The Digit-al Dozen Spooky Days: Day 4 - Spooky Toothpick Marble

Nothing To Disclose 

♥

I'm back for Day 4 and I can now say "And now for something completely different!" John Cleese would be proud. Though it's unlikely he would know a dry brush from a toothpick marble. But I did promise today wouldn't be dry brush.

My good ol' stand-by works well with Halloween colors and matted, it looks almost like crushed velvet!

I started with bare nails and just did 3 quick swipes with the polish brush using Kiko 292 (purple), Zoya Rocha (orange) and Sinful Colors Black on Black. Finished up with the super matte of the new Zoya Matte Velvet Top Coat.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Florals: Day 1 - Tone on Tone with a Splash!

Nothing to Disclose

♥

It's that time again!!!  Time for Digit-al Dozen Week and this month the prompt is Florals. I have to be honest, I wasn't overly excited about florals, but once I got started it turned out to be my favorite so far!

So here is Day 1: Tone on Tone with a Splash (...of red)

I used Salon Perfect Sugar Cube for the white base and added a bit of Wet n Wild WildShine Black Creme and a sponge to make a grey for a slight gradient. Then I used those same two, and mixtures thereof, for the grass/flowers and weeds. To complete the look, I used Butter London Matte Finish Top Coat. Lastly, I used Kiko #240 for the POP of red. I did it after the matte top coat so it would be the only shiny part.

Be sure and check out all the other great floral manis from the rest of the Digit-al Dozen bunch in the links below!
