The Digit-al Dozen Does Re-Creations: Dressed Up Digits Toothpick Marble Decals

The Digit-al Dozen Does Re-Creations: 

Dressed Up Digits Toothpick Marble Decals

For Digital Dozen Childhood Week a while back, Laurie over at Dressed Up Digits did a cool toothpick marble decal mani inspired by the bowling ball she had as a child. Lemme tell ya...it's harder to do decals than I thought! I probably could have done a much better job doing it on my nails, but I wanted to step outside my "lil box o' safety" and try it how she did it. Need. More. Practice.

I used Nails Inc. Dutchess street (dark purple purchased by me), Zoya Leslie (lighter purple sent for review) and Salon Perfect Sugar Cube (purchased by me). I used a toothpick and my ÜberMat.

You can see here how stunning hers is!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Thankfulness: Day 5 Chocolate!

Nothing to Disclose

♥

There were so many things I wanted to try to do for The Digit-al Dozen Thankfulness Week. So many things for which to be thankful. HUGE things, and the little things. It's weeks like these I realize how limited I still am with my nail art, scaling painting down to 10 tiny little bits of keratin as a canvas.

I tried a few things and ended up running out of time and what was on my nails when the countdown ended is what you get. I'll show you the ones I didn't use at the end.

Chocolate!

Chocolate Nail Art

Yes, I had a break and had to "nubbinize." I'm not what you'd call a true "chocoholic" but I do appreciate a smooth, yummy bit of chocolate now and again. Plain milk chocolate for me. While I can appreciate a gourmet bit of swiss milk chocolate as much as the next guy, I'm also just as happy with a Hershey's Kiss. Although the toffee in a good ol' Heath Bar is my favorite. And don't, under any circumstance, get me a "box of chocolates." There are like 2 pieces from the box I'll eat. LOL!

For this mani I used Zoya Emilia as my base on the fingers and Zoya Nyssa and Spencer (the base on my thumb) and the "foil" wrapper is Different Dimension Silver Lining. The 4 fingers are a quick and easy spray marble using rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle. Double-dipped with Nyssa and then Spencer.

What's your favorite chocolate?

And the ones I didn't use?

Purple Heart. I just wasn't loving it.

"Jellyfish" mani...I couldn't figure out how to work it into the thankfulness theme. I live right on the coast and the coastal waters are infested with jellyfish, especially this time of year. But I'm not sure that's something I'm particularly thankful for LOL!
