The Digit-al Dozen DOES Metal, Day 2: Barbecue Grill!

Good morning! Are you ready to see my second mani for "metal" week with The Digit-al Dozen? This theme is HARD! I find myself walking around the house and looking for things that are metal for inspiration. Something metal that we use a lot in the summer is the barbecue grill! I love when Mr. Adventures In Acetone uses the grill for dinner, it gives me a break from cooking and we get super yummy food. It's perfect for the days that we spend outside swimming or watching the kids play in the back yard!

 The bottle and corn cob color is OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana from the Brazil Collection! For the base, I painted on OPI Coca-Cola Red and used the saran wrap method found in my Butterfly Wing Tutorial to add in some dark grey and black for the hot coals. After painting on the food and using Seche Vite top coat, I decided they would be more appropriate with a matte top coat so I added the one from Butter London.


What do you think? The metal is mostly hidden in this mani, but the food just wouldn't be the same if it wasn't for the grill! I hope you've liked my silly take on this theme and can't wait to see what I come up with for tomorrow! Thanks for reading!

  3. Too adorable, and perfect for summer! I LOVE being able to throw something on the grill (well, I love it when my HUSBAND throws something on the grill - I don't know how to use it)! It's so easy, yet the results are always delicious!
