Digit-al Dozen Does Black; Day 3

These are the coolest nails I've done in a while..... to me, anyway!  They were suppose to be off beat Valentine's Day nails but I decided to share as part of Digit-al Dozen week with the theme of black instead. With it being so close to Vday, they are still relevant anyway!  But I do think these could be worn any time of the year because honestly, do hearts or skittles ever go out of season?  Here's what I came up with!

This is my second ever smooshy stamper mani...I actually did these a few days after my first smooshy when I thought skittle smooshies might be cool.

It took me longer to pick out all the polishes than actually do the smooshy!  Here they all are sorted by colour; there were so many, I didn't make note of them, sorry.  Just tried to get light, medium and dark shades of blue, yellow, pink, purple and green with the mandatory add of white for some contrast interest.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top before stamping.  So cool; I could use this is a base for so many different stamping images!  This will be my go faux water marbling look as I have no skill in water marbling lol!

Stamped using an image from Kelly Negri KN12 using FunkyFingers Gesso.

I actually thought the above nails were pret-ty cool but decided to do some double stamping as I was doing Vday mani's at the time I did these and was in a Valentine's state of mind!  Picked a heart from MoYou Pro 09 and stamped in the middle of each nail (well, as best as I could; still not perfect even with clear stamper!)

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.  I'm terribly sorry; I don't have a great pix of this as there's either lots of top coat glare or the pix was fuzzy.  Hopefully you can still see how cool this was!

Not as much glare but not the clearest :(

Here's the other ladies Day 3 nails!

Dandelion Fluff!

My cuticles appear to be on the mend since my peel episode from last week...now, just have a little hangnail which hopefully will heal up in a few days. I cut down my nails quite a bit over the weekend too because they seem to go all wonky when they reach a certain point, and even though I've read Loodie Loodie's care tips and tricks for wonky nails several times, I can't seem to correct mine enough once they reach that wonky lenghth, so cut them down.  I embrace short nails...it's the time I can use all those nail stamping images that are too small when my nails are longer.  I also like to do funky frenches with my shorter nails so don't mind the shorter length at all!



For this mani, started with a base of two coats of Pretty Serious Viscious Vampire, no topcoat.



Stamped using MoYou Pro-09 (middle), Pro-06 XL (thumb, ring and pinky) and Pro-04 (index) using white Konad special polish.



Topped with SV to finish.



Here's a look at a couple of the plates used.

Is it weird if I post pix of dandelion fluff I took last summer? I tried so hard to get a pix that looked like a perfect globe and didn't have any fluff missing as well as get it centered, etc.  So pretty for a weed!

Thanks for looking!
