Flowers for Football

Hello lovelies!

Tonight we're playing our second game during the European Football Championship, so I created another look with our national colours:

Pastel Petals & Spunky Speckles

Hello lovelies!

I bought some Essence polishes a while ago with a 50% discount and figured they'd look good together, so I did a little nail art! First I have a pastel yellow flower design:

The Digit-al Dozen does Marble - Water Marble

Hi lovelies!

For the first challenge of the year, we decided on 'Marble'. Over the years, folks have been coming up with many ways to create marbled nails, the most famous of which is water marbling. I've never been good at it, but I thought I'd give it a try with some new polishes my sister gifted me for Christmas, that she bought in Brazil. Yay for exotic polishes!

I have to say that this is one of my more successful tries, so I'm quite pleased! The polishes marbled marvellously, I'm so happy I thought of using them!

Thanks, sis, for these beauties! 

What do you think? Did you ever try water marbling?

In any case, take a look at the links below to see the beautiful marbling of the other ladies!

The Digit-al Dozen does TV Shows - Bazinga!

Hello lovelies!

Sorry, I missed yesterday's post, had a work thing until late that had kept me busy for a couple of days. But today I'm back with my BAZINGA manicure, inspired by The Big Bang Theory!

The Digit-al Dozen does TV Shows - Unbreakable...

...they alive dammit, it's a MIRACLE!

Hello lovelies!

I think the title says it all; we're doing TV show inspired nails and my first mani is for Kimmy! I love how when I saw the first season for the second time, I got twice as many jokes as the first time. It's brilliant. Always pointing out all the silliness in our lives, I love that.

The Digit-al Dozen Recreates First Blog Posts - Hoot Hoot!

Hello lovelies!

I think I did not even blog yet, when I did this mani for my sister, but I posted it later in my 'Golden Oldies' genre. I always wanted to do it on myself, but never got around to do it, so this was a perfect excuse!

Messy Mani with Lina's Nail Art Supplies and Essence

Hello lovelies!

Recently there was a sale of Essence nail polishes, so I was permitted to buy a few! They're cheap when they're not on sale, let alone when it's a BOGO-situation! I felt the shades I chose would look gorgeous together, so I fashioned this:

The Digit-al Dozen June Birthday Mani

Hi lovelies!

The Digit-al Dozen celebrated Amy's birthday last Saturday and although it's almost next Saturday, I'd still like to join in!

The Digit-al Dozen does Mythical Creatures - Fairies

Hi lovelies!

After three dark manicures I figured we needed some bright colours, so I tried to come up with something happy or cute and then I saw Kerry's manicure, so I drew inspiration from that! 

The Digit-al Dozen's Throwback Week - Geometric

Hello lovelies!

I made it! Final post on the final day! I'm so happy, I've been so sleepy all week, it's a miracle! Last theme from before my time that I tackled for this challenge is "Geometric". An excellent excuse to use this pattern I've been wanting to do for a while:

Neon on! - pt. 4

Hello lovelies!

Okay so this is going to be the last neon mani for a little while, because I'm trying to come to terms with this whole autumn concept. Oh well. One last day of denial with some neon paisley!

The Digit-al Dozen's 5th Birthday - 80's Party

Hi lovelies!

Tonight I'm throwing an 80's party in honour of The Digit-al Dozen's 5th birthday!

The Digit-al Dozen does Story Genres - Mythology

Hi lovelies!

One of my favourite story genres, mythology, is of course great inspiration for all kinds of nail art! I chose this particular design, because I had this awesome stamping plate lying around and I have been wanting to use it for ages. So here's Asian mythology for you.  I based my manicure on no particular myth, but looking at it, it feels like there is a story.

The Digit-al Dozen Birthday Mani - Moroccan Dream

Hello lovelies!

I am a day late with this happy birthday manicure, I'm sorry! We're celebrating the birthdays of fellow members Roselynn and Tracy with this Moroccan Dream manicure!

Digit-al Dozen Bday mani - Bubbles!

Hello lovelies!

I'm a day late to the party, but I do want to join in on celebrating fellow Digit-al Dozen ladies Katherine Marie and Uma! 

The Digit-al Dozen Redoes Art - Gerberas

Hello lovelies!

Day 4 of The Digit-al Dozen Redoes Art is here and I present another type of flower: The Gerbera. Guess who's work this is inspired by? 

The Digit-al Dozen does Decades - Swinging Seventies

Hello lovelies!

We continue our Digit-al Dozen week of Decades with the 70's! I really wanted to do a disco mani...

The Digit-al Dozen Does Colour Contrast! - Colour Blocking

Hello lovelies!

I'd like to close this awesome series of Colour Contrast manicures with some colour blocking. So I went back to the roots of it - to Mondriaan, a fellow Dutchie, who mastered the art of colour blocking a century ago:

The Digit-al Dozen does Colour Contrasts! - Clashing & Cute

Hi lovelies!

Personally I find that one of the most clashing colour combos is purple and green. I was curious to see if I could do a non-Halloween-y, non-ugly manicure using these two colours and... Eureka! I found the magic trick to combining purple and green! It's a blue buffer zone. A blue buffer zone saved the day!

The Digit-al Dozen does Colour Contrast! - Cacophony

Hello lovelies!

Happy Monday and happy new Digit-al Dozen week - my second one! I'm so very excited about this one, we're doing colour contrasts - which is open to so many interpretations, I love it! I'm starting it off with a cacophony of colours:
