The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairytales: Alice in Wonderland

Day 2 of The Digit-al Dozen is upon us, and I decided to go with one of my classic nail art styles - the simple skittle manicure! I was inspired by the storybook character Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, mainly her blue dress, big bow, and striped socks! I was partially inspired by a nail art look I found online, but the blogger who posted it seems to have removed her website. You can see the thumbnail here.

On my index and ring finger, I painted a base of Cuccio Verona Lace, and on my middle and pinky nails I painted on a base of Color Club Factory Girl. On my index nail, I painted on the ace of spades design (get it? Alice? With an A?!) with a fine detail brush and black acrylic paint. On my middle nail, I placed these black studs from Born Pretty Store in a bow shape using top coat. On my ring finger, I painted stripes with Cuccio 2am in Hollywood. I topped everything off with top coat.

Although this is a simple design, it wasn't as easy as it looks! It took me several tries to paint the ace of spades correctly (those are so not easy to draw!) I do love the way the bow turned out, though, and it was so easy to put together with the studs.

I am really pleased with how this turned out, though. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories and I've always wanted to translate it into a manicure, but I figured the subject matter was too daunting! I think this is definitely a wearable look, though.

Here are the polishes I used. I reviewed the Cuccio shades here and the Color Club here. Again, you can get the black studs here (don't forget to use the code RFL91 for 10% off your Born Pretty Store order!)

Well, that's it for Day 2! Make sure you check out the lovely manicures from the other ladies of The Digit-al Dozen!
