Monkey See Monkey Do Monday--Sveta (again)

Hi Everyone!  Happy Monday!  I'm showcasing another way cool mani I saw over on Sveta Sanders Instagram.  I get a bigger crush on her as every new mani is posted  by her!  

This one looks easy but it wasn't!  I just don't know how Sveta gradients the way she does because I have a heck of a time with these "sideways" gradients!  Today I've got on CND Vinylux Cream Puff and 6 Harts Mountains Nights.  I topped it with OPI's The Man With The Golden Gun

I have the hardest time with these types of gradients so I think this is something I will practice on and hopefully master in 2015!

I stamped with MoYou Sailer 07

I like how you can still see the gold flakes through the stamping

You can find this design over on Sveta's Instagram page--she is amazing!

I'm working on an idea for New Year's Eve next--hope you'll tune in to see what I come up!

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???
