Digal-Dozen; Day 2, Black n White


Day 2 for the Digit-al Dozen black and white challenge!  Did you check out yesterday's nails from the group?  It was interesting to see the diversity of the designs that the ladies in the group came up with simply using black and white! And the freehand skills are off the wall!  I'm always envious of anyone who can freehand because I have a hard time dotting (as you'll see in this post!) never mind freehand a design/image with a brush!  This is my Day 2 mani....no free handing here, you can see!


I've been experimenting with different white bases as my bottle of my go to white, OPI Bride's Bouquet, is almost empty and I haven't been able to find a replacement.  I did try NYX White and while I love the brightness of it, I'm not a fan of the formula or the brush, so still searching.  This time, I thought I'd try OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls; this was the first time I used it even though I posted mani's done later already.  It's an OK white but I wish it was a little brighter.  I much prefer the OPI brush and formula and it may have to do until I find something better.  This is two coats, topped with SV.


Stamped using black Konad special polish using SdP C-13.



Now, I know the challenge is black and white, but the rules for the challenge are open to our personal interpretation so I decided to add a pop of colour. (You have to keep in mind that I wear my mani's and do my entire nails each time I do them and this is just a little plain for my taste.)  So added a few dots.



Did you notice that the balls rotated each nail?  Trying to give the illusion of juggling!  I thought I was clever anyway!  (You can also see how I messed up the dots!)  I then decided to add some more colour so added a few more. All polishes are Konad special polishes.



Topped with SV.





Here's the other ladies Day 2 manis!

Thanks for looking!

  8. Cult Nails Tempest is my very favorite white creme polish right now - a little more $$, but worth it because I don't have to spend as much time painting! I LOVE that you made the balls rotate to complete the juggling effect, so clever :)

  11. So clever to rotate the balls :) And never feel bummed about not being able to freehand! Every time I've tried stamping I have to do it about 5 times and even then it looks like my dog did it...you have skills!

  12. This is great! You are the queen of stamping and I bet lots of people are jealous of those skills!
