26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Winter Warmth

Hi all!

Today's theme is "winter warmth". When I think of winter warmth I see warm fuzzy sweaters. I haven't done sweater nails before, so perhaps it was finally time.

Polishes:

• Aliquid Lacquer - Gargoyle
• Mundo de Uñas - 33 Light Grey
• Mundo de Uñas - 34 Dark Grey
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used stamping plate BPL-032 from Born Pretty Store (which is on sale right now).

Base: 2 coats of Gargoyle. I added both grey stamping polishes onto my stamping plate and scraped until they blended into a gradient. Stamped it onto my nails and sealed it in with Elemental Ward.

I've been enjoying this mani for just over 5 days now, which shows you I really like it. What do you think?

Love, Brethil

The Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Dots - Dotty triangle

Hi all!

It's nearly been another week already. Nailwise, not much has happened, I'm even wearing a single polish and no nail art right now. All my energy is gone with this awful cold I caught. Lucky for you I wore the mani I'm showing you today a week ago! It features one of Very Emily's collaboration polishes with Femme Fatale (which I was lucky enough to win!).

Polishes:

• Femme Fatale - Nord-Pas-de-Calais Trio - La Sirène
• Cirque - Cypress
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: Either 3 coats of Cypress or 2 coats of La Sirène. I added tiny dots with a dotting tool in a triangle shape on each nail with the other polish. I chose this combination because I feel like the shimmer in La Sirène appears coppery in certain angles. I ended with Elemental Ward.

I think Emily did a great job with this collaboration, it's a gorgeous polish (the other 2 are as well).

Love, Brethil

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Black base

Hi all!

Today I've got a vampy look for you, one day late obviously... oops. In my defense, I left my home just before 7 am in the morning and didn't get home until after midnight. I had a fun work outing (escape room and dinner). But you came here for the nails, so let's get to it then, shall we?

Polishes:

• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Dark Matter
• Cirque - Queen Majesty
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: 1 coat of Dark Matter. I added a layer of top coat and let it dry. Then I added some Whats Up Nails nail vinyls (Moroccan Stencils). I sponged on Queen Majesty next, removed the vinyl and sealed it in with two coats of Elemental Ward.

Look at that sparkle and shine!

Would you wear dark and vampy nail art like this? Let me know!

Love, Brethil

The Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Dots - Minty gradient dots

Hi all!

This month's theme is Dots! My first mani for this month is actually something I wore nearly two months ago. Hence the shorter nails *winks*.

Polishes:

• Foxy Paws - Just Leave Everything To Me
• Sinful Colors - 101 Snow Me White
• Mundo de Unas - 24 aqua
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: 2 coats of Just Leave Everything to Me. On my accent nails I used Stick It! nail vinyls (pattern Bubble Stencils) and sponged a gradient on top with Snow Me White and Aqua. After removing the nail vinyl I added everything with my favourite top coat Elemental Ward.

Of course I didn't pay attention when placing the vinyls, that's why the big dots are on the tips versus near my cuticle. Which side do you prefer?

Ahhh, just look at that holo! Seriously loving this soft mint holo from Foxy Paws. You can still get it here before it's gone!

Love, Brethil
