Hi Everyone! Oh my gosh this week has just been so much dang fun! Everyday I can't wait to see who's done what and who copied who, it's just a great way for me to start my day!
So the one person I was absolutely positive I would never be able to recreate is the extremely talented Wondrously Polished. I mean come on she does every thing free hand. EVERY SINGLE THING SHE DOES IS FREE HAND! Have you seen her stuff?!!! It's freaking amazing. And she lures you in like Bob Ross because you look at her stuff and you go "oooh I bet I could do that" News Flash!!! You cannot do it. Trust me on this.
But she actually did something during our Neon week that I could do! I mean don't get me wrong I stamped this sucker because come on now I'm not crazy but I was able to copy this and I am pretty dang happy about it!
Besides it works out great for the end of summer for sure!!
Here's my recreation of Wondrously Polished's Tribal mani from our Neon Week!
So the bad thing about this mani is I just finished it at 11pm which means no sunlight LOL. Unfortunately this is the best lighting I could get indoors :(
I did get to try the dry brush method for this mani and it was the first time I ever did it! I'm a fan! I will definitely do it again
Lindsey has a lot of hand poses but I was able to try to recreate one of them
Here's the side by side pic!
Really I'm going to be sad to see this week end!
Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! I'm pretty happy with my recreation today! I'm not going to lie I wished I had been able to do so many other mani's by this person because she is cool and amazing but the ones I love the most by her aren't during a Digit-al Dozen week dang it! But that's okay because this one is super cool too.
Today I decided to recreate the lovely and very talented Copycat Claws. I've known her for quite awhile now and have happily following her latest and greatest creations for years. And bless her heart she still religiously posts the Sunday stamping challenge in AIS! I haven't even been doing that these days.
This mani is WILD! She did this super cool zebra over leopard look during our Patterns Over Patterns week. Here's my take on it
Pretty cool!
I tried to do Serene's hand pose--it's not easy
It's still not really right but it's good enough!
I had to improvise a lot for this mani. I don't have Essie Mint Candy Apple so I used China Glaze For Audrey and then put a light coat of Pure Ice Mint Dream over it. There was also no way in hell Konad M57 was fitting on my nails so I used a XL Bundle Monster for my zebra stamp, my leopard underneath is from my new Marianne's XXL 4 plate
Here's a nice side by side comparison
She's just SO cool!
I'm heading over to check out everyone else's day 3!
Hi Everyone! Wow what an exciting day yesterday! We were all blown away by the mani's we had done recreating one of our very own's from a previous Digit-al Dozen week. I'm not going to lie the consensus still is it's hard as heck to pick a mani to recreate. We are all just that good LOL! But that's really the problem! We are all so good that it's a bit daunting when you think you can recreate someone's work of art. So of course I had to go after that task again today. I fell in love with this next mani I recreated for two reasons--one the color scheme and two it's so damn pretty!
Day 2 has me recreating the very talented but also Sassy . . Shelly. This is my recreated of her Midsummer Night Garden during our Summer week
As I don't have the Cirque Shelly used I got to haul out my Clarins 230 and put it on over Revlon Royal
Really a stunning combination if you ask me
Here's our mani's side by side for comparison--how'd I do?
Eeep I am enjoying this challenge so much more than I thought I would! I'm heading over to see everyone else's Day 2!
Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! This week the Digit-al Dozen has flat lost it's mind. I kid you not. We are doing what I think is the hardest challenge we've ever done. This week we are recreating a Digit-al Dozen mani done by a Digit-al Dozen member past and present during a Digit-al Dozen week. Say that fast three times for crying out loud!
So what's so hard about this challenge. Well for one we have a lot of really good talent. We have a lot of exceptional free hand artists as well as exceptional stamping artists and I think it's hard for someone to want to recreate a free hand if you are a stamper or try to stamp if you are a free hand artist. And we have a lot of members. While 12 is in our title we always have a good 20 in our group. And we are choosing past or present members--that's a lot of mani's!!! WHAT WE WERE THINKING!?!
While I think every single person in our group is amazing I had to do something I thought I could do and do well and because we also only have 5 days to do it in there's a lot of really fab mani's I had to leave behind. Thankfully there's always a Monkey See Monkey Do Monday right around the corner LOL!
For my first design I actually chose one of my all time favorite mani's done by Sheila of Pointless Cafe. Sheila is an exceptional free hand artist and she has a flair for color. She knows what looks great and she always does an amazing job. Today I recreated her Red Riding Hood mani from our Fairy Tales week
I just loved the starkness of this mani by her when I first saw it and am so glad I got to create it
Here they are side by side, different yet the same
I think I'm off to a good start on this week! But it's only day 1 LOL! I'm going to go and check out what everyone else wanted to recreate!
