Digit-al Dozen Does Books-Curious George

Another quick post for book week.  I couldn't possibly leave out Curious George.  I love designs that go across multiple nails.  Tomorrow's post is my favorite.  I am saving the best for last.

Digit-al Dozen Does Books-The Rainbow Fish

I am totally in love with this book and with the cover.  Who doesn't like a combination of blues, purples and teals?  I did this whole manicure using only Zoya polishes.  I think ten total to be exact.  The base is a combination of sponged on Malia, Kristen and Jo.  I am really happy with how it came out.  The base almost looked like marble.

 



Digit-al Dozen Does Books-The Lorax

Quick post for today because I am short on time.  This should be obvious.  I recreated an image from The Lorax, one of my favorite animated films and children's books.

Digital Dozen Does Books-Corduroy

This was one of my all time favorite books growing up.  I just loved the story and Corduroy was such a cutie.  I simply tried to recreate that famous book cover.  I used a combination of sponging for the base color.  This is ManGlaze Butt Taco and Lesbihonest.  Pink and Orange are such a great combo.  The bear and title of the book are acrylic paint.

Nail Challenge Collaborative-Neon Flowers

I know I have said it a million times but neons are so tough to photograph.  This doesn't quite do these polishes justice.  T
hese are all by Color Club.  Base is Pink Satina and the flowers are Feelin' Groovy, Koo-Koo Cachoo and Poptastic.  Using my new set of Cheeky plates.

 

 

 

Essie Fun French

Nail It Magazine posted on Instagram asking for people to submit a funky French design.  I wasn't going to do one but I saw a rack of Essie Polishes at my Beauty Supply Store today and they called to me.  It was a unique combination of colors that were all placed on the same rack and I thought they went well together. 
I don't generally buy Essie Polishes because they don't dry well on me but I figured I would give the formula another try.  I do love the bottle shape and the brushes.  The base polish here is two coats of Essie using My Maiden Name.  This is gorgeous.  I am so glad that I captured the pinkish shimmer in these pictures. 
The tips are done with a combination of Essie Polishes, The More The Merrier, Go Ginza, Full Steam Ahead and DJ Play That Song.  I took a photo with the base coat and then with The More The Merrier because I like how the two bottles brought out different aspects of color in the design.
The first picture has the base more color accurate.  The second was taken with different lighting and turns a tad more blue than in real life.

The Nail Challenge Collaborative-Neon Polka Dots

I am going to try and juggle three challenges for a few months.  Since I was away in NYC over the weekend, I am combining two together.  The NCC is doing neon manicures and my Facebook group ECOPOLO has weekly themes.  This week was yellow polka dot bikini.  So this is for both.  The base is Illamasqua Scorch and the dots are Collide and Rare.
