The Digit-al Dozen DOES Winter Wonderland - Cracked Ice

Hi Goddesses

And welcome to the final mani of this cold and wintry DD Week. Whether there's any wonder in this mani, I will leave for you to decide. When I showed her, Beth pulled *this* face.

Lol. I wanted to do ice cracking - ice on a lake splintering slowly and then becoming a dangerous jigsaw puzzle. I even had the perfect stamp, on BM-608, but the little bugger wouldn't stamp (the lines were too fine to capture polish).

So I went freehand. I started doing cracking shapes, and I wish I had based the pattern on a different shape, but too late now.

The base is a matted version of Different Dimension Big Bang which is ABSOLUTELY the blingiest polish ever seen in this world. For my cracks, I moved from white to grey to black, to capture the colour shifts as danger builds.

I am 50/50 on this one - what do you think?

That's a cool effect on the nails you tried to achieve.

I always look at it that the fails are just a little remover and another mani; no big deal! A lot of manis I do (and I'm sure others) are spectacular in our head just failed in execution. It still looks cool; too bad that stamp didn't work!
