All You Need is Love

1967


It's the final day of the Digit-al Dozen's music challenge.  I'm kind of sad for this one to end! I had a few more design ideas but I might attempt them later just for fun!  No musical challenge would be complete without these legends of music; The Beatles!  So for today I did something fun and a LITTLE abstract but hopefully not TOO out there.  From left to right we have: John, Paul, George and Ringo represented solely by their facial  hair (and glasses!) in the year 1967.  This was one that I thought would  be super challenging which didn't turn out to be half as hard as I imagined it would be.  The worst part was John's glasses and they're a little off center but it's what it is!  Actually maybe it's his mustache that's off...either way!  I used Nails Inc Basil Street, China Glaze Foie Gras, OPI Suzi Loves Cowboys, Models Own Black Nail Art Pen to complete this look!  And for my song...obviously it's a Beatles song!  I couldn't choose a favorite (who could?!) so I just put up one that makes me smile. :)  Fun fact about the song?  It was meant to be much slower than it ended up being because they recorded it so many times and John hated it and got frustrated so he started playing it more upbeat.  That version made it to the album DESPITE the last part of the song where Paul messed up the vocals, singing that "Desmond stays at home and does his pretty face" instead of Molly. No one wanted to re-record it! :P  I hope you all enjoyed music week with us!! Don't forget to check out the other ladies art work for today!

Tape On Me...

Day four has arrived!!  Today I did something a little bit outside my box for the challenge!!  I really wanted to do cassette tapes but I'm not even kidding you...I was scared for the execution of it! First of all...my nails aren't square at the moment. Second, there are color choices since most tapes are grey on grey or white or black or something equally lame and dull and ridiculous to photograph.  Third there are those little wheely things with spokes, which by the way, are called the supply reel...nightmare! BUT I wanted to try it out anyway and when I sat down to do it I realized that to my horror...my nail art brushes were nowhere to be found. So ladies and gentlemen, I did this using only polish brushes and a dotting tool.  I think they came out pretty nice under the circumstances! One thing I will note is that on the pinky it actually looks like you can see some tape through the window...this was a happy accident caused by dragging the polish when it was still wet and therefore causing it to mix with other polish!  I used Deborah Lippmann Let's Hear It For The Boy, Zoya Dove, Carey, and Pippa, Models Own Moody Grey and Wet & Wild White On to complete this look. So for today's musical share?  I wanted something geared towards tapes but I don't get into 80's music much SO...I'm sharing a song that my sister and I have LOT'S of fun with!! 

 

Sing us a song you're the piano man...

It's day three of the Digit-al Dozen music challenge! Admittedly, today was a bit of a lazy day where designs are concerned.  I really wanted to include a musical instrument and a piano just seemed like the easiest way to go.  I did think about doing a guitar but it just wasn't working out the way I wanted it to. Still, I love piano music so this turned out to be a great design!  I used Zoya Purity and Raven and my Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black to complete this look.  Even though my title here is a Billy Joel song, and I love him, I'm giving you a taste of one of my most favorite artists of pretty much EVER today for my musical share.  It's Dustin O'Halloran and I'm telling you, this man is a musical genius.  I could, and often DO, listen to his music all day long.  Even Aoife loves him, and we all know what a picky little princess she is!  Don't forget to check out my fellow dozener's work for today!!

You Spin Me Right Round...

70's



It's day two of the Digit-al Dozen music challenge!! Today I wanted to do a design based on one of my most favorite things! Records!!  Yes, I am a vintage freak and records are my most favorite thing to buy and listen to.  I'm actually trying to get my husband to purchase me a portable record player. :P  The lighting on this picture looks out of whack but it's funny because it was taken the same way I normally take all my pictures.  I blame it on the neon's!  That green is almost glowing!  So this mani was fairly simple really I just did a half moon with neon's and then added some streaky lines with a darker grey color.  Easy peasy.  I used Zoya Raven, Purity and Carey and China Glaze Hang Ten Toes and I'm With The Lifeguard to create it.  For today's musical share I'm linking up one of my favorite records!  It's Diane Birch, a Carole King-esque folksy singer with a cool 70's vibe. :)  Don't forget to check in on the other ladies!!

The Digital Dozen does...music

It's time for another week of Digit-al Dozen nail art!! The Digit-al Dozen is a group of twelve ladies, including myself, who dedicate one week (five days) out of every month for themed nail art.  This month the theme is music!  I'm really excited about this theme because I am a total music addict.  I mean that VERY literally.  I have tons and tons of music, at least fifteen pair of headphones, and if I don't listen to right around three hours of music a day...you'll find me VERY cranky!  Since music is my love and since it's sort of connected to this week's theme, I'll be including some little bits of what I've been listening to lately with each post. :) So here's today's art work!! It sort of just symbolizes my love of music with the heart on my pinky and then the iPod on my index.  I actually have a total of two iPods and an iPhone all of which are full and my iTunes STILL has music on it that I can't fit onto any of them. First world problems if there ever were any!!  I used Zoya Purity, Models Own Black Nail Art Pen, Pastel Pink, and Prussian Blue and butterLONDON Diamond Geezer to complete this art work.  And for the song of the day?  One of my favorite artists of the moment...Eliza Doolittle! Enjoy and don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with this week!
