The Digit-al Dozen Does Childhood: Day 2 + Twinsie Tuesday: Watercolor Floral Nails with DIY Tinting Polish


Today's the second day of the Digit-al Dozen Childhood theme, plus we are doing watercolor nails for Twinsie Tuesday today. I wanted to do watercolor as one of my DD  manis since I've always loved to paint, including painting with watercolors as a kid; so it worked out perfectly! I figured I'd combine the two prompts/groups into one post/mani.






I've made over two dozen of my own DIY sheer tinting polishes with marker ink (they're addicting to make, I just did a Leadlighting mani with them here, and will have a tutorial up next week) - so I used those over a white base for a watercolor floral look!

I think the ring finger turned out to be my favorite. They're not even supposed to be any certain type of flower, I just splotched some polish on, but I love the printesque look to that nail! Which is your favorite?

Of course, don't forget to check out what all the other Twinsie Tuesday girls did for their watercolor manis today, and what everyone else in Digital Dozen did for childhood themed manis!

Love how you combined the themes here! I loved painting too so anytime I babysit my niece we paint...which results in a lot of paint all over the couch, haha!

Thanks!! My daughter likes to color but I don't let her paint often since she's only two and it's messy. She does like to play with polish and "paint" her own nails (and whole fingers) with her water-based polish though. :)
I used to have a watercolour kit as a kid. I don't remember any of my paintings being this good...

Thank you! I guess it just carried over into nail art for both of us! :)
It totally has that little girl print to it! How fun that you are making your own tints! I'll have to check that out!
