The Digit-al Dozen Does Fairy Tales: Cinderella's Slipper + Twinsie Tuesday: Inspired by Your Shoes

Today is Day 2 of Digital Dozen week. It is also Twinsie Tuesday. Instead of double posting today, I came up with a mani to fit both themes: The DD Fairy Tales, and this week's TT theme Inspired by Your Shoes. So technically I cheated a little on the Twinsie Tuesday side, but let's get into it, shall we?


Starting on a blue base (no-name color from Flash Mob), I painted Cinderella's glass slipper with watered down white acrylic paint, then sucked the excess liquid up with a dry brush and cotton buds. I used Barielle Orange-U-Excited and a C Nail Art striper in orange to make pumpkins along the tips of my other nails, with OPI Stranger Tides for their stems.



So it is still technically inspired by a shoe to fit my TT theme. Plus I like double duty designs.

Thank you!! :) It's actually extremely sheer, but it looks awesome with nail line showing, oddly. It's super smooth, no streaks. I found it in a set of four for $2.50 and I love it! I wish I could find more of the brand!
I love how you did the glass slipper! I never would have thought of that!

Thank you! :) It actually took me forever to decide to do the shoe that way, but I'm glad I did!
I love how the shoe looks like glass! Very clever!

They're not the shoes you have, they're the shoes you'd like to have. I know I'd kill for Cinders' glass slippers.

Thanks! I'm glad it worked out the way I planned!!
Great idea on the glass slipper painting technique! It turned out beautifully. I used to have a pair of see through peep toe vinyl slides with a clear lucite wedge base and pretended they were "glass slippers" like Cinderella's. Back in the day.

It's always a win when you can fit a mani into two themes!
