DIGIT-AL DOZEN WEEK: Fall Leaf Skittle

Nothing to Disclose

Hello lovelies! Today's my favourite of all the skittles I did for this week. I really, really adore it. That's why I took, like, a meeeellion photos of it.



Sorry about the staining. I did what I could to mitigate it. :)


This look started with a coat of Rejuvacote and a coat of Nail Glow. Everything on top is done with acrylics and my tiny detail brush.


From thumb to pinky, the leaf types are: maple, oak, elm, poplar, and birch.


Gah, I've run out of things to say! Time for filler. Today was very busy. My partner had a new house built and we went for the inspection today (possession date is next Wednesday). It took two and a half hours! But it's good they were thorough, right? It's the kind of thing you want someone to be thorough for.


And then I got my hair did (woot woot), and I went to pastels class, where bales of hay whooped my keester. Like, really. I got my derrière handed to me by some hay bales on a bed of grass. I'd post photographic proof but I'm too ashamed. I'm going to keep working on it, I think, to see if I can salvage it.

Polishes used:
Duri - Rejuvacote (base coat)
Dior - Nail Glow
acrylic paint
tiny detail brush

I can't believe tomorrow is the end of Digit-al Dozen week! My inaugural one! I will save my tears of joy for my next post. ;)

xo,

J.

  3. Thank you Anastasia! The last part is because I was in my art class and we had to draw hay bales, and no matter what I tried, my drawing was not working out like I'd hoped it would! ;P

    The detail in these are amazing - no base needed, they're art by themselves!
