Digit-al Dozen Does Childhood; Day 5

Here were are at Day 5 of Digit-al Dozen childhood week!    When I was thinking about all the things I did as a kid, one of the things I thought of were the times that my cousins would spent the weekend at my Grandpa and Grandma's house and we would sit around the kitchen table and visit.  Before too long, some type of game was started for all  to play; sometimes it was Romolli, other times it was Monopoly (which is what I planned on doing for Day 5 as there are some awesome Monopoly stamping images until I seen that Glowstars did a Monopoly mani here) sometimes spoons, so I thought what else did we all do....and it came to me....of course, the Ouiji Board!  Do you know how many nights my cousins and I summoned the spirits, then scared ourselves silly with the boards craziness so much that we couldn't go to sleep at night? Good memories lol! So today's mani is based on the Ouiji Board!



Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Vampire is Buff topped with one coat of Elevation Polish Aguja St. Exupery.



Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.



Stamped using assortment of images; fauxand A02 (moon and star on pinky; small stars on thumb),  Handy 18 (sun on index), MoYou Bridal Collection-01 (yes on index), Pet'la Football LE (numbers on middle and ring), Nailways Back to Basics ABC 123 (letters on middle, ring and thumb), MJ Wedding Day (yes on index), and random fauxnad plate bought from Walmart but no name (larger stars on thumb).  Used Funky Fingers Dark Night as stamping polish.



Unfortunately, I didn't do too great of a job lining up some of the letters but maybe someday, I'll get better lol!  Topped with KBShimmer.


I thought this would look best matte so added OPI matte and do like the vintage look of it better.  BIT it annoyed me that the 3 on the middle finger got pulled.  I didn't notice it until much later in the day when I was wearing it or could have corrected it at least for the pix; oh well.  But really like the matte look of Elevation
Aguja St. Exupery glitter peaking underneath; inspiration for another mani, I think!  I just realized typing this post that I forgot the heart image for the moving heart piece on the board...I had it out to do but forgot!





I did my other hand slightly different; used an image from MoYou Pro Collection-14 and topped with KBShimmer Clearly on top to finish.

Digital Dozen; Fashion, Day 5

Day 5 of Fashion Week!  When I was thinking of fashion, it got me to thinking about designers....those who create the awesome fashions!  After searching through some pix on the internet and my plate stash to see what images I have that may relate to fashion labels, this is what I came up with.

I'll be honest; this seemed so much cooler in my head....and to top it off, there were a couple fingers that the stamping is so way off which was disappointing so what could have been "wow, really cool!" is just 'OK'.  

Anyhooo, base polishes used, starting at thumb and going clockwise are CQ Vintage, FingerPaints Black Expressionism, OPI Bride's Bouquet, Borghese Almondine and OPI Bride's Bouquet again; all two coats, topped with SV.

For the fabric look I was going for to mimic the Gucci purse, sponged index finger using Barry M Mushroom and Quo by Orly Naked.



Stamped using assortment of Konad special polishes using Handy 24 (thumb), Handy 26 (index) GA21 (lines), Handy 12 (Chanel logo), Handy 17 (index), and Handy 14 (pinky).



For a little added bling.....this is fashion week so I think it is appropriate....added a few colourful rhinestones to the index finger.



Topped with SV to finish.



(Still ticked at myself for really missing the mark on the Burberry and Chanel fingers!)

Here's a look at the Handy plates that have fashion images on them; there's a few more than the ones  used here.

A couple notes about these Handy plates; they stamp well and I was especially impressed with how well the very small, detailed images stamp. For example, the Gucci image used on the ring finger; to get images that small and in such detail is amazing for a stamping plate!  However, the full size images are on the smaller side and may not fit fully on the nail for those with long or wide nails.

These Handy plates and more can be seen on Mundo de Unas' FB page here.
