Digit-al Dozen DOES Animal Week Day 2: Hummingbird!
Hello, readers! I have the second post for the Digit-al Dozen Animal Week for you! Today's animal is a Hummingbird and it was my husband's idea. We were trying to brainstorm about uncommon animals and I thought it would be a fun idea to try it! I found this image in google search so that's what I was trying to recreate:

Digit-al Dozen DOES Animal Week Day 1: Yellow Tang!
Hello, readers! It's that time of the month again--Digit-al Dozen art week! This month's theme is animals! I've done a ton of animal nail art since I've had Adventures In Acetone so this week is a challenge to think of new animals to post!
Today, I went with a Yellow Tang fish. After I did this jelly sandwich mani with FEVERlacquer Easter Dress(such a perfect jelly with tons of shimmer!) and Elevation Polish Stay Behind, Catch a Wave, my husband and my friend (Ashley from Ashley Is Polish Addicted) both told me it looked like bubbles in the ocean. We've been talking about the Finding Dory (Finding Nemo 2) that was just announced and I remembered that the Yellow Tang was obsessed with bubbles so it only seemed appropriate to add a Yellow Tang to the bubble nails.

I had to throw in a macro shot of this gorgeous combo! FEVERlacquer Easter Dress and Elevation Polish Stay Behind, Catch a Wave!

Mommy's NOTD: Fun, Spring Nails!
Good morning, readers! Today, I have what's currently on my nails and I am really loving them! I recently bought some new Lynnderella glitter polishes and this is my first look using one of them.
Lynnderella Candy Blossom is from the new Everything's Coming Up Neon collection and it was one of my favorites based on her swatches. I am so happy that this is one that I bought, because I love it so much! The assortment of glitters, some satin, some neon, some matte, along with a gorgeous shimmer make this a super fun glitter that stands out in my collection.
I chose to do a gradient base for Candy Blossom so the different glitter colors would pop more!

I used:
Duri Rejuvacote
1 coat of Orly Lemonade
Orly Lemonade and OPI That's Hot! Pink with a makeup sponge for the gradient
1-2 coats of Lynnderella Candy Blossom
1 coat of NYC top coat
What do you think of this fun spring look? I do want to add that once my thin top coat dried, some of the bigger shaped glitters were catching on my clothes/hair so I would recommend a thicker top coat and/or a glitter taming top coat to seal those in.
You can purchase Lynnderella polishes on ebay for $23: http://lynnderella.com
You can also bid on Limited Edition polishes as well.

Light It Up Blue for Autism Awareness!
Hello, readers! Yesterday was Blue Day for Autism Awareness but I wasn't able to post, so I'm a day late. Better late than never when it's for a good cause! I don't have any autistic family members so I can't say much about knowing what it is like, but I am always up for bringing awareness through my blog.
I chose two untried polishes for this mani and I love how they turned out together! Zoya Tallulah was a ONE coater (shocker!) and is simply gorgeous! My accent nail is OPI Get Your Number, my first OPI liquid sand polish. It is super blingy and I'm showing three coats. I don't think I let it dry enough between coats because it's not as textured as I was expecting. Pretty, though!

Little Miss Glittery Fancy Pants
Hello, readers! I have a fun glitter gradient look to show you today. Sometimes my favorite nail art is as simple as a glitter gradient. Finding out new combinations within my stash is fun and easy!
I haven't had a chance to try out China Glaze Fancy Pants since I bought it a few weeks ago. Once I put it on, I realized that it had a gorgeous pink shimmer and I went to my stash to find a similar color in a glitter. I found Nubar Petunia Sparkle and it was spot on for the color in Fancy Pants! I used a makeup sponge and did a reverse glitter gradient starting at the cuticle line about 1/3 up to the tips. Then, I did the same with the middle 1/3 of my nail using the prettiest multicolored glitter in my stash: Cirque XXX. This was so sparkly and I really loved it on my nails, I wore it for 3 days!

Look at the pretty holo glitters in XXX! And you can really see the pink shimmer in Fancy Pants as well.
