Digit-al Dozen: May Birthday Mani - Digital Neon Flowers

Greetings and Nailutations,

It is the end of May, which means time to celebrate with a mani inspired by a photo selected by the Digit-al Dozen member with a May birthday.  Cheyenne of CDB Nails selected this amazing digital image of neon flowers below.  At first I was really intimidated by this photo (Cheyenne sure knows how to challenge us!).  :)

More details below!

Digit-al Dozen April Birthday Mani

Greetings and Nailutations,

Today I will be sharing a mani for the April Digit-al Dozen Birthday!  We have 2 members who are celebrating their special day this month: Katherine Marie from Procrastinails and Uma from Uma's Nail Art.  They selected a fun bubble image that was a bit intimidating.  (Photo at the end of the post.)

Let's get to the details.

It Girl IG108 Stamping Plate Review Part 1

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Press Sample*
Today I have a new stamping plate from It Girl Nail Art.  There are 3 new plates available for purchase: IG107 (inspired by the art deco movement), IG108 (inspired by the Art Nouveau movement) and IG109 (features fine lines and intricate details).  You can also purchase all 3 for a great deal.  I'll be sharing half the manis I created and my thoughts using IG108 plate in this post (the next post will have the second half of the manis).  In addition to stamping plates, she also has scrapers with nail sizes on them (see below in the photo).

Now let's get to the manis!

Beginnails' Sunday Six Week 43

Greetings and Nailutations,

Here are my 6 favorite manis of the week.  I was able to fit in nail art the weeks before and luckily my cell phone has a lot of extra manis sitting in it to post.  :)

This first mani is using Diabolically Demure and Pretty Pink Bikini both from Liquid Frosting.  I decided to add on a cute bow from Charminlgy Simple Nail Art.

Next is a reverse stamping mani.  I used Liquid Kandi Summer Neons to create this look.  The theme I was doing was Summer Neon, so the collection was calling to me.  :)  

Next I used a silver Holo (Quiet Storm from Ooh La Lacquer) and the Sheer Tints (Teal and Ultra Violet from Polish Pusher) to make a much easier clean up holo gradient.

Next I used Keely and Nina from Daily Hues Nail Lacquer and played around with my dotting tools. I'm not exactly sure where I was going with this mani, but I liked how it turned out.

 The next two manis are swatches.  This first is Falling For You from GG Nail Lacquer.  I love the dark brown with the glitter - reminds me of a box of chocolates.

The last mani is a swatch from Yume Lacquer's Rainbow Heart.  I love the iridescent glitter in this light pink golden shimmer creme.

Which is your favorite?

Happy Polishing,
