The Digit-al Dozen Does Autumn Day 4: Falling Leaves

The Digital Dozen Does Autumn

Falling Leaves

Hi guys! Day 4 already? We just started! Today I have a sort of "abstracted" version of falling leaves done with simple dots.

I started with a simple gradient and as has been the issue all week, I really don't remember what I used. "Oh I don't need to write this down, I'll remember!" Um...yeah maybe when I was in my 20s. The base for sure is Elevation Polish Mount Ventoux and the tips are Zoya. Then I used acrylic paints to create the rest - just simple dots for the falling "leaves."

Colors by Llarowe: Coming Back Around Collection - Swatches

Press Sample 

*These products are Cruelty Free 

Hi everyone! Tomorrow (Oct. 15th 2015) is the preorder for the Colors by Llarowe Coming Back Around Collection so I thought I'd quickly post all my swatches here for easy reference.

I haven't done a full review on these,  just swatches but I can tell you that I didn't have any issues with formula or application on any of them. There are 5 and all but one are 2 coats with one coat of top coat. Billy Jean (formerly Billie Jean) took 3 coats and you may like it with 2 or feel you need 4. This one is a jelly and it builds up nicely.

Full swatches after the jump...

The Digit-al Dozen Does Autumn: Autumnal Drybrush

The Digital Dozen

Autumnal Drybrush

Happy Wednesday! It's day three of the Digit-al Dozen Autumn week and I have a really easy dry brush anyone can do!

Just pic 3 shades that say AUTUMN to you and have fun!

I honestly wish I hadn't gotten suddenly all cleany and organizy and stuff and, you know, put things back where they belonged. *faint* I'm not sure what got into me. But I honestly have no idea which polishes I used for this mani. I know the base and the green were both Zoyas and the black was Wet n Wild Wildshine Black Creme. Really though, this technique is so easy and will work with any shades you pick out.



A better look...

And you know I had to matte it. Because MATTE!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Autumn: Autumn Pine Cone

Autumn Pine Cone

Good morning! Back for Day 2 of Autumn Week and I'm loving it...today I have a simple autumn look with a pine cone. I missed TREES so much for the last 32 years in South Texas - not many pine trees around. Not much except palms and scrub oaks actually. So I thought I'd give a pine cone a shot since I'm HOME and practically IN Hoosier National Forest.

I have it shiny and matte...

For this mani, I started with a base of OPI My Vampire is Buff and did a quick gradient with one of the Zoyas from last year I believe, but I've put away all the polishes since then - without writing anything down, of course.  The rest is done with acrylic paints.
