I'm back with a textured pattern for the Digit-al Dozen theme: Vampy. I was inspired by some dark and sultry velvet upholstry patterns. Oh yes...sexy couches..haha! I decided to tackle my nemesis - textured polish (I can't handle it for long periods of time on my nails - nails should be smooooooooth.). I will admit that I loved the look - and I love the look of textured polish. Maybe I can learn to love texture on my nails...(after a few glasses of wine). And be sure to check the bottom of the post for some other vampy looks from my fellow Digit-al Dozen members!
I started out with a black canvas of Drip Drop Nail Paint - Yoga Pants (a fabulous 1 coater) and ensured that was completely dry using Dream Polish - Gem Glam Top Coat before I used Nails Redesigned vinyls and Zoya - Chyna.
Drip Drop Nail Paint - Yoga Pants (black)
Zoya - Chyna Pixie Dust (textured red glitter)
Dream Polish - Gem Glam Top Coat and Gem Block Liquid Latex
Nails Redesigned - vinyls (pattern)
Clear Jelly Stamper - The Bling Brush
Here is the final look!
Thanks for reading! Tomorrow continues with another vampy look!
Happy Polishing,

DeleteI have the same feelings when it comes to textured polishes but I love what you did with yours! I have a few Pixie Dusts and admire them from afar or use them for looks because I can't stand the gritty feel of wearing them for long periods of times eeek lol
