Digit-al Dozen Does Decades; Day 4

This is what you come up with when you sit down to do your nails for the decades challenge and draw a blank!  All the decades bahahaha!  Here's what I came up with!

I had ordered a few of the KBShimmer Office Collection from Harlow; they arrived this week so I decided to use them for this mani; started with a base of two coats of KBshimmer Makin' Copies, shown with no top coat.

Added a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Did a sponged gradient using KBShimmer Makin' Copies, Fax of Life and Cubicle Pusher.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with an image from Moyra Stamping Plate27-Dreamology using FunkyFingers Gesso.

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped a bunch of decades using MoYou Back to the 50's-01, MoYou Back to the 60's-01, MoYou Back to the 70's-1, MoYou Back to the 80's-01, MoYou Back to the 90's-01 and Nailways Back to Basics 123 ABC (for 20's, 30's and 40's).

Digit-al Dozen Does Decades; Day 4

Have you enjoyed DD decade challenge so far?  I know I've said it before, but it always amazes me the creativity the other ladies come up with for their mani's...I feel I barely keep up!

Anywhoo, every mani I want to do for decades is using bright pops of colour and thought that wasn't very imaginative so decided to go for something a little different for this one.  This decade is the 50's; I went with black and white on the basis of black and white TV back in the day.  If I'm being honest, I was going to do Elvis but I'm pretty sure there will be another lady doing Elvis at some point this week (here's looking at you, Laurie!) so decided on something a little different. Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and one coat of FingerPaints Black Expressionism topped with SV (no pix).  Stamped using Konad white special polish and FUN black stamping polish using images from MoYou Back to the 50's-01.

Touched up some of the stamping with same polishes and added dots for filler.

Topped with SV to finish.

Here's the other ladies Day 4 decades mani's!

Thriller!

Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorize Y'awl's Neighbourhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found
Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist
The Evil Of The Thriller...

I had this concept in the back of my mind for a while now...to create a Halloween mani based upon Michael Jackson's Thriller video; this is what I came up with!

Before I go any further, I will mention that some of the pix have been edited. I very rarely ever edit my pix (as I'm sure you can tell!) but some of my cuticles were just a mess by the time this mani was finished so I blurred the cuticle edges in a few of the pix.  Even with the blur some is a little obvious but it hides the majority of it!

Did a base of one coat of one coat of Sinful Colors Cool Gray on all fingers except pinky which is one coat of CND Blackjack.  No topcoat.

Sponged using Barry M Gray, Sinful Colors Jungle Trail and Leap Frog.

Added eyes on pinky using L'Oreal The Temptress' Touch.  Stamped using assortment of images; FUN 8 (moon), LLC-B (tree), MoYou Back to the 50's-01 (car), Chez Halloween 001 (zombie on index), MJ XXV (zombie on middle), Sugar Bubbles 001 (zombie on ring; grave on middle) and HD04 (graveyard on index) all using black Konad special polish.

Added a little red to the eyes on the pinky and tree branches on middle.  I tried to hand draw branches on the index finger but it was a miserable fail so made it appear to be a zombie in the background.  I somehow ended up with red polish on the thumb in the process and added a branch on the moon to hopefully conceal it and tried to sponge over the other section but didn't really cover it all that well.  Then topped with SV.

Bonus shot of my thumb, which I though looked pretty cool!

A closer look at a couple of the plates used.

I did this mani a couple nights ago with the full intent of doing a few more Halloween mani's....but the cuticle mess put a damper on my plans plus I wanted to give them a chance to calm down without the aggravation of remover etc. so unfortunately this put an end of any more Halloween mani's for this year....but there's always next year!

Have a safe Halloween!
