The Digit-al Dozen Does Stamping: Day 1

Day 1 Stamping: Leadlight

Welcome to another Digit-al Dozen week! The theme for March is "Stamping" and you know I'm super excited for this one! Stamping is my jam!! I may even have all the nail art done ahead of time, for once!

Swatch & Art: KBShimmer - We Make Your Dreams Come Blue

Welcome back to another post! I am super excited about this one, and hope at least some readers recognize what this mani is based on!!

We may be hitting temps in the 70s-80s,but winter is coming! Actually, it may already be here ;)

Swatch & Art: Tonic Polish - Toxic

Saturday is here! And with it, more swatching! This purple number is called Toxic, it's part of Tonic Polish Fall/Halloween collection releasing on 10/2.

#THELACQUERRING: Lace

Welcome back for the second The Lacquer Ring prompt  for September - lace! I thought it would be pretty easy, given how many stamping plates I have with lace imagery, but part of the problem was narrowing down what I wanted to use!

Here's what I ended up picking - do you see a hidden image there? ;)

Ocean Gradient with Enchanted Polish

There's a pretty popular mani depicting the beach, and I wanted to try my hand at it. Here is the result!

I've seen this design time and time again, and most recently Alesya over at PhD Nails did her own version, and that convinced me that it's my turn now.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Here's the mani I wore today - even got away with it at work! I don't interact with too many people and so far only 1 person noticed my nails, so we'll see if I can sneak in with nail arts more often!
When it came time for the pics, I have to say I'm a bit bummed that they didn't turn out that great...the light reflection and the complex polish layers..gah, it looked much better on my nails! I guess it'll be a while before I get the hang of nail photography well enough to show the polishes as I mean for them to be, so tips are appreciated!

Fall Colab Contribution

One of the FB groups I'm in, recently had a fall manicure collaboration and I was glad that I participated, even though I procrastinated till the last minute! But that's how it usually goes for me, lol. I really wanted to try for a "leaves floating on water" look and thanks to the new BM Sun Kissed collection's plate 509, I had the tools for the water effect!!! I even had comments on IG and FB about the water - which means I successfully transferred my idea onto my nails! Woohoo!! And BM 004 for the maple leaves of course :)
