Let It Snow Challenge-Winter Gradient

My favorite nail design to do when I don't have a lot of time and want something really classy is a glitter reverse gradient.  This is using Essie Lilacism and Different Dimension's Emily.  I just love the look of this....

Let It Snow Challenge-Winter Wonderland

I have already done a few Winter scenes this season so I decided to do this one the way I like them best......on a clear winter night when it is lightly snowing.  I used Cult Nails Nevermore for the base and then Amy's Nail Boutique's Frosty for the sparkly snow falling from the sky.  I will be glad when we move on because I am READY for SPRING!!!!

Let It Snow Challenge-Valentine's Day

I am falling behind in my challenge.  After doing the Digit-al Dozen this week, which consisted of five V-day manicures,I really didn't want to have to do another one but here it is.  This is Cult Nails Nevermore and Zoya Gei Gei.  I did a skittle with various embellishments in different shades of pink.  This was actually wearable believe it or not.  No top coat on anything.

 



Digit-al Dozen Does Love & Heartbreak-Puppy Love

I always really loved this stamp.  Simple but cute.  I used Zoya Malia for the base.  Then I did a reverse glitter gradient using a custom from Amy's Nail Boutique called Festival of Lights in Purple.  She made a blue version around Christmas time and I wondered if she could make it in different versions.  Yup!!!  Multiple versions.  All equally as gorgeous.

Digit-al Dozen Does Love & Heartbreak-Subtle Stamp

I wanted to layer some stamping but it came out just a tad too light for my tastes.  This is ManGlaze's Lesbihonest with some white stamping and then I used Color Club Halo-Graphic to stamp over some hearts.  You could see them much better in the sun for the ten minutes that is actually peeked through the clouds.

 

 

 

 

Digit-al Dozen Does Love & Heartbreak-Love and Treads

Love and treads was what I came up with for a title.  The design reminded me of tire treads on pavement.  Sometimes heartbreak makes you feel like you have been run over.  I used ManGlaze's Fattys Got More Blood and stamped with Cult Nails Nevermore and Tempest.  I LOVE the look of ManGlaze with a top coat almost as much as without.  Never been disappointed by a color.

Digit-al Dozen Does Love & Heartbreak-Target Hearts

I am calling this target hearts for obvious reasons.  I started with a base of OPI Skull and Glossbones and then added various OPI polishes to make dots inside of dots.  I wanted the hearts to look like they were floating through various colored bubbles.  It ended up reminding me of a Target Commercial.
