The Nail Challenge Colaborative-Marc Jacobs Polish Gradient

This is my last post for technique month and sadly, my last post with the Nail Challenge Collaborative.  I love this group of ladies so much and I have been with some of them for a year and a half now but I am spread a little thin lately.  I really want to spend some time trying new things on my own schedule.  I will still follow everyone and what they are working on because there is a lot of talent in that group and I will miss them. 

What I have today is a simple gradient using Marc Jacobs Oui and Desire. I am loving these polishes.  Perfect application, great drying time and amazing durability.  I will be buying them all.  I love the look of red and pink together.  This was really beautiful in person.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative-Love Stamp With Hearts

This is the third post of the month for The Nail Challenge Collaborative.  This month was technique month.  I set out to watermarble over stamping but it was a fail so I resorted to using a dotting tool to make some hearts.  This is Zoya Jaqueline with Black stamping polish and Hearts in A England Rose Bower.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative-Zoya Savita French Tip

This month is technique month.  I was looking through my Pinterest boards for things I pinned and wanted to try this black matte mani with top coated French tips that Chloe's Nails did.  I see this pinned all the time.  I decided to pull out one of my old favorites for a different twist.  This is Zoya Savita with Seche Vite on the tips.  Gorgeous!!!!

Digital Dozen Does it Again-Tape Mani With Texture

I was inspired to try this because of a post I saw on Instagram that was done by Lab Muffin.  If you don't follow her already on her blog and Instagram, you need to.  She is fabulous.  She does amazing manicures and has a cool scientific approach to all things nail related.  This is Cult Nails Time Traveler topped with OPI Wharf! Wharf! Wharf! which is from the newest liquid sand releases.  The two colors were nearly identical but the texture really came out with the use of the tape.  I also paired it in one picture with a necklace I got in my latest Rocksbox.  Rocksbox is like Netflix for jewelry.  I always love getting the packages in the mail.

Digital Dozen Does it Again-Thing 1 and Thing 2

Today's theme was books.  I kept with my children's theme and did another Dr. Seuss.  This time I went with Thing 1 and Thing 2.  I used Barry M Prickly Pear as the base.

Digital Dozen Does It Again-Ninja Polish Bling

I could wear Ninja Polish's Caribean reef every week for the rest of eternity.  it is so pretty but I hate that photos do not do it justice.  For the first time ever, I have attempted to capture it on video so you can see it's beauty.  I paired it with Ninja's Strawberries N Roses, which is also spectacular.  the base color is Zoya Dove.  First the photo....
