The Digital Dozen does Vintage - Day 5: Wallpaper

Nothing to Disclose 

Hello, all - how is your Sunday going? I always get the Sunday blues as the evening progresses and I start thinking about going to work the next day. Darn! I'm warding off the bad feelings by finishing up my vintage manis for Digital Dozen week and today I've got some vintage wallpaper inspired nails! 

I found this really awesome Etsy shop called Hannah's Treasures that sells vintage (actual vintage, too, not reproduction which I thought was really cool) wallpaper and I fell in love with a bunch of the patterns. The one I settled on was this funky 1950's yellow, red and green geometric style one. They remind me a bit of colorful mandalas and that's why I was drawn to them. 

The Digital Dozen does Vintage - Day 4: Floral Cross-Stitch

Happy Saturday, all! So Sorry I've been delayed in my Digital Dozen posting. I've had family visiting since Thursday and I haven't been able to get away to do a mani until today. I'm hoping to have my day 5 post done soon as well so I'll be able to finish the challenge.

My younger sister is visiting and we're pretty exciting when we're together. We've been watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy since yesterday while doing counted cross-stitch. Yes. We're probably the coolest cats around. Try to control your jealousy ;) In all seriousness, it's been pretty fun. We're catching up and just letting our minds relax and it's just been very enjoyable. But hours of actual cross-stitching wasn't enough for, so I figured I'd try it out on my nails and create this retro floral cross-stitch mani.

Happy Hump day! Well, it's at least the start of it here in California. Yesterday was...lame. I spilt coffee all over my keyboard at work and now I have irritating stickiness on a bunch of my keys, polish I ordered that arrived today arrived with a broken bottle that spilled all over the other polishes, and I'm just dealing with some person things that is making me feel like the day is a bit of a joke. I'm ready for the weekend! I've got family visiting starting Thursday night :) 

To make up for yesterday's not so vintage-y look, I went (what I think is) very vintage tonight. I did (another) funky floral print! In my day one post I mentioned that I was inspired by this website (Q is for Quilter) and I've again found a 1930's print from that site. I quite like how this turned out! 

The Digital Dozen does Vintage - Day 2: Black & White Lace

Hello, all! I got home late from work tonight and I'm sleepy but I wanted to stay on track for Digital Dozen week so here's my quick mani for the night! I was inspired by this fabulous black and white vintage lace dress that then inspired this just as fabulous cake! Who doesn't love lace dresses and tasty cakes?! Sadly, I'm not so sure that I've had success with the theme for this mani.

Hello, all! Sorry for being a bit MIA this past week. I've been feeling a bit uninspired and every time I sat down at my desk I just couldn't produce anything I liked. One of the more frustrating things artists go though. Sometimes I just need to step back long enough that I begin to miss doing nail art again and then I can get my head back into it. 

This week marks the start of February's Digital Dozen week! The best week each month, I'd say ;) This week is "Vintage" and I was initially really excited about the prospect of this. However, I literally spent from Thursday last week to today trying to come up with manis for this week...to no avail. Grrr! I actually did a mani this morning with the intention of using it for DD week, but I hated it. I almost quit for the day but decided to push through it and I'm super stoked that I did!
