The Digit-al Dozen DOES Childhood, Day 1: Power Rangers!

Good morning, readers! It's time for this month's Digit-al Dozen nail art week! The theme is Childhood and I can't wait to see the versatile manis from the group this week. This is such a fun theme and it can go so many different ways--from things reminding us of our own childhoods, things that remind us of our own children, things that are just child-like in general, etc.

My first mani is inspired by a tv show that has been around for YEARS, with many different series themes. It's the Power Rangers! It debuted in 1993 and you can find 20+ seasons on Netflix today. My kids, Hailey (6.5) and Owen (2.5) are obsessed with them. They pick Power Rangers more often than any other show during their tv time--and their favorite series is Power Rangers Samurai. 

 I've recreated the 5 main Samurai Power Ranger helmets on my nails for today's look.

In case you aren't familiar with the show, or this specific series of Power Ranger, here is a stock photo of their favorite Power Rangers:

Here are the polishes used for this design:

  • Thumb: Zoya Eden.
  • Index: OPI Jade is the New Black
  • Middle: OPI Coca-Cola Red
  • Ring: Elevation Polish Lake of the Isles
  • Pinky: OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana
I used Rica Whiteout and Blackout for the details and my Pure Color Glamor #1 nail art brush (which is my current favorite!!). KBShimmer Clearly On Top was the top coat used.




What do you think of these? Are you a fan of any Power Rangers series? Which is your favorite? Thanks so much for reading! Come back tomorrow for the next Childhood Week mani with The Digit-al Dozen.

Take a peek at what the other ladies did for Day 1 below!

    After seeing this mani I'm sad that I never watched Power Rangers. That's the problem with being from the country where we couldn't get cable.

    The boys are obsessed as well - I think Super Samurai is the fave at the moment but it changes so often I can't keep up!

    Oh my lanta! I had no idea they still had the Power Rangers on TV! My son loved this show and we had so many Power Rangers toys it wasn't funny!

    First of all, I love how you translated all the symbols! I had no idea that Power Rangers was still on tv -- I was OBSESSED when I was a kid!

    I didn't even know there were different versions of Power Ranger, like those Samurais. I remember I used to watch them on Saturday mornings, which were my "TV time" when I was a kid.

    These are awesome! I loved the Power Rangers as a kid, but in my day they were the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I don't know anything about the Samurai ones!

    Rangers came out just after my age group, but I've had lots of experience with my own son loving it.
