26 Great Nail Art Ideas Challenge: Blue Floral

Greetings and Nailutations,

I'm back from a week vacation!  Where was I, you ask?  I was in Las Vegas - Sin City.  Unfortunately I did not win big, nor did the hubby, or my folks (who we met there).  But we did do some light gambling (I don't like donating money to a casino), eating yummy food, people watching, shopping and decided to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame.  Glad to be back home and now I'm playing catch up with some nail art challenges.  Speaking of nail art - have you had a mani you just struggled with?  The mani for this blog was my nemesis.  I could not figure out a "blue floral" mani for the life of me.

Digit-al Dozen: Stamping Over Black To Nude Gradient

Greetings and Nailutations,

Today is the last day for the February Digit-al Dozen week using the prompt of black.  I decided to go for actual bare nails!  So risqué!  Ooh la la!  Since I'm not the biggest fan of visible nail line (VNL) I decided to make the bare nail part towards my cuticle.

Now let's get to the details!

Digit-al Dozen: Black Textural Watermarble

Greetings and Nailutation,

Digit-al Dozen: Black Dotty Lace

Greetings and Nailutations,

I'm brining you another freehand design with Digit-al Dozen theme of black.  I wanted to created a delicate lace design with dots.

Digit-al Dozen: Black Leopard Matte Print

Greetings and Nailutations,

Digit-al Dozen day 2 is animal print again - don't worry, there are only 2.  One thing I really wanted to try again was the play on matte vs shiny stamping.  I loved the look of stamping with matte top coat and I wanted to try the opposite (stamping with a shiny polish over mattified look).

Now let's get to the details.
