Save The Rhino Day

Hi Goddesses



Today is Save The Rhino Day, and I was asked to take part in the Nail It For Rhinos campaign.  The team who organised this event sent me this lovely box with some cute rhino decals which I'll probably use another time.




I don't do many posts like this - not because I don't care, but usually because I don't find out about the day until the day itself, so with some comfortable prep time, I was more than happy to participate.




Everybody was given a bottle of Barry M Chai to use for their rhino, and I layered mine with Elevation Polish Shilin Stone Forest to give it more texture.





I've always been fascinated by the "folds" in a rhino's skin (really amazing up close) and I mixed my Chai with Darling Diva Bad Ass to create the folds and the lettering on the thumb.





Of course, the whole purpose of the day is to draw attention to the plight of these imperious animals.  The ring finger shows the aftermath of a de-horning.  Seriously, those photos are appalling, and the pain and maiming are just cruel for words.




If you'd like to donate, you can go to savetherhino.org/nailitforrhinos.  If you're in the UK, you can text Nail15 £3 to 70070.

Digit-al Dozen DOES Fairytales - Rapunzel

Hi Goddesses



Yay, this week is nearly over!





Today is another tolerable post, although you'll find Sheila's Rapunzel is much better than mine.





2 images are at play here.  On the thumb we have the twilight sky that was the undoing of Rapunzel's parents - the nightly search for rapunzel / rampion - apparently a lettuce type thing.  The base is the stunning Thracian Sea by Elevation Polish.





The rest of the fingers are another sideways depiction - Rapunzel's long plait swinging against the brick of the tower.





The tower here is made from Elevation Polish Shilin Stone Forest, and Rapunzel's plait is a mixture of 2 polishes - Barry M Mustard and w7 Lemon Sorbet.





I am quite chuffed that I managed to matte the tower and keep the plait glossy, although the gloss has hidden some of the brushwork.





Phew, only 1 more to go!
