The Digit-al Dozen does All That Glitters/Nail Challenge Collaborative does Blue - Winter Nail Stamping

Hey there!  The nail art I have for you today is for Day 2 of The Digit-al Dozen's All That Glitters week AND Nail Challenge Collaborative's Blue theme.  It really couldn't be any more appropriate given the weather my city is having right now (lots of cold and wind and snow...feels like -31 C with the windchill.  It also fit the weather when I did them over the holiday break which felt more like -40 which is the same in Celsius and Fahrenheit.  For anyone who has never experienced -40 degrees, it is very clearly winter.  How much longer until summer??

Hey there!  It's a new Digit-al Dozen month.  And today we officially welcome a bunch of new members.  Michelle from Lacquer or Leave Her started her DD time last month and this month Tiffany from Polish and Paws, Kim from Kimett Kolor, Oksana from The Polished Koi, Brethil from Druid Nails, Courtney from Polished Lifting and Kirsty from Fairytale Nails join us for our "All The Glitters" theme so I hope you can give them some love.  It's even Brethil's 40th birthday today so she deserves all the love you can shower on her!  I did this glitter-y mani over the holiday break with some Whats Up Nails Peppermint Candy stencils.  But I was tired of holiday nails so I went with a summer collection for something bright and fun!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Metallic + One Color

Hey there!  I guess this is my first post of 2018...so Happy New Year!  It appears I've started off my year by being a lazy blogger and not posting for a week but I did spend a lot of my holidays doing my nails so I should have lots of posts coming up.  For the first post of the year, I have this week's 26 Great Nail Art Ideas theme - Metallic + One Color.  That makes for a nice, easy prompt.   I paired up some colored stamping over some rose gold chrome nails for my instalment.  Hope you like it!

Nail Crazies Unite - Blue, Silver & White Winter

Press  Sample

Hey there!  This week's Nail Crazies Unite theme is way too appropriate for me.  We're doing Blue, White and Silver Winter and trust me, we're in a deep freeze of winter right now!  It's -30 C in Edmonton.  Everyone is complaining about the cold, me in particular.  The pipes froze and burst in my apartment so I'm typing this up without heat.  Luckily it's so hot in here regularly that there's residual heat so I'm not freezing to death.  For my mani for this week, I used some snowflake stencils from Whats Up Nails.  I think they turned out perfectly winter-y.

The Digit-al Dozen does Birthdays - December 2017

Hey there!  This month is a big Digit-al Dozen birthday month.  Three ladies celebrated birthdays in December: Kristi from Begin Nails, Kerry from Painted Fingertips and Cathy of More Nail Polish.  The ladies picked an adorable image for our inspiration this month...but one I couldn't even try to do with stamping so I had to freehand...gasp!  It's a bit messy but hopefully they know my heart was in the right place!

New Years Nails with Whats Up Nail Stencils

Hey there!  I hope everyone had a great Christmas (or Monday, for anyone who doesn't celebrate). Mine was quiet but wonderful.  My family had dinner Christmas Eve so I had no plans for Christmas evening so my bestie and I went and saw Star Wars.  For my first day back on the blog this week I thought it'd be a good time to share a couple of New Year's-themed manis I've done with some Whats Up Nails stencils.  I used the Confetti, City and Confetti stencils for these.  I don't think they're necessarily limited to being worn on New Years (at least I hope not since I did these earlier) but they'd definitely be party appropriate!

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Christmas Childhood Memories

Press  Sample

Hey there!  For what is likely going to be my last post before Christmas, I have my contribution to the 26 Great Nail Art Challenges for this week.  The theme is "Christmas (or other holiday) Childhood Memories".  My family doesn't have any really unique traditions or anything, just the standard cookies left out for Santa, turkey dinner and, of course, the Christmas tree.  I loved helping decorate it when I was little.  We had lots of different ornaments that my parents had bought/received over the years.  Now our tree is a bit more uniform but it's still certainly the centrepiece of our Christmas.
