The Digit-al Dozen does Decades - 70s Paisley

Hello everyone! Today sees the start of another Digit-al Dozen week and our theme for this month is Decades. I'm a lot happier with this theme as there is a lot of scope to stretch it! I'm starting with pretty much my favourite print of all time, mostly famous (and infamous!) for being omnipresent in the 1970s, but luckily for me it had a minor resurgence in the 90s that I was able to take advantage of and wear it to death for about a year. Fortunately, I'm not a teenager any more and don't care what anyone thinks, so now I wear it whenever the hell I like :D



I started with two coats of Jessica Ruffled Bottoms, before painting in the paisley shapes with LA Colors French White. I added the inner details using Barry M Gellys in Lychee and Key Lime, Models Own Lilac Dream and a little more Ruffled Bottoms before finishing with Seche Vite (still haven't chosen that new top coat!)






I'm loving this, but then again I would - its paisley! I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but it floats my boat every time!

Same time tomorrow! In the meantime, check out everyone else's Day 1 Decades :)
