I am back with another Digit-al Dozen week! The theme this week is black. What I love about Digit-al Dozen is that each theme can be interpreted in so many different ways. For me this week I was focused ONLY on the color black. I had to really push myself looking at different finishes and techniques.
Now let's get to the mani!
Products used:
Drip Drop Nail Paint: Yoga Pants
Esmaltes de Kelly: Black Soap Bubbles
Nails Redesigned: black rhinestones
Heather's Hues: Top That Top Coat
I started with a black striper making zebra print on my bare nails (oops - totally saw the staining as soon as I removed it - don't forget the base coat!). After that dried I added 3 coats of Black Soap Bubbles from Esmaltes de Kelly. For an accent, I used Yoga Pants from Drip Drop Nail Paint and rhinestones. Everything is topped with Top That from Heather's Hues.
I hope you like my first mani! Be sure to check out the other manis from my Digit-al Dozen sisters below.
Are you an animal print lover? To me, they are nature's patterns. :)
Happy polishing,
