Bee Polished: skittles

Taste the rainbow...

It's day two of Brand Week with The Digital Dozen and today I've gone a bit more abstract. I didn't want to do lettering across my nails and I also like that this was quite wearable without anyone wondering why I'm promoting candies! Normally there would be a rainbow stripe with white letters and the dots beneath so I just eliminated the rainbow stripes and went with the dots on the white.

Simple and effective!! Don't forget to check out what the other ladies came up with for today's challenge!!

Lots of dots...

christmas

Well there are still three days left in the Digital Dozen Red, Gold and Green challenge and I wanted to do something a little different for the next few days. I don't know about you guys but this time of year, things get HECTIC for me. This year is no better since I'm moving and changing jobs and it's just a lot at once! So for the next few days what I decided to do was do a little bit of creative skittling. My nails tend to chip in succession so as they did I just took that nail off and popped on a new design! I actually carried this out for a few more days after the challenge but the desgins after weren't so great so I've spared you the tragedy!

I started with my ring finger -- the standard accent! And then went to my pinky nail! I also made a point of using only the colors already in the manicure, plus a gold glitter which you'll see tomorrow.

I love these little sparkly dots! They're festive but not overly Christmas-y! Don't forget to check out the other girls looks!! :)

Hearts of Blue...

It's day three of the Skittles challenge week with The Digital Dozen! I really don't know where the inspiration for these nails came from. I saw the color combination somewhere and really liked it and then I just sort of randomly put patterns on the top! I like the idea of skittles but I'm more of a one or two nails kind of girl than a "let's do every nail different" one! It works great when the patterns and colors mesh but it's so hard to know until it's done so I played it safe by just mixing up bases and patterns! I hope you're enjoying the week! I created this look with a brand new brush set I got for review from the Born Pretty website! The full review will be up next month but I can't wait to show you all the awesome brush sizes and shapes! It really has opened up a whole new world of design for me! Please don't forget to check out what the other girls came up with below! And if you're following along on Vine or Twitter be sure to check in today for a preview of some upcoming designs!

The Digit-al Dozen does....SKITTLES

digit-al dozen

It's Skittle Week over at The Digit-al Dozen! For day one I decided to do a sort of reverse gradient type of look. First I polished my nails in gradually darker colors from index to pinky. Then I reversed the order and added the gradient to the tips. It came out pretty nicely although the middle two nails had a much more subtle change than the outer two and it wasn't incredibly obvious in person! Having as much polish as I do it was a lot harder than I expected to find the right blues to do this with. Some were too green or too purple....but I made it work!

This week is the first Digit-al Dozen challenge since we launched our new media sites so PLEASE check out the website this week for behind the scenes bonus features and so much more! And check out the other ladies art below, as always!
