Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Black & White - Leafy

Hi all!

Today I've got my second black & white mani for you. A bit simpler because I usually don't have that much time to do my nails.

Polishes:

• Polish My Life - Stripped
• Kaleidoscope - stamping 01 black
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used Born Pretty Store stamping plate BP-L047.

Base: 2 coats of Stripped. I stamped using the Kaleidoscope stamping polish and then topped it with Elemental Ward.

This is a pretty simple mani, but I enjoyed it. Okay, for a day and then I had to add colour by leadlighting the leaves.... *winks*

Love, Brethil

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Spring Animals

Hi all!

Spring is definitely here, flowers starting to bloom everywhere. I love this season. This week we're all about Spring Animals. My mani is inspired by this image. As usual, a few days late *winks*

 Polishes:

• Catrice - LE Sand'Sation - C03 Sandhopper
• Kaleidoscope - 02 White
• Kaleidoscope - 06 Mint
• Kaleidoscope - 79 Gray-Blue
• Kaleidoscope - 81 Bisque
• Kaleidoscope - 84 Manatee
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Dark Matter
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: 2 coats of Sandhopper, a textured polish.  Adding the rest was a bit tricky since I didn't topcoat it first. I used a dotting tool and nail art brush to add the bunny faces, flowers and leaves. I topcoated everything twice to smooth everything out.

I do love the sparkle the base polish brings.

I hope you like this cutesie mani!

Love, Brethil

Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Black & White - Drip Marble

Hi all!

This month is all about black & white. I had to try a drip marble again in more regular marble colours.

Polishes:

• Polish My Life - Stripped
• I Love Nail Polish - A.C. Slater
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Stardust
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Marble nails: I created drip marble decals using the tutorial from My Simple Little Pleasures using Stripped, Stardust and A.C. Slater. Accent nails: base 2 coats of Stripped. I cut out pieces of marble decals and stuk them on, adding an outline with A.C. Slater. Everything was topped with Elemental Ward.

I really love the marble look and the randomness of it.

What do you think of this look?

Love, Brethil

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Mixed tape mani

Hi all!

A few days late, but here's my interpretation of Mixed tape mani. I used two types of striping tape.

Polishes:

• I Love Nail Polish - MEGA
• Essence - 22 i ♥ my blue jeans
• Essence - 128 let's get lost
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: 2 coats of MEGA. I used both wide straight tape and waved tape to section off random areas. I filled two areas with the blue polishes, removed the tape and then sealed it all with Elemental Ward.

Bonus image with direct light to show off the holo in MEGA.

Hope you enjoyed this,

Love, Brethil
