The Digit-al Dozen Does Childhood: Day 1 - Rainbow Splatter


Digit-al Dozen week is back!

The April theme is "Childhood". For my first mani, I wanted to replicate a popular toy from my childhood: yoyos.







So I took to Google and found a picture of one awesome-looking yoyo:

It looked like something I could easily portray on my nails. Besides, it's rainbow, and we know I'm all for any chance to put a rainbow on my nails!

I started with a base of OPI Push and Shove, then did a traditional splatter mani using a straw and five different colors of polish: Nails Inc. Queen Victoria Street (green), Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow, Color Club Disco Dress (purple), Dermelect Power Trip (red), and Pixel Turquoise the Noise (blue).

I love how these turned out! Push and Shove is my all-time favorite silver! What do you think?

I'm excited to see what everyone else in the group has in store for this week too!
