Digit-al Dozen DOES It Again; Day 8, Animals

I was looking through my plates recently to get ideas for the animal challenge and discovered a super cute animal image.  While I've looked at this plate a dozen times at least, I never noticed this particular image before but as soon as I seen it, I knew I wanted to do my animal challenge mani around it; this is what I came up with!

Started with a base of one coat of Sinful Colors Cool Gray and two coats each of Sation Drama Doll (pink), Maybelline Sweet Clementine (orange) and Sinful Colors Pull Over (yellow), topped with SV.

Stamped using Apipila 03 (pig and tiger), Cheeky Jumbo Plate 9 Wild at Heart (giraffe) and the super cute animals is from MJ XII replacement plate using black Konad special polish.

Added a few random dots using same base colours to accent throughout; topped with SV.

Unfortunately, my little nails don't show a whole lot of the animals so I took a pix of it...and they still don't all show up because the image is larger than the stamper ( I couldn't get it to pick up on any of my XL squishy stampers for some reason). This would be an amazingggggg image to make a stamper decal with, don't you think?  Those little giraffe's are adorable! 

Here's a closer look at MJ XII replacement plate. For those not familiar, the originally shipped MJ XII plate had a couple of misetched designs and MyOnLine Shop sent replacement plates out; the replacement plate had a few slightly different designs.

Here's the other ladies animal mani's.

Thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen, Books; Day 3

This is quite a change from the last post!  From blood and gore to sweet and fluffy!

My mani is based upon a book of nursery rhymes that I used to read to my three kids when they were little including the rhyme Mary Had a Little Lamb.  Unfortunately, my kids aren't that little anymore and its been a while since I read from the book so I couldn't locate it readily so I'm using this image from Usborne Books at Home.

Started with a base of two coats of Zoya Shelby (pink) and one of the OPI Liquid Sands, Solitaire; no topcoat.

Stamped using Cheeky Jumbo 9, Wild at Heart and Chez Xmas 001 (accent) using black Konad special polish.

Added a few random dots.

Topped with SV.

In hindsight, once I did the topcoat, I wish I didn't topcoat OPI Solitaire to keep it more grainy-like/rough to mimic the look of the texture of wool, but hindsight is wonderful, and I'll keep it in mind if I ever decide to do a sheep/lamb mani again!  (I'm guessing this mani would be good for Little Bo Peep, too!)
