Ah ha, I tricked you. You thought I was going to pull out some fancy freehand cartoon portraits for day 5, to match what I did for day 5 on the black prompt.  Well let me tell you that I do have a great idea for a mani that fits that exact description, but I haven't painted it yet, so instead you get this one from my draft vault.  I counts on the 'white' theme because it was done on a white base ok!

Today's mani was one of those that organically grew as I painted it. I started with some MILV water decals, which are the two centre nails. But I decided that I didn't want to just do a full mani of water decals and I needed to put some sort of artistic flare to it. So I then did a gradient using similar colours to the centre part of the water decals, as well as some of my own gold accents.

When looking at this, know one could tell that it was a combo of water decals and free hand nail art. 

You knew these were coming, and whoa do they look amazing in real life and so different to the black versions.  I didn't end up using the exact same glitters that I used on the black one, as I wanted to try out these 'Unicorn Mermaid' glitters that I bought ages ago (like Oct last year) from the Born Pretty Store. 

I used three different colours from the set of six, as these three were the ones that showed the best colour shift.  I thought they looked very cool and subtlety sprakley.

Yep, you knew these rainbow bubbles were coming, cause that's what Day 3 was on the black prompt.

The black version looked way cooler than these, but I feel my freehand painting technique on this on was a lot better.

Continuing from yesterday's theme of recreating my 'Black' prompt nails in white.  In February last year, I created these black and holo tipped nails with stamping.  Here is the white version, although using a different stamp design.

I think the black version popped way more that the holo on white, but these have a very soft and ethereal quality to them.

Thank goodness for another Digital Dozen week to force me to post something here. Otherwise I think this blog would fall into oblivion!  It's tough to keep it going after eight years, but as long as I remember that I do this for fun and for myself, then I think it will keep going, cause we all know I don't do it for the readers, because I don't think anyone comes by here anymore.

Now to this weeks theme. It's White. I love open themes like this. I really wasn't sure what to paint, but then I drew inspiration from the Digital Dozen Black week that we did in February last year.  So for my first mani, I recreated the same mani I did with black polish. Well sort of. You see I realized that if I did it exactly the same then the two manis would look identical. That's because the multichrome flakies are not opaque and the base colour doesn't show through.  Instead of rubbing the multichrome flakies over the entire nail, I did it more random and sparingly.

Here is a macro where I managed to capture the multichrome shift on a few bits.
