Digit-al Dozen DOES It Again; Day 6, Love and Heartbreak

Here it is Day 6 of the Digit-al Dozen challenges; if you are keeping track, I didn't do a Day 5 challenge simple due to time restraints so sorry about that.  This and the remaining posts you'll see over the next week are scheduled posts as I'm heading off on vacation.....I hope there are no glitches while I'm away as I'll have limited to nil internet access for the next days 10 days.  I will be sharing some pix of my holiday when I return (at some point) as well as sharing the mani I'll be wearing while away which will include a review of CND Vinylux...really excited to try this while I'm away as I know I won't have a spare minute to do my nails while I'm away!

It was kind of hard to get into some of the holiday themed mani's when they aren't in season and I found the Love and Heartbreak challenge a bit of a challenge.  I don't typically do lovey dovey type of mani's except around Valentine's Day...but I guess that's why it's called a challenge!  Here's what I came up with...not overboard by all means, but enough hearts that I hope I hit the theme!



Started with a base of two coats of Ruby Wing Mystic.  I had bought a few of these these colour changing polishes a while now but this was the first time I've tried them out so was interested to see how much they would change.



Decided to do a glitter gradient so added NYX Dark Red glitter.



Topped with p2 Glamorous Finish Holo Topcoat.



While I didn't mind this, it wasn't giving me the glitter factor I was going for, so added a little CrowsToes Morticia at tips.  This wasn't exactly what I was looking for either but at least added a little bit more interest.



Stamped using white Konad special polish using Big SdP W.



Topped with SV.



The next morning was a bright, sunny day so was able to see the colour change...wowzers!!  I was pretty impressed!



I find polishes like this pretty fascinating.  I think I bought three of these colour changing polishes but for sure, want to pick up a few more.  I also want to try some thermal polishes; hopefully soon!

Here's the other ladies Love and Heartbreak mani's!

Digit-al Dozen DOES it All Again; Music, Day 3

What do some people do to music.....(well, that's a loaded question now, isn't it?)...but I was thinking dance....even though this mani is probably more like dancing in the disco era and I'm not sure how many people are dancing to disco music nowadays.....anyway, this is what I came up with for the music challenge!

Started with a base of skittles, starting from the thumb and going clockwise the polishes are China Glaze Flyin' High, Sally Hansen Insta-dri Orange Impulse, China Glaze Happy Go Lucky, OPI  If You Moust You Moust, and Sally Hansen Insta-dri Lickety-Split Lime; all two coats, topped with SV.



Stamped using black Konad special polish using images from Lilic A06 (ring finger), MJ XVII (thumb), Big SdP W (pinky and middle), and FUN 2 (index).



Added peace symbols in assortment of sizes using Lilic A06 and QA 11, flowers from SdP 67 and love wording from Lilic A06.  The colourful stamping polishes used were Sally Hansen Insta-dri Lickety-Split Lime and Orange Impulse, FUN stamping polishes in Mango Shake, Bubble Blue and Cotton Candy.



Added random dots throughout using same colourful stamping polished mentioned in last paragraph.



Topped with SV to finish.




Big SdP W was a plate I had used for the first time here; here's a closer look at it.









Personally, I love disco era music.  The Bee Gees are one of my favourite all time groups and there's nothing better than driving to a cranked Jive Talkin' or Stayin' Alive in the car...although on their more recently released CD One Night Only (I have the DVD too!!)  (These albums were just coming out when I was a pre-teen so I have all the original albums too (and some of this era's music on 8-tracks some place in the attic or basement...makes me feel old now!)  I recently watched Saturday Night Fever on TV when it was on....love John Travolta's strut...which is unusual for me as I'm not a person to watch a movie more than once but I've watched it several times now!

Here's the other ladies Music mani's.
