The Digit-al Dozen does Holo: Holoday Nails Day 2

Hey friends! I hope your week is off to a good start. It’s Tuesday and I am continuing the Digital Dozen Holo Week. If you’re just tuning in the Digital Dozen is a small group of highly skilled nail artists and bloggers that get together the second week of each month to create 5 manis designed after one centralized theme. I’m all into the christmas spirit this year so I knew right away I wanted to do Holo-day Manis!

*includes press samples

I will start by saying I cheated just a little bit on this mani. I really wanted to do Grinch nails but I have no grinch stamping plates, and I wasn’t about to try to freehand it. So I jumped on ebay and found some grinch water decals. Just the grinch face is a water decal, everything else is my own work.

I started with 2 coats of Chasing a Unicorn (white holo) on my middle fingers and 2 coats of Starlight Polish Poinsettia on my index and pinky. I added the Grinch water decal, then for the tree I did some reverse stamping with matching the tree color to the grinch. The other nails I used a detail brush to paint the white wavy lines that represent his santa suit.

Items used:

CbL Chasing a Unicorn
Starlight Polish Poinsettia
Glam Polish No More Caffeine for You
Painted Polish Midnight Mischief
Grinch Water Decal
UberChic Holiday Jingle
Nail Art Detail Brush
Clear Jelly Stamper

Hope you enjoyed todays mani! I love how it turned out, and I’m not even feeling guilty for using a water decal. It gave me exactly the look I was going for. Do you ever use water decals? Did you like my grinch nails?
