The Digital Dozen: Black - Day 3

Day 3 of The Digital Dozen Black, brings a fun pattern as accent nails. I found this pattern on Pinterest (my favorite place to inspiration) and I tried my best to translate it onto my nails.
I started off with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief on most nails and then Madam Glam Cashmere on the other two. Cashmere is the softest grey possible, it's so subtle, but such a pretty color. I then dotted on dots and added stripes in black. Once those were dry, I used more cashmere to stipple on some distressing to mimic the pattern.
I really love the way this look came together. It was an added bonus that it was so easy to do. Be sure to check out all the other ladies black looks below.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#31DC2016: Inspired by a Tutorial

Today we are doing inspired by a tutorial. I love this prompt because it allows me to explore and try new techniques. I finally settled on a Bokeh look tutorial from Cute Polish. Fair warning....mine went sideways at some point.
Following the instructions, I started off with a base of OPI Alpine Snow. I then dabbed on colors with a makeup sponge. My colors were Essie Vices Versa, Essie Chillato, Essie Blossom Dandy, Essie Sittin' Pretty, and Madam Glam Kiss Me Now.
I then added the bokehs via the directions. Here's where things started to go sideways. Apparently a gremlin of some sort has stolen my white acrylic paint. I found out the hard way, that is ESSENTIAL. I managed to do a decent recreation with OPI Alpine Snow and acetone. The next hard sideways decision was not going for a simple creamy gold outline. NO! I chose a lovely blush toned glitter. It was not easy ya'll. I'll give you that Renaissance Cosmetics Blushing is stunning on it's own, but not so great for outlines. Finally I couldn't find my studs. Probably due to the same acrylic paint loving gremlin. So I went for pearls. Nope...blends in too much. So overall I gave it my best effort. But I wish I could have just stuck with the pretty color combo up top. It should also be mentioned that the only way I could get this to photograph accurately was with flash, so sorry for the crazy pics.
Give this look a go. But learn from my mistakes. Tomorrow is the last day of the challenge. Can you believe it?
Enjoy & until tomorrow, Amy Lee
