Digit-al Dozen Does Monochrome--Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true

Hi Everyone!  Happy Friday!  Wow sorry for such a late post but I got up and out of here at the buttcrack of dawn this morning and am just now getting home.  I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend and some great football on Sunday!

Today I just have a pretty simple monochrome mani and I even cheated a little adding color BUT the subject is quite near and dear to me.  I didn't have a chance to post this mani last week on the 8th because of the tutorial week but here's what I wore in remembrance of The King on what would have been his 79th birthday

Still love him after 43 years!!!  I think he would still be rocking out if he was still with us too.

Monochrome was a bit challenging for me, not really sure why.  I would look at all the way cool mani's the rest of my gang did and feel like they knocked it out of the ball park and I just fell flat.  I hope it's not all the hours I'm working sucking my creative juices dry!

Make sure you check out the last day for the group

And there is still the fabulous giveaway going on!!!!

Digit-al Dozen Does Monochrome--Blue Ocean!

Hi Everyone!  The weekend is almost here--yay!  Anybody have any great plans?  I'm working again--I know you're all shocked BUT I am also doing my mom's nails for her on Saturday.  Yes people hell has frozen over!  I could not believe it when she called me and asked me if I could make her nails look pretty for her dinner out on Saturday.  Now mind you all that will occur is a nude polish going on with no stamping whatsoever but still it's something!  Neither my mom nor sister capitalize on all the super cool mani's they could get from me whenever they wanted!  If Lisa was still here she'd be my number one non paying customer LOL!  I think we might try to go to the new Jack Ryan movie on Sunday if we aren't watching football--who knows anything cold happen!

Today I've chosen blue for my Monochrome Week day.  I have the lovely Into Darkness and Narasuk by Elevation polish in addition to Fishwife by Butter London on today.  I love the little accent nail I did with Narasuk so much I think I'll do a full mani like this one day!

Jut because I was lazy and it was still out I used MoYou Sailor 07 for the stamping

You just can't go wrong with waves--ever!

I think Monochrome week has been really great so far?  Does anyone have a favorite yet?  It's really hard to pick isn't it???  Let's see what everyone comes up with for today!

Digit-al Dozen Does Monochrome--Orange Crush!

Hi Everyone!! Happy Hump Day!!  I have been loving all the brightly colored monochrome colors my cohorts have come up with so I decided to do one of my own today!  I went with a color I don't often wear---ORANGE!  It's pretty lickalicious if I do say so myself.
I started with a gradient of Zoya Thandie and Elevation Polish The Arches II.  Then I topped it with Red Dog Designs Pumpkin Toss.  It was pretty blingy.  I did it up last night so I went to bed feeling good.  Then this morning since I was up so early I decided to stamp over it.  I whipped up a light orange/peach color to stamp over the top of it and hauled out MoYou Sailor 07 and here it is!

It's pretty orangey!  Definitely not a dreary winter color at all

This pic here without the flash shows the peachy stamping color a little better.

What do you think of this nail length for me?  I think my fingers look fat but at the same time I do sort of like this length

Stamping over glitter makes me SO happy

What did everyone else come up with on hump day???

Digit-al Dozen Does Monochrome

Hi Everyone!  Hope you are all doing well.  I have to say I am having a heck of a time coming up with something cool for Monochrome Week!  I tried a zillion things this weekend and did not like any of them.  Yesterday I settled on the white and grey gradient but I really wanted to do something cool.  When you're in a group of mega talented gals you try not to look like the class clown!

I remembered a cool MSMD mani I did with same gradiented blues so I decided to to it with some plums and lilacs and I do really like how this turned out!

To get myself out of my rut I put on my new Chanel--Provocation.  It is a lovely dark plum.  Then I striped on Sally Hansen Lively Lilac and finally some white

I sort of needed the Chanel pick me up for the nubs I had to endure too!  I snapped a nail off removing my manicure!  How does that even happen people?!

Well one thing for sure that's a positive with it, I can type much faster now!

I really loved the mani's the girls came up with yesterday--how about you??

Let's see what's up with everyone today!

And Don't forget about the fabulous giveaway we have going on!!!!

Digit-al Dozen Does Monochrome

Hi Everyone!!! It's that time of the month again and this time I mean it in a good way!  This week not only kicks off Monochrome week but the Digit-al Dozen is also having another one our spectacular giveaways!  WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

First up let's start with the mani.  I had a heck of a time coming up with something I liked!  Yes you heard me, a heck of a time!  I tried 3 different looks and hated each one.  Running out of time I had to settle for a white and grey gradient with some black stamping.  

I felt it was kind of stark, like my soul, after all my fails!

This plate is adorable though isn't it?  It's Messy Mansion MM14

Birds on a wire!  Definitely cute!

I'm going to take a look and see what the rest of gals did and you should too, but don't forget to check out the awesome spectacular giveaway at the end of group pics!
