The Digit-al Dozen DOES Monochrome, Day 5: Sideways Waterfall Nail Art!

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! It's a cold day here in my area of Florida, so I thought a holo would brighten it up a bit! I really wanted to wear Literary Lacquers Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster this week (especially after Debbie from The Crumpet labeled it her favorite polish for the year!), but also didn't want to cover it up too much. I decided to go with a "sideways waterfall" design, hoping it would give just a little added fun to an incredible base color without covering it all up.

GOT Polish + The Digit-al Dozen DOES Monochrome, Day 4: Purple Zigzag Reciprocal Gradient!

Press Sample

Good morning, readers!  I have a triple post for today: this week's GOT Polish Challenge, Digit-al Dozen Monochrome Day 4, and another review for Sticky Nails stencils! Are you ready? Did you see yesterday's post with a different Sticky Nails guide? Go check it out!

Today's mani was challenging for me. First, I knew I had to keep the polishes in the same color family. Second, I had to pick colors that were older than a year in my stash. Lastly, I wanted to show another shape of tape guide from Sticky Nails. So I ended up with zigzag stripes and a reciprocal gradient with Zoya Monica and Milani Violet Dash. I did a reciprocal gradient back during Tape Week with The Digit-al Dozen, and I loved it so much I wanted to try again. Globe & Nail has an awesome tutorial so check that out if you want to know where I got the idea and how to do it yourself!

Swatch and Review: SoFlaJo Goldstone!

Press Sample

Good afternoon, readers!! I have a surprise second posting for today. SoFlaJo just released a trio of polishes for Valentine's Day, The Just Love Her Collection, and I have one to show you! This is very LE, there are only a couple dozen made, so I wanted to post as soon as I could to give you a chance to grab one before it was sold out.

Goldstone is a red-toned brown jelly polish packed with gorgeous gold shimmer. I'm showing 3 thin coats with no top coat for these photos. It applied easily, but you have to build it up because of it's sheer jelly nature. Just gorgeous!

Good morning, readers! Are you enjoying Monochrome Week with The Digit-al Dozen? I've feeling very meh this week but am trying. AND I broke a nail! AHH! It was SO low, I had to cut and file the others down so the rest of the week will be mega shorties :(

Today's post is a fun review of a new product for me: Sticky Nails nail design stencils. You all know I'm a big fan of using striping tape to make fun nail art designs and these are BETTER than striping tape! They are shaped and make for really fun designs without needing artistic skill.
