26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Lilac, pink + gold


Hi all!

This week we're pairing lilac, pink and gold. I wasn't too thrilled about gold, because I dislike anything gold coloured really. It's just not for me, I prefer silver. But I managed to add it in such a way that it wasn't too obnoxious for me.


Polishes:
  •  Polish My Life - Muscat Martini
  • Barry M - Gelly - GNP20 Rose Hip
  • L.A. Girl - 3D Effects - Dazzling Pink
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black
  • Mundo de Unas - 17 Gold
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward


I used two stamping plates, Bundle Monster's BM-606 and MoYou London's Mother Nature 04.



Base: 2 coats of Muscat Martini. I stamped with the gold stamping polish and the tiny triangles from BM-606. I made stamping decals with the dainty looking flowers from the other stamping plate and both pink polishes. I stuck those on and topped it all with Elemental Ward.



I hope you like this mani, I'm still not sure about the gold, but it wasn't too obvious in this mani.

Love, Brethil

Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Green - Minty Leopard


Hi all!

My second green mani for this month is with a special one-of-a-kind polish, one of the orphan polishes I rescued from Lucky 13 Lacquer. Orphans are those polishes that are prototype "fails", yet lovely all the same.


Polishes:
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - A Little Encourage-Mint
  • Born Pretty - #18 Green
  • Kaleidoscope - stamping 06 Mint
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Stamping plate I used is Hēhē 076.



Base: 2 coats of Encourage-Mint. I did some double stamping with both stamping polishes and ended with top coat.


Isn't this a lovely orphan?


I hope you liked this simple mani with a lovely polish!

Love, Brethil

Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Green - Contour glitter map


Hi all!

This month is all about green. I was needing some glitter and this mani happened. Mint green is green after all.


Polishes:
  • NYC - 035 Cupcakes and Latte
  • Barry M - GTNP4 Catwalk Queen
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 06 Mint
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used Hēhē stamping plate 091.



Base: 1 coat of Cupcakes and Latte topped with 2 coats of Catwalk Queen. I topcoated and then stamped the contour map image with the mint stamping polish from Kaleidoscope. I added some more Catwalk Queen here and there to make it more interesting and then topcoated again.



Glittery nails do make me happy! What do you think?

Love, Brethil

26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Yellow and 1 bold colour


Hi all!

For some reason the amount of mani's I do exceeds what I manage to get online.... my vault is growing... ugh. Anyways, this week's prompt is about Yellow and 1 bold colour. I paired the palest of yellows with bold blue dots.


Polishes:
  • Polish My Life - Rays of Sun
  • Barry M - GNP5 - Blueberry
  • Barry M - GNP27 - Damson
  • Barry M - GNP17 - Blue Grape
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward


Base: 2 coats of Rays of Sun. With a dotting tool I added the blue dots. Sealed it all in with top coat.



This yellow is so lovely, it's the palest yellow I own and very opaque. Gotta love that Polish My Life creme formula.

Love, Brethil
