The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 5: Feathers

Nothing to Disclose 

Woohoo! I am finally finished with monochrome week on the Digital Dozen! I wasn't sure if I would make it but I'm proud of myself for pushing through and finishing it up. I actually really like what I ended up doing today even though at the start of it I wasn't sure if it would come together. 

Awhile back I was browsing pinterest and found a few awesome "pattern" boards and fell in love. I want my sheets, and clothes, and car upholstery to be made out of all these patterns. They're just wonderful. One such pattern that has really stuck with me since I saw it, was this feather design. 

The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 4: Silhouette Flowers

As promised, I'm slowly trying to get through monochrome week on The Digital Dozen. Although everyone is all finished with their posts (they rocked it this week! Check out their inlinkz below), I want to still get my posts up and be able to say that I have finished 3 challenges! I'm still counting it as completed despite being super late in finishing it ;) 

When looking for inspiration, I typically browse page upon page of content and will have about 20 tabs open of things that I think I might want to do. What I'm really waiting for though, is that one image that is so perfect and inspiring that it will immediately cause me to close all of those other 20 tabs and immediately start painting.  Today, these fabulous vector stock photos did that for me. 

The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 3: Silver Daisies

So I think I've officially earned the "terrible blogger" title. I feel so badly that I've been so far behind on all of my posts. I also apologize for the constant stream of excuses! I'm trying to get back on tract and I really want to finish up the Digital Dozen monochrome week even though I'm WAY behind on it all.

I really wasn't sure what to do to continue on with this challenge so I started looking everywhere I could for inspiration. I wear quite a few rings on a daily basis and most of them are fairly simple stacking bands. I usually try to find a ring combo that I love and then I just wear it for weeks on end. You may occasionally notice the thumb ring on my left hand (that's pretty much always on) and then on my right hand (which you hardly ever see, sorry), I almost always have a thick silver daisy band that I purchased from Sundance Catalogue. It's one of my favorites and I actually bought a matching one for my sister so it has an extra special place in my heart. It was my inspiration for tonight's mani! 

The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 2: Mosaic Gradient

Nothing to Disclose

Remember how yesterday I had hoped that my work week would be a bit more mellow? Haha, yeah, that didn't happen :( I got home around 7:45pm yesterday and was super drained and not up for nail art. 

For the past two Digital Dozen challenges, I've completed my manis the night before they're due (I know, I know, this is a terrible habit, but I'm a procrastinator!). Unfortunately, my lack of motivation last night means I'm scrambling a bit tonight ;) I'm going to try and do one more look after this so I can have something to share with you all tomorrow for day 3. Ah, the life of a polish addict!

Anyway! Day 2 is an orange monochrome mosaic gradient look! I'm really unsure of how I feel about this look though so I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

The Digital Dozen does Monochrome - Day 1: Floral

Nothing to Disclose

Hi, all! How was your weekend? I spent a majority of it trying to catch up on sleep after an INSANELY long work week. Here's hoping this week treats me a bit better work wise...but blogging wise, it's going to be awesome! This is going to be a Digital Dozen filled week! Today not only marks the start of our awesomely awesome giveaway (have you entered yet?? You can do so here!), but also the beginning of Monochrome week! 

For those who don't know, monochrome consists of either black and white or varying tones of only one color. Today's look, is in line with the second definition where I use varying tones of one color...and keeping with my love of floral patterns, I decided to do a simple monochrome floral look! I'm not feeling too hot tonight but I found an awesome floral print here and wanted to do my take on it immediately.
