Digit-al Dozen Does (5 Days, 5) Continents; Day 2

Continuing with the Digit-al Dozing does 5 days of continents in 5 days,  this is what I did for day 2; my ode to Australia and the Great Barrier Reef.

I thought that Tonic The Place's You'll Go would be a great base for underwater with the variety of shades that this awesome multichrome provides.  This is three coats, no topcoat.  Lots of pictures to show all it's facets!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped the ocean floor.

Polynesia BM-XL107

Added fish and other creatures using more images.  The images in the entire mani are from Polynesia BM-XL107, MoYou Sailor Collection-01, MoYou Sailor Collection-08, MoYou Sailor Collection-10 and JR 24.  Stamping polishes were MdU 11, 29, 39, 46, 51 and MoYou Pink!.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Digit-al Dozen Does Nature; Day 4

I've always wanted to do an underwater scene and the Digit-al Dozen nature theme was as good excuse as any to finally attempt one!  Here's what I came up with!

Started out with a base of Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Grey Matters; this is one coat, no top coat.  Not the best coverage, but I knew I'd be layering it.

 

For some interest and depth, added a coat of Delush Night at the Asylum; topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Infinity 11 (thumb, middle and index) and MoYou Sailor Collection-08 (pinky and ring) using Mundo de Unas 52 on all fingers except thumb.  Thumb was mix of Mundo 20 and 21.

Added a few more images from same plates using Mundo 13, 21 and 57 

Top coated.  I really liked the look for this just as it was.  In fact, I thought about leaving it as is in case more stamping wrecked it!

Added Zoya Godiva for sand.

Stamped sea creatures.  Plates used were MJ JR-24 (turtle on thumb), MoYou Sailor Colletion-01 (starfish on thumb), Infinity 71 (octopus and starfish on ring and fish on index), MoYou Sailor Collection-10 (pinky) and MJ Jr-30 (jellyfish on middle).  Stamping polishes were Mundo de Unas 11, 13, 21, 39.  Starfish on thumb was custom mix of Mundo 51 and white.  Added dots on octopus eye and yellow on fish.

I thought the glitter interest and stamping generally would look better is not so much shine, so added coat of OPI matte.  Not sure if I like it as much as it mutes the bold colours.  What do you think?
