Bee Polished: black and white

Shades of Grey

It's day four of Black and White week with the Digital Dozen. Today I went kind of simple. I have like, A MILLION shades of grey in my collection. I don't know why. I mean, obviously I love the color but there aren't a whole lot of uses for that many shades of grey and I can't remember having ever just polished a flat grey nail. So today I decided to put them to good use! I pulled out an oldie but goodie, Cover Band's Sticks and Stones, and threw it over the top for a bit of pizzazz and then I matted the whole thing. I actually really loved how it came out. I got a lot of compliments on it despite how drab it seems! Maybe it's just that time of year! :) Please don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with and stay tuned for tomorrow's final design!

The Writings on the Wall

black and white

It's day three of Black and White week with The Digital Dozen. Today's nails aren't really black and white but are more a play on words. It's "right there in black and white" is a phrase people use frequently and so I wanted to do these black and white words on paper. I had a lot of fun with these and it reminds me of how much I really love writing myself! I used to write a lot of short stories and I've kind of gotten too busy to do it over the years. So it's a little bit of a personal theme as well! I hope you enjoyed them, and don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with for today!

Rosebud

black and white

It's day two of the Black and White challenge with The Digital Dozen! Today I wanted to try a new design and as you can see, it did not go so well! I think I needed to choose different colors because my ring finger sort of just looks like some blobs. But I still had fun with it. The inspiration was Citizen Kane. A black and white film by Orson Welles. I've seen the film a few times and honestly, I'm not super impressed by it but apparently it's supposed to be the greatest American film of all time. In either event at the end of the film he dies with a snowglobe in his hand and the last words he utters are "Rosebud". It ends up that this is a childhood sled he had, which is the only happy memory he has of his entire life. Sad, no? I made some red rose buds to sort of emulate this. I hope you liked it and don't forget to check out the other girls artwork for day two!!

The Digital Dozen Does...Black and White

black and white

Well it's time for another week of fun with The Digital Dozen!! This week our theme is Black and White. It's an interesting theme because it seems very straight forward and yet it's also very open to interpretation. I started simple today with this dotticure. It was one of those that I liked better from a distance! I had fun with it though! I can't wait for you to see what the next week has in store for us! Don't forget to check out the other ladies art work below AND don't forget to check out the new Digital Dozen blog as well as our other social media sites for fun tips, behind the scenes info and updates from all us ladies! :)
