Digital Dozen Does Metal-Magnetic Tips

Quick post today.  We are in the middle of an electronic medical record implementation at work so I am exhausted right now.  I am doing these posts daily as opposed to a week ahead of time.  This was kind of a flop but looked pretty in person.  I used Illamasqua Ouija which I love because it wears well and is gorgeous.  I did a small shape on the accent nail with tips in Magnetic black.  I have no idea what the brand is because the label is no longer intact.  It was too small to pick up a real magnetic effect but I like to outcome.

Digital Dozen Does Metals-Chrome Tips

I'm back after a few month sabbatical.  I had a lot of trouble maintaining my nail length.  I had problems with peeling and breaking nails and I tried everything to fix it but finally gave up hope.  Then over the past month, they have grown the way they used to and I was amazed.  A friend at work said that it was related to the anesthesia that I had for my back surgery.  I thought she was crazy but now I am not so sure because it took that long for my nails to grow out completely and the timing just makes sense.  Anyway, back to my Digital Dozen group with a theme from hell.  Metals????  I am struggling with this one. Here you have OPI Dim Sum Plum with OPI Push And Shove.  I am excited to find a way to wear Push And Shove since my nails have way to many imperfections to wear it on it's own.  It is gorgeous...

Digital Dozen Does Brands-For Dummies

I really wanted to do posts this week that didn't involve words and that readers could identify by a quick glance.  I have not had much success but I think today's post is a keeper.  I turned in my room and looked at the bookcase and saw a few "how to" books for "dummies" and I knew that would work.  Look Familiar?

Digital Dozen Does Brands-Tampax

The brand theme was actually my pick.  I am regretting it now because I have no real inspiration this week but the reason I started it was because of a post I saw on Instagram where someone was inspired by a tampon box.  I was inspired by one also,  specifically the colors.  This is using white as a base and it is topped with the green and blue from the new OPI tints.  I am totally in love with these and will be using them again very soon for some additional nail art.  It's like using watercolors.

Digital Dozen Does Brands-Pringles

I love potato chips.  All time favorite food ever.  The controller at my job, who has an office right next to me, keeps a family size bag in her office all the time.  If they were in my office, I would eat the whole thing for lunch.  One of my favorites, even though I try to stay away from them because they always make me sick, are Pringles.  I tried to recreate the chips here on my nails using some textured polish and sponging on some other colors.  The accent is the character that you always find on the cans.....

The Digital Dozen Does Vintage-Popeye

Last but not least, who doesn't love Popeye?  I wish I had more time to add in Olive Oil but I just can't pass an opportunity to play across multiple nails.  I like the yellow and Blue base combination.  I think it really adds a vintage feel. 

Quick Valentine's Nails with Betty Boop

This week's Digital Dozen Vintage theme made a want to use my Betty Boop decals I got last year.  Here is a quick look at what I did.  Stamped on some red and pink in Marc Jacobs to give some interest in the background.  Love these decals from KKCenter.  They are super easy to apply.
