The Digit-al Dozen Does: Geometric - Look 2


For my second geometric look I decided to go with something more abstract / angular using nail vinyls. Check it out:




Polishes Used:
-KBShimmer - Radient Orchid
-Pahlish - Typewriter Keys
-LA Colors - Gold Glitter

To be honest the colors in this look were/are super random to me and nothing that I would ever put together, but I was really just sort of trying something different and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised that they sort of worked nicely together; an unexpected combination so to say.

The Digit-al Dozen Does: Geometric - Look 1


This week we are back with another Digit-al Dozen theme, Geometric nails! I like this one because geometric can be so broad; I really think of it as any lines, angles, shapes, etc.

For my first look I went with some simple black and white stamping!




Polishes Used:
-KBShimmer - Eclipse
-Konad - White

This was a really simple look but has a sort of retro feel to me, 60's wallpaper maybe?

Let's see what the other ladies have come up with for their first geometric nail look.

Incoco Made in America Collection

"Show Your Stars & Stripes with Patriotic Nail Art - Three cheers for red, white and blue! Celebrate the Fourth of July with Made in America by Incoco, a collection of four festive nail art appliqué shades that reflect the patriotic spirit of the holiday."

Today I will be sharing with you two of the shades from the Made in America Collection by Incoco. Technically these shades are for 4th of July but they are releasing later this month and would also be PERFECT for Memorial Day! Let's get started.

Made in America: A shimmery patriotic design of stars and stripes.




Americana: Glittery stars & stripes in vintage hues.




There are two other shades in the collection as well:

- Lady Liberty: A sweet mix of stars, stripes, chevrons and hearts.
- Starstruck: A red, silver and blue star-studded glitter design.

As you know, I like nail appliqués because they are a quick and easy way for anyone and everyone to get fancy nail looks. Both of these designs would be perfect for Memorial Day and 4th of July.

These shades will be available on May 11, 2015 at Incoco.com.
