NailNation 3000 Awesome Sauce #451

Did you have a good weekend?  My weekend was great; nothing better than spending the weekend in cottage country when the leaves are starting to turn, looking at the beautiful scenery with warm and sunny skies during the day, then clear and cool evenings! 

I have around 45 mani's in archives so thought I'd share one of them versus what's been on my nails lately; here's one from the middle of July but the colour is fall appropriate!  Heck, it can be worn anytime too!

Started with a base of two coats of NailNation 3000 #451, Awesome Sauce, no topcoat.

Stamped using white Konad special polish using Chez Floral 001 on all fingers except accent; accent is SdP 71.



Added a few blue dots for a pop of colour using Mundo de Unas stamping polish, colour no. 5.



Topped with SV.  Unfortunately, the base, stamping polish and topcoat had a weird reaction and turned the white an off colour; it wasn't hardly noticeable on the nails but you can tell in the pix that the white polish is no longer a bold white.



Lastly, there's a new tab at the top of my home page; the Digit-al Dozen has started a blog and the tab has a direct link to it or you can go here.....please take a few minutes to check it out if you haven't already!  There are also links to various social media via the blog so you don't miss anything regardless which media you use!

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen, Animal Week; Day 3

Another mani for Animal Week; this is life on the farm.  I've had this as an idea for a while now and am so glad that I was able to finally use it for animal theme week!



Started with a base of two coats of Petite Color Fever Creme Blue; topped with SV.



After sponging the index finger with white polish, stamped the farm scene.  Plates used were MW62 (pig and horse), SdP 95 (chickens), Dash 6 (cow) and QA 19 (house).  Stamping polishes were black Konad special polish and FUN stamping polishes in Cotton Candy and Mango Shake.

Stamped in a few more images.  The plates used were SdP 12 (sun), CH36 (clouds near house), Konad m79 (rest of the clouds), SdP 71 (butterflies above cow) and Konad m83 (bird above horse).  Royal purple and white stamping polishes were used for the white and purple stamping.

Using green and apple green Konad special polishes, added grass to three fingers using a dotter.

Dotted in some dirt to the pig and chicken fingers.  (lol...chicken fingers!)  It was suppose to mimic dirt; while I don't mind it on the pinky, the dotting didn't translate well on the thumb.  I took a sponge and pressed it a bit to make smudges but that didn't really work that well either.  I also took a brush and added in a little tall grass on the horse and cow fingers.

Topped with SV.

Here's the other Day 3 Animal Week mani's from the rest of the Digital Dozen.

Snow White for Poisonous Challenge

I just realized that I've never posted this!  I did this mani for FB Adventures in Stamping when the challenge was poisonous some time ago. This is what I had posted for the challenge.

You remember Snow White? Her wicked step mother, the Queen, was beautiful but evil. She asked her magic mirror, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?". The mirror always said the Queen until one day, it said Snow White. The Queen was furious, and ordered her huntsman to kill Snow White. He took her to the forest but could not kill her. She was found by the 7 Dwarfs and she went to live with them. One day, the Queen again asked her mirror who was the fairest of them all and the mirror again answered Snow White. The queen discovered Snow White was living in the forest so turned herself into an old hag and knocked on the door of the cottage in the woods. Snow White answered; the Queen asked Snow White if she would like to buy an apple. Snow White couldn't resist but the apples were POISONOUS! She took a bite and then fell into a deep sleep. Many years later, a young Prince came across Snow White, kissed her and the spell from the POISONOUS apple was broken! And they lived Happily Ever After in the Prince's Castle!

  

Started with a base of OPI Bride's Bouquet (no pix as I've shared many times before...its just your basic white!) with Finger Paints Black Expressionism on thumb to accent. 

Stamped using assortment of white Konad stamping polishes using  SdP 38 (evil Queen), fauxnad D (couple kissing), SdP 30 (Snow White), SdP 71 (castle), SdP XXL2 (apple), SdP 27 (mirror).

Added a few more images that were QA 18 (bitten apples and small heart above couple), SdP 29 (spider), fauxnad H27 (fireworks) and fauxnad H47 (bird above Snow White).

Added a few dots for interest.

Topped with SV. 

Another fauxnad image plate that has a few Snow White images just arrived; however, its untried as of yet.  I ordered from same eBay seller as noted on the pix and you can check it out here!

The Crumpet's Daughter's Birthday

Today, over at FB Adventures in Stamping, we did mani's to celebrate The Crumpet's daughter's 9th birthday....this is what I came up with.

Started with a base of OPI If You Moust You Moust from the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse collex.  I almost passed on this polish because I thought it seems similar to other pink cremes I already have in my stash....but I couldn't resist!  The pix below was taken outside in overcast skies; it is slightly brighter than this IRL.  This is two coats, no topcoat.

Added a layer of Deborah Lippmann Sweet Dreams.  One coat, no topcoat.  While this may seem uneven and bumpy from the pix/angle, its smooth as glass and so much more beautiful IRL!  I want to add Sweet Dreams to every pink polish! 

Another view.  This pix was indoors at a window; the one above was outside in overcast skies.  The weather was just terrible while I was away for the weekend; I have no great lighting source when I'm not at home other than whatever Mother Nature provides!

Stamped!  I didn't take a pix of this but used fauxnad XL K light pink Konad stamping polish and stamped confetti on the thumb and stars on the middle finger.  Some of this shows up slightly in the pix; just added for some layering interest.  Used Konad white stamping polish for main stampings, using fauxnad XL K (balloons and happy birthday cake), SdP 62 (girl), SdP 66 (comb and perfume), SdP 77 (flowers on middle finger and scattered elsewhere), SdP 32 (present and star), SdP 67 (bow), SdP 71 (castle and butterfly), SdP 65 (sunflower) and Sdp 57 (starfish and shell). 

Added a few yellow dots for flower centres and a few other random dots scattered using yellow Sally Hansen Instadri.

  

Topped with SV.

SdP's can be bought here and I got the fauxnad XL K plate here!

I hope the lil Crumpett enjoyed all the mani's in her honour...it was a lot of fun putting it together!!

Hope you had a great weekend and thanks for looking!
