  • MoYou - Glacier
  • MoYou - Teenage Blush
  • MoYou - Scandi Sun
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black

I also used two stamping plates from Born Pretty Store, kindly sent to review: Flower Yarn S002 (item 43672) and Tropical Punch L002 (item 44329).




Base: Either  2 coats of Moonlit or Glacier. I stamped the scales from the Flower Yarn plate on top. I created 2 stamping decals of one of the flamingo images. I stamped those in black and then added the colouring using the other polishes. After adding the decals to my nails I sealed everything with Elemental Ward.



Moonlit just makes it so tropical, don't you agree?

The Digital Dozen does Look Up - Loki


Hi all!

This last mani of the Look Up week is inspired by a poster hanging above one of my computer screens. I've got Loki looking down at me, great view to have each day. All the geometric patterns combined with Loki's colours ended up with this mani today.


Polishes:
  • Essence - 161 ciao oliviero
  • Essence - 139 walk on the wild side
  • Essence - 160 deep sea, baby
  • Catrice - LE Matchpoint - C01 Team Lucky Mustards
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used stamping plate ND104.



Base: 1 coat of ciao oliviero. I dabbed some of the polishes onto a stamper and smooshed it on top of my nails. I stamped using deep sea, baby and topped it with Elemental Ward.



I do love the combination of these colours and stamping marbles are easy and fun as well. I also owe you how my desk area and everything that dangles above looks like, so here you go:



Can you spot all my inspiration items?

Love, Brethil

  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 85 Brown
