Digit-al Dozen DOES Food .... Pineapples!

Hi Goddesses

For the most part, this week is brought to you by Pinterest!  I have so many boards on there, and that's the first place I turned when I was deciding what to do this week.

This is a classic case of a really cute pattern, and me not loving my mani because it's not close ENOUGH to the pattern - dammit, I wanted DUMPY pineapples!

Still, at least it's freehand, and at one point I was really worried this week was going to be all about the stamping lol!

I used the following polishes - 

base - the gorgeous Limestone by Elevation Polish.  I do loved flecked polishes on base!
pineapple - China Glaze Metro Pollen-tin with China Glaze Desert Sun markings
pineapple head - Girly Bits Hooperchondriac and Barry M Spring Green
dots - Elevation Polish The Med 2, a MoYou stamping polish and Barry M Spring Green

If I was the sort of person to redo this mani, I wouldn't go with Hooperchondriac again for the pineapple head - for me, it's a little too neon, and throws off the other more muted colours in the mani.  I'm also not so thrilled with my dots - I think better colour choices are demanded lol.

Don't forget to checkout the other DD ladies!

Girly Bits Hooperchondriac Nail Art

Hi Goddesses

Hurrah, it's the weekend!  I have a very lazy day planned - I'm pretty much planning to not leave the nail room except for snacks, so a good day beckons!

Today I have a mani that didn't make it into Digit-al Dozen neon week, not because I didn't like it, but just because I liked the others more.

I did this mani to show that wearing neons doesn't need to be a sunglasses experience.   The base is Mint Cooler from 17, and then the neon - Girly Bits Hooperchondriac - is sponged on the ends.  The stamping is from MoYou Illusion 10.

For me the overall effect is BRIGHT, but not kapow-in-the-eyes, and I really liked how the pastel and the neon played off each other.
