The Digit-al Dozen Presents: TV Shows - Game of Thrones

I started my posts a day behind for The Digit-al Dozen week, so I'm double posting today and hope to stay on track after this. I saw a Game of Thrones mani in the link up for Day 2 and decided to use mine today as well!

Swatch & Review: Nvr Enuff Polish - Winter is Here; Part 2

Welcome back to part 2 of the "Winter is Here" collection by Nvr Enuff Polish! I've swatched them, worn them, added art, and now it's time to share! There is a part 1 - read here- in case you missed the first 3 polishes.

Note that there will be a restock on 7/29/17 at 11 PST, in case you didn't pick them up during the preorder window ;) Now on to the polishes!

Swatch & Review: Nvr Enuff Polish - Winter is Here; Part 1

Hello & welcome to part 1 (of 2) covering the newest collection from Nvr Enuff Polish - Winter is Here! If you didn't recognize that reference - it is inspired by Game of Thrones! The 7th season will be starting on the 16th - which is the last day for the pre-order, so the timing is perfect! There are a total of 6 polishes and I will be showing 3 of them in this post, so let's get started!

Swatch & Art: Model's Own - Indian Ocean

Today I'd like to share a new polish in my collection - Models Own Indian Ocean. Because of how sheer it is, I didn't swatch it by itself, so it has pretty undies underneath, and added bonus it had some art to decorate it.

Picture heavy post!

Stamping Saturday: Winter is Coming

Hello and welcome to another Stamping Saturday! With the return of Game of Thrones I'm barely capable of getting a non-GoT related mani on, but when there's finally inspiration and motivation, why fight it and try to stick to seasonal designs? :D So here we go again with the famous house Stark words - Winter is Coming.

Stamping Saturday: The North Remembers

Welcome to another Stamping Saturday! Today's mani is another combination of my favorite things - polish from Nvr Enuff Polish & Game of Thrones themed design :D

I was aiming for the weirwood trees with this one but not sure I got there..

Swatch & Art: Fair Maiden - Fallen Snow

Hello and welcome! I haven't done a "swatch & art" post in quite some time - and they are my favorite- so I have a pretty polish to show off today and more Game of Thrones art. Can you tell I'm kind of obsessed about it? Heh..I'll try to spread them out a bit more and include some other things in the next few weeks.

As the base polish is a tribute to Jon Snow, so must my nail art match! Click to see how this was put together and for swatches of the polish!

#31DC2016Weekly: Metallic v2

I've got another black and gold mani to show today. And it's another Game of Thrones inspired one! Anyone a Greyjoy fan?

Does it count to have two entries for #31DC2016Weekly in one week to make up for not participating in a different color? Heh...yellow is still haunting me.

#31DC2016Weekly: Black & White

I feel like I've done all the color prompts for the #31DC2016Weekly challenge but have not actually posted them all on the blog...oops. Week 8 is Black & White and I was looking forward to this one. I am  really excited to share today's nail art as it signifies my favorite show returning! I've combined stamping and a waterslide decal to get my finished result and love it!

Any guesses what the theme today is? Click to find out!

#31DC2016Weekly: Red - Fire & Blood

I am taking up a new challenge to participate in - #31DC2016Weekly. This was started by Amy of Polich Etc as a way for normal-ish people to participate in the yearly challenge, but making it much more feasible by stretching it out over 31 weeks. The original challenge happens in the fall and all prompts are completed during one month. I am hoping to stick to it, so please check back weekly and remind me if I start slacking!

Week 1 is RED - and here's what I came up with! This is a new to me technique of foil stamping and this will not be my last attempt at it!! Take a look after the jump for more pics & info on the nails and the challenge.

Bloody Nails -Game of Thrones Returns

Game of Thrones is back on, and of course I had to do a mani for the occasion. I still have my mini bottle of The North Remembers by Novel Nail Polish and I was happy to discover the thermal pigments still work. For the blood splatters I used SH Insta-Dri Wined Up and the plate is one of Y plates from Aliexpress. The direwolf of course is from MyOnlineShop Jr-2.

Dragons are coming

Viserion - cream and gold. Drogon - black and red. Rhaegal - green and bronze.  Out of all these, Viserion was the easiest one to do, the stamping colors show up well enough, but the rest of them gave me a hard time, as I tried to use whatever I had, and I do not own any of the lovely MUNDO DE UÑAS polishes (yet.)

Pinkie - Revlon Timeless, Ulta Smoke Screen, stamped with Konad Special Black. MM21.

Ring finger - Julep Nicolette, stamped with Sinful Colors Gold Medal and Konad Special Black. CICI&SISI 02, MM21.

Middle finger - Sinful Colors Secret Admirer, Sinful Colors Unwrap Me, Sinful Colors Casablanca. MM21.

Index Finger - Sephora by OPI Already Famous, Ulta Envy, Konad Special Black. MM21.

Thumb - Julep Cleopatra, Sinful Colors Dancing Nails. JR-2. 

Red & Gold Lannisters

Despite not liking Joffrey, I do like like his clothes - the cloth is great inspiration for nail art. And lucky for me, I have stamping plates with similar enough designs to achieve the look I'm trying to go for!

The no nail-art restriction at work is really bumming me out. As my polish gets tip wear and slight chips by the time I can actually do stamping on it, so it's not pristine and pretty anymore :(

Dark red embroidered with gold thread is really pretty. The red is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Wined Up, and the gold is Sinful Colors Gold Medal. Plates used: JR-2 and PUEEN 44.

GoT Manicure

I'm really excited for the new season of Game of Thrones, and could not help buying a stamping plate with sigils to do my nails while I wait for the new episodes. This particular mani doesn't use any of those stamps, but it's something I've though of doing for a long time - ever since I saw "Godswood" polish, by Fandom Cosmetics. The creamy white and the blood red really made me want to make a weirwood tree!
And this is what I came up with.

The weirwood is a species of deciduous trees found all over Westeros. The five-pointed leaves and the sap of weirwoods are blood-red, while the smooth bark on their wide trunks^[1] and wood are bone white.^[2] Most weirwoods have faces carved into their trunks. This was done by the children of the forest in ancient days, and is now done by the free folk as well as other descendants of the First Men, such as followers of the old gods in the Seven Kingdoms praying to heart trees in godswoods. In some cases sap has collected in the crevices of the carved faces, giving the trees red eyes which have been known to drip sap as if the trees were weeping.^{[1] - A Wiki of Ice and Fire}

The North Remembers

I love Game of Thrones, so when I stumbled upon a polish collection based on the novels, I couldn't be happier. This is also my first indie polish, and first thermal polish!! The Etsy shop is called "Novel Nail Polish" and the first one I got is white to red, The North Remembers.
