Digit-al Dozen DOES Geek Week - Science Lesson!

Hi Goddesses

This post is a short one, as I'm really not proud of it :(

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with this mani, but the execution left me all meh :(  I could claim that I was ill when I did it, but even if I'd been high on happy pills, I still think it would have looked shit!  Lol.

The only bit that does work for me is the background.  I was trying to go for those green blackboards, whatever they're called.  I used China Glaze Westwide Warrior and a matte top coat and it really did create the effect I was after.

As for the other nails .... wah!  I wish I'd done this AFTER my bookworm, as I'd have tried the acrylics instead.  Boo hiss.  Blah blah.

Crows Toes KatNip

Hi Goddesses

The Crows Toes joy continues, and .... sound of screeaching needle on a record ... here we are at the green :)

To be honest, I've gotten to the point with greens now where even though they're not for me, I can appreciate them, and KatNip has a lot to appreciate.

This is a dark emerald green glitter, laced with gold and I chose to do it over a skittle to see which undies suited it next.  We have - 

thumb = My Boyfriend Scales Walls

index = CG Westside Warrior

Middle = Barry M Mint Green

Ring = OPI Black Onyx

little = Revlon Toad

I also chose to apply the polish differently on each nail, again to see which effect brought the polish most to life.

I have to say, my personal favourite is the index, Westside Warrior.  There's something about the warm, mushy tones of the base, and how it clashes with the bright cold tones of the glitter that really appeals to me.

Ultimately, being a green, this may not be destined to stay in my stash forever, but for now it's a very pretty lurker :)

Enjoy xx :)

Stamping & My Favourite Christmas Movie

PURPLE CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas

Day 29 – Your Favourite Christmas Movie

Hi Goddesses

OMG I am sooooooo excited to bring you this post.

Can you guess what the movie is just from this one photo ?

For the longest time I was going to do Wizard of Oz nails and then Beth and I sat down to watch and singalong to this the other day and a GENIUS idea was born J

Have you got it yet ??  3 clues –

Are they curtains by any chance ?

Brown paper packages tied up with string

I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don’t feel …. So saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad J

Yes!!  It’s the curtains that Maria made into playclothes in The Sound of Music, one of THE best films of all time J  I love this film!!  And I am so glad that Beth loves it too.  We practice Doh, A Dear a lot, but her favourite song is Cuck-oooooo.  Personally I like a bit of yodel-ay-ee-yodel-ay-ee-yodel-ay-ee-oh as well J

This mani was born from my new Red Angel plates which have lots of pretty “wallpaper” patterns as I call them.  This was a base of OPI Skull & Glossbones and then stamping with CG Westside Warrior and RA-104.

I am really super delighted with these.  I feel they look like what I wanted them to resemble and it’s also not too bad a stamping effort either, although I am struggling to get the stamp over the whole nail (maybe my nails are just wide, like the rest of me).

Best of all, this made me smile and sing everytime I looked at it lol.

Result J

Enjoy xx J

Top Tip – if you’re ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give you plenty of contrasts and compares.
