The Digit-al Dozen does Birthday - Unicorn Wood

Hey there! For the last few months, the Digit-al Dozen ladies have informally celebrated each other's birthdays by doing a group mani inspired by a piece of art picked by the birthday girl(s). Amber of Nails Like Lace is the only October birthday girl and she picked such a photo we are referring to as "unicorn wood". Keep reading to see the inspiration and how I did my look.

Here's the photo Amber picked. Isn't this cool? I wish all trees looked like this!

For these I used the pipe dream polish Mellowed Out Cremes collection. I used a base of Unwind to give everything a beige look and then randomly painted on the rest of the colors in a watercolor fashion by thinning them out with acetone.

I added some sparkle with an old topper called I Only Have Ice For You from KBShimmer. This has always been one of my favourite toppers so I'm glad I grabbed it when I could.

You know I love showing my less-than-perfect nails but I ended up screwing this one up so bad by adding some brown distressing to try to give it a wood grain look. Oh man it was bad! Looked like I had streaked poop onto a pretty rainbow and yet I ended up wearing it for days since I didn't have time to change it. I won't even subject you to the final outcome since I'm trying to forget it.
