Digital Dozen | 5 Days 5 Continents | Day 1
Hey there! So its time to start a tricky themed week for the Digital Dozen! Our theme is 5 Days, 5 Continents! So basically the challenge is to have a mani themed for each continent. I have different/weird ideas of interpreting this week so bare with me. Now for the first mani! Any guesses on which continent this one is for?
If you were thinking Antartica you'd be right! A penguin is probably a bit stereotypical but where I was looking up pictures of Antartica the penguins seemed like the best option. Weird to have on my nails in the middle of July but I also thought it would be even weirder to have a snowy scene on my nails sooo....
I thought about doing multiple penguins but really one was a stretch for July so I did this different dotty nail for an accent nails. Which now as I am looking at it is kind of creepy, and eye like! Yikes! 😂
For this mani I used China Glaze At Vase Value as mu base and then a matte top coat. All of the art was done with acrylic paint, and it came out pretty decent. I felt like the blue being a bit more minty would make it feel a bit more summery.
So in regards of yesterdays post, I think I may try and let me nails grow out a little bit, and just keep them really square. I just worry about the maintenance ya know! 😂😅 So we will see! I've really confused myself trying to figure out what to do! Ha!
Well that is it for todays post! I hope you have enjoyed this mani and hopefully a penguin in July isn't too weird! LOL! Hey Hallmark Christmas Movies start in a few weeks sooo! 😂 I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for this weeks theme, I feel like its a tricky one!
Happy Painting!

That penguin is adorable! I love seeing wintry manis in July (it helps remind me that it is cooler in some areas as I feel 110+ degrees on my face). haha. That base color is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Ha, its for sure a bit odd! Oh I know right its been insanely hot in the past week! He, we went to the beach like at 8:30 am because we knew it was just going to be too hot in the middle of the day!
