The Digit-al Dozen Recreates--Day 3!

(Press samples and affiliate links ahead!)



Hello!


I'm back to recreate another of my very first manis! Are you ready to see what I'm working with today?


I'm not...sigh...




Okay, well, yeah. Where do I start?! Let's ignore the horrendous cuticles--I was literally cleaning up my cuticles back then with Q-tips, no lie. But in terms of design, there's plenty to improve here. I love red and beige and black together, but the red tips just don't work here. And, while I realize I had only a few plates and so I had very limited choices, the scale of the paws versus the cat drives me insane. So, I wanted to see if there was a way I could preserve as much of this design as possible while fixing those issues.


Here's the updated version:


BeautyBigBang XL-013 and UberChic Beauty Furry Friends over Girly Bits Irreplaceable and Zoya Noah


For a less garish French-tip look, I started with a base of Girly Bits Irreplaceable and pained my tips with Zoya Noah. Then I stamped my paw prints from UberChic Beauty's Furry Friends, and the rest of my images from BeautyBigBang XL-013 (I'll have a video review of the set this plate comes in up on my YouTube channel soon!).  I stamped with Kaleidoscope by El Corazon in Black. To honor the red from the original mani, I went over the heart on the kitty's chest with Zoya Rekha.


I definitely think this is a much better version of the original--and can I just say thank heavens from clean-up brushes?! Also, if you want to snatch up the BeautyBigBang plate, you can use my code, MISHKA824M for 10% off your purchase.


I'll be back tomorrow with another recreation; in the meantime, check out what the other ladies did, linked below. :)


Big hugs,
M. xoxo
