The Digit-al Dozen: All That Glitters - Microglitter

Hello lovelies!

We're off to a good start this year when it comes to our Digit-al Dozen Challenge, because we're doing All That Glitters! I'm starting with a beautiful microglitter polish "Sun Soaked", a rose gold texture filled with gold microflakies and pink holo glitter.

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. 

Incidental Twin "Tiny Alpha" and MilvArt Geometric Water Decals

Hello lovelies!

I have two separate product reviews in one post today, which sounds like a matter of efficiency (or laziness), but actually happened for the sole reason, that the two products just went beautifully together! Take a look to find out what I mean: 

BPS Steampunk Stamping!

Hi lovelies!

 

Today I have a very fun stamping plate from bornprettystore.com to show you! This is 春の歌-L004.

 

The Digital Dozen Does Vampy - Chic

Hi lovelies!

Today I have a chic interpretation of vampy!

Paisley... again.

Hello lovelies!

On my birthday,  I'm wearing paisley, of course, both on my dress and on my nails!

Friends on Friday - PhD Defense Celebration!

Hi lovelies!

One of my dear friends defended her PhD thesis recently. She asked me to do her nails for the occasion, and of course I jumped at the opportunity! 

This is her holding her degree!!! I painted her nails with NYC "Full Metal Jacket" (she was wearing blingy gold pumps!) and then matte stamped with BPS white stamping polish and BC-08 stamping plate. I went for 'festive but subtle' and 'flashy but classy', if you know what I mean ;) 

Her sister was one of her paranymphs, wearing a blue dress, so I subtly matched her nails to both the dress and the occasion, using NYC "A Suitcase and a Donut" and BPS metallic blue stamping polish.

Her cousin was wearing blue as well, but was a little weary of the whole nail art thing, so I just painted them blue. (I'll get her next time! ;) )

I myself decided to wear this as a cheer-on mani!

Yeah, I had a bad nail break.. And no sun, so these are flash pics. This is two coats of Ms. Sparkle "Capricorn" with BPS gold stamping polish.

My friend was awesome. They asked tricky questions and she just knocked it out off the park every single time. So proud! I'm grateful that I was able to contribute to the beautiful day in a small way :)

Potion Polish "Mirage"

Hello lovelies!

I have a new-to-me indie brand for you today: Potion Polish! When the maker, Courtney, came out with The Dunes Collection, I fell in love. The first polish of the collection I'll show you is "Mirage":

Simple Sophisticated Summer Florals

Hello lovelies!

Today I have a simple, but sophisticated summer look for you, using 2 indies! LynbDesigns "Golden Marigold" is the polish and I used Svenja's nail vinyls for the nail art!

Goldy & Lacy & Negative Spacey

Hello lovelies!

Since I fell asleep during blogging yesterday, you'll have to wait for manicures I did on on my friends until next Friday. In the meantime, I have a little gold and black lace and negative space. A lot like my Pinky & Lacy manicure, but different :P Oh and my middle fingernail broke, really bad, so I fixed the corner there a bit, ignore the wobbliness!

Walk like an Egyptian

Hello lovelies!

Remember "Mayan Not-So-Apocalypse" by Incidental Twin? I went rogue and applied it to an entirely different ancient civilization:

Incidental Twin "Mayan Not-So-Apocalypse"

Hi lovelies!

Today I have a golden beauty from Incidental Twin for you, which celebrates the not-ending-of-the-world a few years ago, whoohoo!

Bubbles - Tricolore

Hi lovelies!

Tonight I'm celebrating the season finale of one of my new favourite shows - Limitless - and mourning the upcoming months without it, that is, if it comes back at all. So I'm showing my love for Limitless with a manicure, in which I use Incidental Twin's special Limitles polish "On NZT" as a base. You can find my swatches on the Professional Fangirl website as I discuss the show up until now!

Delushious Decals

Hi lovelies!

Again I have been MIA for more than a week; I'm sorry! Last week got unexpectedly busy and last weekend I got sick again, of course. Luckily, I have one design left in the vault, so here we go! 

BP-79 Stamping Design - pt. 1

Hi lovelies!

I did a little stamping with BP-79 over My Indie Polish "New Year, New You" from the New Year's Trio, which I showed you last week!

Red, gold and leaves

Hi lovelies!

Yeah, I know, the title is very unimaginative, but after a lot of thought, this was the best I could do. The mani is actually better than the title:

LadyQueen Fleur-De-Lis Charm

Hi lovelies!

More fleur-de-lis nail art today, this time with a charm from LadyQueen!
