The Digit-al Dozen does Autumn: Day 1 - Yellow & Grey Houndstooth and a Squirrel Silhouette w/ Fluffy Tail




The Digit-al Dozen is back! For all of October, we will be doing autumn themed manis!

At first I wasn't at all excited about the theme. All I could think of was leaves and pumpkins! Then I remembered the Easter bunny nails I've done a couple of times where I used flocking powder to make them fluffy. So I Googled squirrels, now I have no idea where I found it because that was six months ago, and I saw a purse with a fuzzy-tailed squirrel on it. So I combined the two ideas, and came up with this look!

I tried thinking a little outside the box with this one, and love how it turned out!

I used Poparazzi Teeny Yellow Bikini for my base. For being so cheap, these are surprisingly nice polishes, although they're not 5-free, but that doesn't bother me. Over that I stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM-322 and Ya Qin An grey stamping polish #16 from Born Pretty Store.

To take these cute little rabies-carriers to the next level, I added black flocking powder to just their tails!





Don't forget to check out everyone else's manis to see what autumn nails they're doing!

Thank you! There's just something fall about houndstooth huh?!
hahaah ' rabies-carriers' ;)
I hadn't noticed you did houndstooth as the background, which makes these even more awesome. I love the detail of the furry tails, so unique!

Thank you so much! Yea, I was hoping the houndstooth would be more prominent but I covered most of it! :/
Omgoodness; the use of the flocking powder in this mani is off the charts! Love it!

Thank you! They been out everywhere here too! And I'm beginning to think fall squirrels aren't as bright as spring squirrels with how many I keep seeing smooshed on the streets!
