The Fancy Side

I'm back with another round of the Digital Dozen prompts. This week we are doing Color Contrast and this is a bit new for me. I'm not used to picking such opposing colors and pairing them. Although, that is the point of the group, stretching our art in new directions.

Today, I went for an interesting combo. I paired a coral pink with a bright green.  The coral is one of my favorites OPI Live.Love.Carnival and it is stamped with Mundo de Unas Green and MoYou London Pro Collection XL 20.




It certainly is a loud combination. Be sure to check out all the other beautiful contrasting manis below. See you tomorrow for another look.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

I'm in love with my Day 4 look for Digit-al Dozen: Vampy. I'm also doubling up on prompts, this one is doing double duty for #TheLacquerRing: Plum prompt.  It's the perfect color with the perfect accent. My base is OPI Casino Royale a deep plum color. It's absolutely stunning.




I then went in with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and the Pueen 73 stamping plate to add on some roses. I love the way this came together.




See you tomorrow for the last day of Digit-al Dozen.

Day 3 of the Digit-al Dozen. When I think of Vampy, my mind goes to Dita Von Tees. She always has a classic half moon red nail look that she always rocks. I decided to my version with a little twist.

I started off with base of OPI Glints of Glinda to have a nice sheer base. Then using a french tip guide I sectioned off my nail and added in F.U.N. Lacquer Goddess of the Dawn, a vibrant red holographic polish. This is the ultimate vampy look in my opinion.




Catch you tomorrow for Day 4!

Hey all! I have some very exciting news. I've officially joined up with the lovely ladies over at the Digit-al Dozen and will be doing monthly prompts with themes that run the course of a week. So you'll see five prompts in one week with the same theme. I'm beyond excited to be joining these talented ladies. Here's hoping I can live up to expectations.

So for my first week with this group, we are doing Vampy for the prompt. I started off with a subtle take on the prompt. A beautiful, dark, sexy, vampy polish that helps debut my new nail shape. I'm trying out coffin again, because it seems vampy but also fun for the halloween month. I think I need to refine the shape a bit more, so expect a few tiny changes as I figure it all out. But for you oval lovers, have no fear. They'll return soon enough. This is just for fun not a permanent change.

As I mentioned a beautiful, dark, sexy, vampy polish is here and it is ILNP Mon Amour. This is a deep, almost black, purple polish filled with sexy little holographic flashes. This one, ya'll it is a STUNNER.




There it is. I'll see you tomorrow for more vampy. Check out all the other vampy designs down below. There are some gorgeous ones in there!

Last year I really struggled with this prompt, but today I knew exactly what I wanted to happen. I grew up on boats and racing with my Dad, so when I was thinking about flags, nautical signaling flags popped into my head. These are the old school way of transferring messages between boats during the day. Each flag stands for a letter of the alphabet. I fit as many as I could onto my fingers.

To start, I went with a base of the ever gorgeous Native War Paints Cable Knit Sweater. Can we have a serious discussion about the shimmer in this polish? Talk about stunning.

I love that art can come in so many different forms and you can defiently see that reflected in this prompt. Take a look at all the other ladies down below for a perfect example. Recently the hubs and I bought a Banksy print to hang in our homes. When this prompt rolled around I knew I'd have to go that route. Thankfully I have the prefect stamping plate, MoYou London Rebel 02, for the job.

I started with a base of the stunning Ever After Polish The Pumpkin King. Really I had just gotten it in the mail and I NEEDED to wear it, but I also love the texture it gave to my overall look.

Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee

I don't know about you guys, but I am stoked that one of my favorite childhood books is finally being made into a movie. The cast is to die for as well. Mindy Kaling as Mrs. Who, Oprah as Mrs. Which and Reese Witherspoon as Mrs. Whatsit. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I need you to get a copy of A Wrinkle in Time immediately.

While searching for inspiration I came across this cool graphic novel style artwork by Hope Laresn about the opening. I decided to try and recreate that look. I started with a base of ILNP After Midnight. 




I then used Cirque Colors Memento Mori (black), Cirque Colors Carpe Diem (white),  Cirque Colors Meet Me In Montauk (pale blue) to recreate the look. Obviously, my freehand skills need ALOT of work, but I tried. So...yeah. It is what it is.
