Good afternoon, readers! It's time for another nail art week with The Digit-al Dozen! This month's prompt is "summer" and I'm still trying to figure out what I'll be posting on this week. Here in Central Florida, most of the year is "summery" so I am really trying to see what sets Summer apart from the rest of the year for me. Today's post is what you can almost guarantee on a daily basis here during the summer: stormy afternoons. It may be bright and scorching hot all morning and then early afternoon rolls in along with dark clouds and lots of lightning.
This just in: lightning is hard to paint. These still don't really look very lightning-like to me, but it was the best interpretation I could do this morning. The base is OPI Road House Blues.
What do you think? Do you have more storms in the summer where you live? Thanks so much for reading, come back tomorrow for Day 2 of Summer Week with The Digit-al Dozen!
These look EXACTLY like lightning!! Love them!!
ReplyDeleteThey couldn't look more like lightening if they tried ;) These are fantastic! I wish we had more afternoon storms like this! I love love love the rain :)
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I knew you were from Central FL as well or not. Either way, sweet! These nails are accurate lol. Tampa (where I live) ain't called the lightening capitol for nothin.
ReplyDeleteThese look awesome! You did a really great job! I kind of wish we had more thunderstorms here in Central NY, it's either really dry heat or humid, rainy. I like rain but not when it's hot out haha!
ReplyDeleteThese are sweet!! Here in NE Ohio, we've had a weird "cool" summer with lots of rain, but not a lot of storms...last night we had a good ol' thunderstorm and I loved it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE! As a fellow Floridian (grew up in St. Cloud, now living in Gainesville) these are perfect for summer! And I think you did a great job on the lightning! :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about painting lightening but you've definitely pulled it off.
ReplyDeleteScary yet adorable! I love these! :D
ReplyDeletei wish we had storms EVERY day - it's weird too to see you do something so dark, but I like it :) x
ReplyDeleteWe don't get nearly enough summer storms here in England - love these nails! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like this.
ReplyDeleteI know the afternoon rainstorms all too much here in SC! This is a great mani, the fact that it's matte makes it!
ReplyDeleteLoving these! Currently having a storm right now as I type this! :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite things to do in the summer is sit under the porch and storm watch!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. Nothing better than a summer thunderstorm! <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lightening!
ReplyDeleteHa, I love that someone else equates summer with afternoon storms! Very nicely done! I'm from Central Florida too (near Daytona Beach), and I also recently did stormy nails for the OMD2 'outdoors' theme because of all the rain we've been getting. It's been pretty ridiculous lately, hasn't it? But today has been sunny at least!
ReplyDeletethis is so great - it's really soft and pretty, with those bright streaks of lighting cutting through the clouds!
ReplyDeleteThis came out great! I love summer storms!
ReplyDeleteFabulous and what a great color!!
ReplyDeleteI think your lightning looks really good! Great manicure :)
ReplyDeleteI love these! Summer is so stormy here in Miami, too! We have a very predictable 3pm rain shower every day :p
