Digit-al Dozen does .... ART ... Geometric

Hi Goddesses

So here we are with Day 2 of Digit-al Dozen Art Week.  Despite my general meh about yesterday's mani, it got a LOT of likes, so thank you for making me feel better about it!

Today's mani I AM proud of.  I am not a patient Crumpet by nature, or a tidy one, so for me to more or less pull off this mani is nothing short of a mani-miracle !!! lol.   I was VERY patient with this tape mani ... although it did start to go slightly wrong towards the end.

This mani was brought to you with ManGlaze polishes.  I still have a few I've never worn, so I thought I would have a little ManGlaze party on my nails, all over my OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls base.

The colours are - 

- dark red - Fatty's Got More Blood

- orange - Butt Taco

- pink - Lesbihonest

- green - Nawsome Sauce

- aqua - ILF

- blue - Royal Matte-rimoaning

My striping tape, as usual, was an eBay special, and this time, I found it easy to use.  Usually, I use the thicker tape as I find the skinny one too fiddly, but for some reason, I didn't have those issues this time.

Tape manis ARE fiddly and they DO require patience, but when they work - wow, they are SO worth it.   You can see there's a little bit of mess on the ring finger nail.  I was really tempted to try and tidy it up when I edited the photos, but I'm happy for you to see it.  Just because I'm getting better, doesn't mean I'm perfect :)

Don't forget to check out the other awe-inspiring ladies - they're are all killing me with their brilliance!  Love xx

Stamping Sunday - A Plate Ending in 5

Hi Goddesses  

The theme this week was a plate ending in 5.   These sorts of challenges are easy in 1 way (find all your plates ending in 5, and then choose one), but hard in another, because you don't start with inspiration, and very often you don't end up with anything inspiring either.  Like this ....

This is a base of Cult Nails Manipulative, a beautiful summer aqua and then 5 ManGlaze polishes and BM-205.  I think the different colours was a mistake.  Initially it seemed a cool idea, like a field of different species of butterfly, but now that I like some fingers more than the others, I wish I'd done them all in one of the better ones.

So, what do we have -

* thumb - Royal Matte-rimoaning

* index - Lesbihonest

* middle - Mink Mitten

* ring - Nawsome Sauce

* pinkie - Mayo

One of the things I really love about the ManGlazes is how they sparkle when you top coat them - the thumb is particularly luscious.

The disastrous streaky pink nail is the one I started with, and the one that prompted me to go for a skittle.  I wish I'd started with the white - I really like the subtlety of the pinkie finger.

So, not a total success .... what a surprise!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :) xx
