting today as I was hoping for some sunlight to takes pics of my mani and that just did not happen!
I decided to do The Frog Prince today because let's face it sometimes we have to kiss a lot of frogs before we find that special someone. Here's a shout out to all those gals who are bad pickers like myself!
Man it was hard to get a color accurate picture of this mani. These are neon colors so much brighter than you see here but you get the idea I hope!
I just have this one lonely picture today because I hate all the others I took LOL! I did some FUN stamping over a neon base and let me tell you here it is the end of the day and I cannot wait to get this mani off! Bright neon colors and I do not mix!
I'm heading over to see what everyone else did for today!
Hi Everyone! How about that great first day of our fairy tale week?! Creepy wolf stuff going on yesterday but some nice girly girl princess and Cinderella stuff too. I have a great idea cooking in my head right now for one I'm going to do hopefully tonight and you'll know soon enough if it turns out good enough to post!
Today I am doing something pretty simple but at the same time very stark in it's simplicity. Today I am showcasing Snow White and Rose Red an original Grimm Brothers fairy tale about 2 sisters who both wind up married to princes and doing the happily ever after thing after saving a poor starving bear
I thought about doing some black reverse image roses over my white but then thought better of it and I think I made the right call.
My white textured is the lovely OPI Solitaire from the James Bond collection!
I stamped with Sally Hansen Insta Dri Red-io Active using one of my MoYou Pro plates. Probably one of my fave Pro plates is this one with the rose images
For as simple as this is I really love it!
I'm heading over to check out what everyone else came up with for day 2!
Hi Everyone!!! Happy Monday! Today starts the 2015 year for The Digit-al Dozen AND we have some exciting news!!! We have several new members! It's totally exciting and I can't wait to see all the diverse nail art we are going to get out of this "new and improved" group!!!
We are starting off the year with Fairy Tales. OMG it is not as easy as it sounds! Most people hear fairy tales and their minds immediately go to Disney movies which the majority are not fairy tales at all! I really had to struggle to come up with some ideas and one of mine I can't do at all as I am minus a frog stamping image! I mentioned this to the group and Sheila from Pointless Cafe wanted me just to draw one LOL! I died laughing. Easy for Sheila to say as she can freaking draw anything but I think we all know when it comes to me and free hand skills it ain't pretty!
So today I started it off right with one of my all time favorite nail designs EVAH--the beautiful mermaid tail!
I got to use my new multi-chrome flakie, Prilea, from Darling Diva with this beauty and boy do I love it!
Prilea shifts from burgundy to green to gold and some flashes of blue even
I also put OPI Ski Teal We Drop, My Vampire Is Buff and Zoya Wednesday and Haven into the mix as well!
And I stamped Mundo de Unas Aqua over Wednesday for the other nails--just lovely!!! Stamping is MoYou Sailor
Really loving this one and glad to be able to start this week out with a mermaid tail!
Because we have new members with us this year I really hope everyone takes the time to head over and check out all the amazing art work we have for this month's Fairy Tales theme!
