Digital Dozen Does New and Improved, Monday


Well well well, back to my favorite week of the month. Digital Dozen week this round is New and Improved! I decided to retry stuff this week that has stumped me in the passed or that I never circled back to for whatever reason. This summer I did a couple back to back saran manis and loved them but then forgot to keep at the technique. Today's look is a two-for-one, because I never use vinyls and its been a while since those first couple sarans.

I used a base of Sally Hansen White Out in one coat and one dry I applied some old wave vinyls I had kicking around. I then used a pinched piece of saran to splodge on four complimentary shades from Ruby White Tips. I went from lightest shade to darkest to build slowly and started with the green.


Once done, I removed the vinyls, dotted in with the gunmetal grey holo and topped with matte coat. This look is kind of 'outside the box' for me and I really liked wearing it. This week really will be an excuse to force myself to try things I wouldn't or haven't for a while. I recommend this to anyone. It's almost cleansing. 

Cheers all,
