The Digit-al Dozen Does Blue - Flormar Grunge Tips

This is Day 4 of The Digit-al Dozen Blue Week! Today I decided to do a quick and easy mani. I call this the Grunge French Tip mani. It's super simple and really quite fun! :)

I applied OPI Pink-a-Doodle (what's this? Yep, my new go-to base for any french mani!). I then put some Flormar U08 on a paper plate and then dipped an eye shadow applicator in it and dabbed it onto my nails! The more you dab on the nails without re-wetting it with polish, then thinner and smokier it gets!

Simple huh! I think I'm going to have to try this with other colors and polishes!

I wanted the Flormar U08 to pop more so I am holding OPI Pink-a-Doodle which is the base for this mani. Flormar U08 is a gorgeous duochrome that changes blue to purple. I love it!

What do you think? Is the Grunge French Tip Mani your thing?

Macro bottle shot of the Flormars! Aren't they pretty! :)

And last but not least the yummy goodies she sent me! Mmmm! I love Kinder chocolate and it reminds me of my childhood growing up in Canada! Sadly these were a bit smooshy (stupid Arizona heat!) but an hour in the fridge and voila! Mmmmmm! These were yummy! I still have a few Kinders left (trying to slowly eat them) but the other chocolate is all gone! Thank you!

Please go check out Theodora's blog Red Hair and Black Nail Polish. Her pictures are lovely! And she has wonderful nail art and tutorials!

Thank you so much Theodora! I love all my pretties! And the chocolate (now that it has solidified again!) was yummy!
