I am so incredibly excited and so super nervous for today's post. I have been considering doing some more nail art related posts here on my blog for a little while now but wasn't really 100% sure how I was going to do it. Then I just so happened to see that The Digit-al Dozen were looking for some more nail artists (I actually still think it's a little strange to call myself that but that really is a whole other post lol) so I stuck my hand up. I was so excited when I was accepted into the group and then the nerves really hit when I saw that the first challenge was Vampy. I'm not really a vampy nails kind of girl so to have to come up with five ideas scared me! But I do love a good challenge and what better way to kick off.
After many days of "what am I going to do" the main idea I kept coming up with is red and black lace nails. Given it was my first idea I thought I may as well run with it as my first post. For my base I used Emily de Molly LE39 and then stamped the lace design from Uberchic Love & Marriage 01 stamping plate and Powder Perfect's black stamping polish.

I really love how this mani turned out. What do you think of my first mani for The Digit-al Dozen? Make sure you check out the other amazing ladies who are also completing this challenge. I know I will be eagerly waiting for all their manis. There is some seriously amazing talent in this group!
Gorgeous and very vampy!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :)
DeleteI love more nail art on the blog!! Bring it on!!
ReplyDeleteMore nail art is coming! If you find any other challenges or if there is something in particular you think I should do let me know! I'm definitely keen to do more nail art here :)
DeleteThis is gorgeous. I'm in for a week of red and black too. I really struggled with this prompt.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. I think we will be seeing lots of variations of black and red this week :)
DeleteOoh so pretty. I love nail art posts & this design is amazing. Vampy is a little tricky but I know you'll come up with some other amazing designs.

Thanks Vicky. I love nail art posts too (all actually all nail posts I like). Nail art posts are tricky to do. It may take me a bit to get a good balance of pictures (how many pics does one need of the same mani?)
DeleteI love this look - and to be honest I felt the same way you did....transitioning to nail art in the blog - little nervous. You are amazing - remember that! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Kristi. Transitioning nail art into a blog is definitely tricky. It's one thing to do reviews of nail art products but it's really just a whole other ball game with challenges or just nail art posts because you want to.
DeleteThis polish is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah. It really is a stunning polish <3
DeleteThis looks so deep, and very perfect for Vampy! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Amanda <3
