Guest Post: Little Piggies with Róisín

Another great Twinsie is guest posting for me today! All the way from the other side of the world, meet Roisin! 






Hey all

I'm Róisín (aka Cuti-CLUE-les) and I'm delighted to be posting for Amber today. I knew I wanted to do some nail art for this post so I went with a cute little pig design. It's nice and easy to do but they look so fun as a full manicure and even on their own as an accent nail.  I'm awful late to this bandwagon but I've been watching Grimm a whole lot lately (Monroe is the best character for sure!) which is where I came up with doing a Piggy manicure (I didn't want to leave one nail blank so I have the 4 little pigs)

The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairy Tales: Alice in Wonderland

I am so sad that today is the last day of my DD premier week! It has been so much fun! I am ready to start brainstorming for February, though!

Today, I did Alice in Wonderland. Last Easter, I did bunnies and covered them in flocking powder to make them fuzzy (see here). I absolutely loved them, and have always wanted an excuse to do them again!

So I give you the white rabbit with his pocket watch, being perpetually late.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairy Tales: Colorful Castle

Today's is another Digital Dozen day! And every fairy tale prince/ss needs a castle, right?

On a base of Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet, I used Sinful Colors Endless Blue, OPI Kiss Me I'm Brazilian, and a slew of acrylic paints, to freehand a whimsical, colorful castle fit for any animated royal family.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairy Tales: Poisoned Apple

My third DD mani for the week was one of the first that came to mind when I started thinking about what I could do. Initially, I thought doing the poisoned apple from Snow White, while it is being dipped in the poison, and the liquid dripping off of it forms a skull, would look neat! So I took to Google and found these images to use as inspiration:

And the mani:

The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairy Tales: Cinderella's Slipper + Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by Your Shoes

Today is Day 2 of Digital Dozen week. It is also Twinsie Tuesday. Instead of double posting today, I came up with a mani to fit both themes: The DD Fairy Tales, and this week's TT theme Inspired by Your Shoes. So technically I cheated a little on the Twinsie Tuesday side, but let's get into it, shall we?

Starting on a blue base (no-name color from Flash Mob), I painted Cinderella's glass slipper with watered down white acrylic paint, then sucked the excess liquid up with a dry brush and cotton buds. I used Barielle Orange-U-Excited and a C Nail Art striper in orange to make pumpkins along the tips of my other nails, with OPI Stranger Tides for their stems.

The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairy Tales: Bookshelf

I am super excited to announce my joining The Digit-al Dozen group this week! I've followed many of the group members for years, and am close friends with one, so when Debbie asked me to join her awesome little nail art cult, I was ecstatic to accept!

So from here on out, I'll be posting five days out of the month with a different theme; we post the second full week of each month. My first DD theme is a challenging but fun one: fairy tales!

I went more general with my mani today.

To begin this week of fairy tales, step over to the bookcase of wonderlands, and select your favorite novel.
