The Digit-al Dozen DOES Countries - Australia

Hi Goddesses



This is the final mani of the week that I utterly LOVE - the final 2 (which ironically were the first 2 I did) are sort of so-so / filler manis for me.  So behold the goodness whilst it lasts lol!






This mani .... oh it just works for me in so many ways.  It's in the gradient, with the subtle peek-a-boo of the holo, and it's in the matte stamping over the glossy base.  And who doesn't love a Kangaroo nail?






This started out as a mani of Double Shot of Sriracha by Loaded Lacquer.  Utterly goreous tomotoey-red-orange holo, and you'll see it in its solo glory soon.  On to this, I then gradiented Red Hot Ayers Rock by OPI, because the plan at that stage was to stamp the Ayers Rock image on MoYou Explorer 05.






On closer inspection, that image wasn't workable for me.  It would need to straddle 3 nails, and there were other images (from MoYou Explorer 06) that I really wanted to use.






There's just something about the overall composition of this mani that I love.  Can't put my finger on one thing, I think it's just one of those glorious occasions when the whole is more than the sum of the parts.




Don't forget to check out the other DD ladies.

I HATE this week's theme lol x
Adorable. I love the kangaroos. And the dots on the 'Roo nails make me think of the Aborigine tribe. Also love the boomerangs. This has a tribal look about it and I really like this mani a lot. Even though this isn't your favorite theme, you still managed a fantastic manicure.

Some of these MoYou images, I have to stamper shrink to fit onto my nails; helps when the images are too big to fit onto my nails as otherwise, wasted image :(
Oh I love these! You can almost picture a giant sun behind these guys as they're hopping along the desert. And that gradient! DEAD.
