The Digit-al Dozen presents: In My Garden - What My Garden Actually Looks Like

Hello lovelies!

Yesterday I showed one of my dream gardens and today I present my actual garden. My actual garden is nothing but clinker bricks. However, one of my good friends gave me a geranium plant when I had just signed the lease, as an early housewarming present. It was the first thing of mine to be in the new house and later in the garden. It is still there! Therefore I dedicate this manicure to the geranium that pinks up my grey garden:

The Digit-al Dozen are Inspired By Each Other - Happy Cloudy Day

Hello lovelies!

I'm currently in the process of moving house and have been for the last few weeks, hence the lack of blogging... but I managed to get some manis done for this month's Digit-al Dozen challenge! We're being inspired by each other, so I randomly chose some of the other ladies manicures about which I felt I would be able to recreate.. starting with Marisa's - A.K.A. Polish Those Nails - happy clouds mani!

Inspired by another dress!

Hello lovelies!

Remember that mani that was inspired by my dress? I have another one of those dresses (couldn't choose), so I did a mani for that one as well!

This is the dress in question:

I used BPS dark green holo polish and this greenish stamping polish to paint the flowers with this super handy detail brush:

I sealed it in with fast-drying top coat and then applied matte top coat on my ring finger and pinky:

What do you think? Do you like the colour combo? I must say, if it wasn't for the dress, I would've never thought of it.

The Digit-al Dozen does Mythical Creatures - Basilisk

Inspired by my green floral dress

Hello lovelies!

I was in desperate need of some new clothes so I purchased some during a sale +20% off event. I got two blouse dress thingies (I couldn't choose between them, because of their totally different patterns which I both loved). They inspired my manicures and today I'm showing you the first one:

Friends on Friday - Holiday Fun!

Hello lovelies!

Happy New Year! My new year's resolution is getting my blogging mojo back, so I'm starting with a Friends on Friday issue, since I love doing other people's nails so much!

During the holidays I brought my nail art supplies to my family and did my sister's and my friend's nails. I had brought all my cute holiday stamping plates, but had forgotten my stamper. I looked everywhere for a spare, but no such luck. So I had to get creative the old fashioned way! 

I started out with something I had had in mind with Ms. Sparkle's new gorgeous polish "Yasuko" (swatches are on their way).

The Digit-al Dozen August Birthday Mani!

Madam Glam Gel Polish Review

Hello lovelies!

I have an all new-to-me product to show you today and it's very exciting: GEL POLISH! I had never tried it before and I was lucky enough to be sent these wonderful polishes from Madam Glam for my first gel polish adventure. It was an excellent experience, I can tell you! I got three shades: Amour, Perfect White and Flying Purple, plus a base coat and a no-wipe top coat (which means no tacky layer after curing). These swatches were all done using the base and top coat provided. I cured each coat with a LED UV light for 30 seconds.

The Digit-al Dozen does Story Genres - Mythopoeia

Hello lovelies!

I must speak about a man. Not just any man, no, this man was a genius. He invented a whole new genre to put his own literary legacy in. Mythopoeia, the creation of myth. Thinking up not only a story, but a world, a history, languages, mythology, geology, geography... it's epic. The genius of whom I speak is of course J.R.R. Tolkien. 

The Digit-al Dozen does Story Genres - Romance

Hello lovelies!

Keeping it short today, because it's waaaay past my bedtime. I based today's manicure on my favourite romance novel of the moment: Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins!

When I first saw the cover, it screamed mani to me, so this was the perfect opportunity!

I started with a base of Celestial Cosmetics "Poipu Sunset" and then created a gradient with LynBDesigns "Nightmare Revisited" and Celestial "Hokulani". Then I sponged on some mixture of grey, black and silver holo. Then I created the buildings and the wonky Eiffel Tower with Rimmel Black Out and a detail brush. The lights are Poipu Sunset again. I sealed it al in with SV.

I hope you like it, despite the Eiffel Tower's wonkiness... 

Have a look at the other ladies' manicures below!

The Digit-al Dozen does Story Genres - Dystopian SciFi

Hello lovelies!

I like reading, but lately I can only handle the simple stuff. Dystopian science fiction is one of those things that I love, like The Hunger Games and Divergent. This manicure is inspired by the latter. Can you see what it is?

The Digit-al Dozen does Paper - Party

Hi lovelies!

So you know, parties often include a large amount of paper... cups, plates, napkins, and even the decorations are also often made of paper. So I decided to decorate my nails with 

....boom and I had accidentally fallen asleep.. the week has been insane and I keep falling asleep after I get home from work! Anyways, as I was saying, I decorated my nails with party flag banners and confetti!
