The Digit-al Dozen Does Geometrics: Day 2 & Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by Artwork - Retro Color Block

Welcome to Day 2 of The Digit-al Dozen week! Today is also Twinsie Tuesday, so I have a combo mani! I did another geometric nail art for DD, but it was inspired by artwork for TT.

I did a retro-looking color block mani for both of today's themes.

Cotton Candy to Vampy: Thermal Chevrons

I recently received some pretties from Born Pretty Store, and I always have fun with thermal polishes (read: a kid in a candy store), so I started playing with one (#110), Parrot Polish Black Cherry (another thermal), and chevron nail vinyls. Above is both polishes in their warm state.

The warm color reminds me of cotton candy, but they turn dark and vampy when cold!

Parrot Polish Haul - Live Swatches & Review

Every review I've seen of Parrot Polish has been nothing but positive: from product to customer service, and everything in between! So of course I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and check them out for myself!

I picked up five polishes: one holo with extra plain glitters in it, two thermals, and two glow-in-the-dark polishes that actually glow the same color as the polish instead of the usual green/yellow.

Warm Studded Skittles

Today's mani serves three purposes: Day 23 of #TwinkieNailArtChallenge "earth tones", Day 25 of #NailArtJan "studs", and Day 27 of #AmysUntriedJan "fairies". 

Pretty Woman - Nail Pearls Kit

Today is the day I get to take over Pretty Woman's Instagram account for a couple hours, and post nail art there! My time slot is 2-4 p.m. EST, and I'll be giving away two goody bags while I'm there, so make sure you come by and chat with me!

Since today is a Pretty Woman kind of day, I decided to try out the Nail Pearls kit they sent me!

Grunge Skittles - Untriedicure #5

For today's mani, I have two more polishes that I haven't tried until now: OPI Black Cherry Chutney and Avon Touch of Taupe.

Born Pretty Store Review - 3D Teardrop Stones

Born Pretty Store sent me some really pretty teardrop stones to show you! I'm actually not sure what to call these. They aren't studs, but they're not exactly stones, either. They're just 3D nail decoration pieces. The pattern I have is a clear (changed a bit because of the base color) and black marbely design.

Independence Day Cupcakes

I liked the Julep February Maven colors I used in my first Fourth of July mani so much that I wanted to use them again for another mani, only this time I made cupcakes! ^.^

4th of July Cloud Mani

I did this mani back in February when I got these three colors in my Julep Maven February box, but they made me think of the Fourth when put together, so I went with a simple cloud mani using all three and saved this one for July!

Julep - Joan

Two beautiful, easy coats, with one coat of topcoat.

Layering Zoya Paloma and Frida

Since I was playing with these two jellies and layering, I decided to try them out by themselves, without glitter. I applied three coats of Paloma, then two of Frida, and one more of Paloma to get this look:

Zoya Paloma + China Glaze Whirled Away + Zoya Frida = One Big Jelly Sandwich

Let's see what sort of disaster I can create with these 3 beauties!

Zoya - Paloma

This beauty isn't new in town, but I've been wanting it since it came out, and finally got a hold of a bottle! This is four coats, and every one was so worth it!
