Digit-al Dozen Does Traditions; Day 3

Here we are at Day 3 of Digit-al Dozen week with the theme of traditions.  This is a mani I did based upon our family watching all the holiday movies on TV this time of year; even though the kids are all grown up, we still enjoy watching our favourite shows!


Started with a gradient of KBShimmer I'd Rather Be With Blue by Cosmetic Sanctuary, Sky Jinx and Soul Deep.  The thumb is Misslyn Lemon Green, CND Green Scene and Essence We Love Winter Holidays!


Top coated with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

For some seasonal interest, did some snow using an image from Chez Hiver A001 (it's kinda sad I had to stamp this on, isn't it lol!)

Top coated before adding stamper decals.

I made a few stamper decals.....

....then added them to fingers.  Plates used are Sugar Bubbles SBS 08 (thumb), Navidad 3 (middle), Infinity 13 (ring) and MJ VI (pinky).  Index finger is from MR-01 using a custom mix of MdU 23 and 57.  All stamped images were originally stamped using FunkyFingers Dark Knight and filled in with acrylic paints once dry.  Rudolph's nose is Girly Bits Fire Engine Red Stamping Polish.

Added a flower to Frosty's hat using dots and A Charlie Brown Christmas wouldn't be complete without the Charlie Brown Christmas tree that was hand painted in then dotted in a few ornaments.

Added a bunch of random snowflakes from BFF Natal using FunkyFingers Gesso.


I couldn't resist; my favourite image!


Finished with a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TD to finish.

Here's the other Day 3 mani's!



Thanks for looking!

Happy Easter!

I've always wanted to do an Easter mani using Easter lilies and when I sat down last night to do Easter nails, I decided that it would finally be the day!  Here's what I came up with!



Initially, I was going to do my usual stamping on all fingers, but thought I would do something more simple for these nails.  As knew that for the lilies, I would have dark green and yellow as part of the accent nail, so when I was looking for glitter polishes, wanted something with both yellow and green and Girly Bits Erin Go Braugh-less fit the bill!  This is two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls with one coat of Girly Bits Erin Go Braugh-less on top of one coat of Essence 159 The Green and the Grunge, topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped middle finger using an image from MoYou Pro 11 using Funky Fingers Dark Night and Mundo de Unas X.  Ring finger is using MoYou Festive Collection 14 using Mundo de Unas 11 and 7.  Added a couple butterflies from Infinity 54.  Added few more green leaves by brush on the lily and dots in centre of lilies.


This isn't MoYou Pro 11; it is MoYou Pro 7 which I intended to use to get all three lilies on the nail; but unfortunately, the lilies didn't stamp that well so had to use the larger image instead.

MoYou Pro Collection 07


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.


This is the image I really wanted to use which is a Pet'la plate.  This is my testing out the image sizes to see if I could get it somehow to fit on my nails.





Have a great Easter Sunday; thanks for looking!
