The Digit-al Dozen DOES Texture, Day 2: Lava Flow Nail Art!

Good morning, readers! I have my second manicure for Texture Week with The Digit-al Dozen to share with you today! I am pretty stoked about how this one came out! I was inspired by some lava rocks in our fire pit that I noticed last night while watching the kids on the playset, but I didn't want to do another "rock" mani after the fossil one yesterday. So a lava flow incorporated the texture of the dried lava rock and the lava as well.

The Digit-al Dozen DOES Texture, Day 1: Fossil Nail Art!

Good morning, readers!! It's time for this month's Digit-al Dozen nail art week and the theme is TEXTURE!! I'm pretty excited about this theme, you know how I love textured manis and I'm brainstorming up some fun ideas.

For today's post, I went a little outside of the box. Instead of going for textured polish (which you know I will probably use this week in a few different ways) I tried to think of things in nature that are textured. My daughter, Hailey, had a school project recently where you put things under your paper (rocks, leaves, etc) and rub a crayon over the paper to see the "fossils." Sounded like a cool concept for nail art, right?

Swatch Saturday: MLB Collection by OPI!

Press Sample

Hello, readers! It's been a crazy week around here so sorry for the lack of posts. Next week is nail art week with The Digit-al Dozen so we can look forward to lots of fun posts starting on Monday! But first, today's post is on the MLB (Major League Baseball) Collection by OPI. I'm not a baseball fan so I'm not sure how these work with some team colors, but I like a lot of the polishes. Three blues, two reds, an orange, and a white shimmer don't seem for an exciting collection, though. I've done comparisons of the similar shades at the bottom of the post so make sure you check those out and find which colors work best for your favorite team.
