The Digit-al Dozen Does Florals: Day 3 - Abstract Daisies

Nothing to Disclose

♥

I'm back with Day 3 - Abstract Daisies!

For this one I just used a base of Wet n Wild WildShine Black Creme and Salon Perfect Sugar Cube for the white dry-brushed abstract daisies. I finished up with a coat of Butter London Matte Finish Top Coat.

It seems like I saw something similar, but I've googled and can't find anything! If anyone knows who might have done this before, if anyone, let me know.

The Digit-al Dozen Does The Terrific Twos: Day 1 - Abstract Swans

Nothing to Disclose

♥

It's time for another week of The Digit-al Dozen Nail Art! This week we are working with The Terrific Twos - Pairs of things, Seconds, etc. The first day - things that come in pairs. So I chose to do a really abstract version of a pair of swans. They're so graceful and beautiful and they mate for life. Or so I've heard.

Abstract Swans

I started with a gradient using Zoya Ling and Ryan and then did a "one-line" sketch of swans using Zoya Dove. The odd thing is, it's clearly swans from farther away but up close it's a bit harder to decipher. Which is usually the opposite with nail art. It's not my favorite, but it did look better at arm's length.

Rock/Mineral Nail Art Week: Day One Abstract Eudialyte

Nothing to Disclose

♥

Today starts another Nail Art week with some of my nail polish buddies! The theme this week is rocks and minerals. Well I have to admit that I was stumped.

When I was a kid, I would pick up an interesting rock from every place we ever visited. Okay fine, I still do it sometimes! I was never interested enough to look them up or get "into" it as a collector. I think it was just that we were so broke, those were my souvenirs! I don't even know if I still have most of them. I suspect they might be in a random box in a storage unit, but I'd rather have another root canal than go searching through a storage shed.

So of course I did what anyone would do. Google!

This eudialyte looked interesting so I just did sort of an abstract version of it on my nails and BAM, Day One was done!

I used a base of grey creme (Essence Movie Star) then I sponged on white and grey just a little to mottle them. Then I grabbed a little nail art brush and laid in the black and violet. The violet is a franken I made.

This is a really easy mani anyone can do - with any color combo! What do you think?

Nail of the Day: Nails Inc. Abstract Nail Art

Personal Collection

*These products are Cruelty Free 

♥

Happy Saturday! Today I have a quick post for you - a "matchy-matchy" manicure to go with a favorite blouse of mine. Favorite partly because I like the colors but mostly because it blouses around my love handles. Mid-40s is definitely the time where you learn the art of camouflage - LOL!

I've used Nails Inc. Colville Mews as my base with accents of Black Taxi and Westminster. I just used a regular nail art brush and randomness. Quick and easy.

Abstract Nail Art with Nails Inc. Westminster, Colville Mews and Black Taxi

It was a little busy to wear for long so I toned it down...

Nails Inc. is one of my favorite brands, so when I just can't decide what to wear, I always have something in my Nails Inc. section that works. And I can always count on the formula being fantastic. I really adore their cremes. (For those of you always on the lookout for a great one to two coat black creme, Black Taxi might be for you!)

Nails Inc. polishes are widely available in the UK for around £11.00 and select colors are available in the States at Sephora stores and Sephora.com and retail for around $10.00.

And THIS is Murphy's typical Saturday...
