Hi Goddesses
And welcome to another Digit-al Dozen Week. As you may already know from our epic
Giveaway, this month is our 2nd Anniversary so we asked YOU what
themes you’d like to see. Interestingly,
most of you suggested things that involved 2, cotton / sapphire (linked to this
anniversary and September), or china (ditto).
Today we have things that go in pairs, and initially I was
quite stumped. I had a vague Noah’s Ark
theme in my head but wasn’t happy with it.
Then Beth had a day when she just wanted to be involved in All Things
Nails lol so I said “let’s plan the DD challenge”, and her first idea – with a
teenager-y DUH – was “socks or shoes”.
It was soooo obvious, and so doable PLUS Beth has an awesome
collection of animal printed things, being the biggest lover of animals in the
world.
So, what we got?
Well, the index and middle finger are her awesome summer trainer-type
things. Bright pink, leopard print, and
white laces. The base here is OPI Hey
Baby.
She then has a set of black socks which all have
multi-coloured animal prints. I
discarded the leopard and the zebra in favour of the giraffe. Originally I tried this as a blobbicure, but
just couldn’t get it to work – my shapes were too circular.
Eventually, these were just painted on with a thin nail art
brush –
Blue – Cadillacquer Never Too Late
Purple – Liquid Sky Lacquer Did You Get His Number?
Pink – Liquid Sky Lacquer What Was Your Name Again
All these nails were matted and I LOVE THEM!
And then there’s the thumb.
The minute Beth said socks and shoes, it reminded me of an awesome lyric
from the Kate Bush song Moments of Pleasure –
“and I can hear my mother saying, “every old sock meets an
old shoe”. Ain’t that a great
saying. “Every old sock meets an old
shoe”.
I love the song, and I loved that the lyric united my nail
art as well as reminding us that however grumpy, flawed and difficult we may
be, there’s someone for everyone … somewhere ...
