Digit-al Dozen Does All That Glitters; Day 5

It's day 5 of the Digit-al Dozen all that glitters challenge!  I hope you've seen some of the other ladies mani's during the week; there has been some fabulous and creative nails posted!  This is my day 5 mani; it was sheer accident how it came to be.  I was going through a box of polishes looking for another polish that I had ordered in the fall, and as I was wading through them, these two were sitting side by side like just an inspiration that they were meant to go together!  The funny thing is the polish that I used for a stamping polish isn't even a stamping polish but when I seen them together I thought, hmmm, I'm going to try to use it as the colours go so well together!  And it worked pretty good, there's even itty bitty glitter in it which is how these nails came to be for day 5!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Salon Perfect Icy Haute, no top coat.

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using an image from FUN 21 using Missha Crystal Polish HBR01.  This is a regular polish, holographic packed with fine glitter in clear base but so packed, it would be opaque in a couple coats.  I sampled this with other images; the lines have to be fairly thick to pick up well due to the fine glitter in the polish.  This image from FUN 21 worked out well!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

When I was searching for some loose glitter for this weeks challenge, I rediscovered these coil copper studs and think they go perfect with these nails!

I blew up a couple of the nails to show that yes, there is glitter in these nails to make them challenge appropriate! Hopefully you can see some peeks of holo too in the stamped image; in real life, it was obvious!

It's not often these type of polishes stamp well due to that fine glitter but the stamping turned out great!

Love this picture!

Here's the other ladies day 5 mani's!

Digit-al Dozen Does Gradient; Day 2

For day 2 of the Digit-al Dozen gradient theme, I'm sharing a gradient of pinks using Salon Perfect polishes that I had picked up on the Easter weekend during a quick cross border trip.  These nails were so much brighter than really shown, it's too bad they don't show how vibrant they really were!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a sponged gradient using Salon Perfect Tickled Pink, Let's Not Coral and Tropicool Punch (nope, not a typo!) , shown with no top coat.

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.

Stamped using an image from Pet'la Koy.

Topped with Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does Neon; Day 4

I'm seriously thinking that the Digit-al Dozen changed the theme of this weeks challenge to sponged gradient neon mani's and I was the only one who got the memo!  That's my story and I'm sticking to it as I have yet another sponged gradient to share for Day 4 of Digit-al Dozen neon week!

I had been to the US in the spring and picked up a few neon Salon Perfect polishes at Walmart; this is two coats of Salon Perfect Summer Escape, no top coat.

Sponged using Salon Perfect Haute Pink (but I don't see much pink in it!)



Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.




Stamped using Funky Fingers Gesso using an image from Apipila P.36.
