Digit-al Dozen Does Thankfulness; Day 5

It's the last day of Digit-al Dozen Thankfulness Week! I had planned on doing a mani last night with something insightful to what I'm thankful for; I really do have so much to be thankful for and had so many ideas, I could do thankfulness month!  But I could barely keep my eyes open after dinner and just had no energy to do my nails.  So I'm thankful I have a full archive of draft posts to be able to use one of them for a Day 5 mani!  Here's my Day 5 mani; I'm thankful for playing euchre with my weekend friends during the summer months!  I love playing cards and euchre is probably my favourite card game; I don't miss too many Saturday nights when we play as it is one of my favourite things to do!  I actually had these on my nails on one of our Saturday night games this past summer! Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls; two coats and top coat (no pix as have shown before.  Stamped using black and red Konad special polish using images from MoYou Comics Collection-02 (thumb and middle), Fab III (pinky), HB25 and OB29 (ring and index).  Top coated to finish.

This mani is all kinds of fail; top coat smear and poor cleanup but was a good idea, just poorly executed!  I really like the card images from MoYou Comics-02; will definitely reach for it again to do a card related mani.

It has been so nice to look at every one's mani's and hear (I mean read!) the stories behind the art; there's been some really touching and heartfelt posts this week and I think anyone who has read these posts got to know the ladies in the group just a little bit better! 

Let's see what the other ladies are thankful for on Day 5!

Digit-al Dozen; Day 1, Black n White

This month's challenge for Digit-al Dozen is black and white.  How can something so seemingly easy be so hard?  For me, the colours black and white are easy enough; the problem is trying to come up with something different for each of them only using black and white so that they don't all look the same!  I guess we'll see how it goes as the week progresses as I haven't finished them all yet!  Here's the first mani I came up with.

Started with a base of one coat of FingerPaints Black Expressionism and two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales walls, no topcoat (with terrible cleanup, I see!)

Stamped using white and black Konad special polish using FUN 7 (thumb, middle and pinky) and OB29 (ring and index).

Topped with SV to finish.

A look at OB29.  Why is there no five....I guess you are suppose to be talented enough to stamp a little dot in the middle of the four or double stamp the two and three perfectly!

Here's the other ladies Black and White mani's including a couple new members too!!!  Can't wait to see all the awesome mani's everyone comes up with...and read their blogs to see if they had a hard time with the challenge or it is just me!

Thanks for looking!
