The Digital Dozen does Textured - Shells

Hi all!

Last mani for this week, and again, I used textured polishes. I'm keeping this short, because I am a tad late posting....

Polishes:

• KIKO - 636 Mint
• KIKO - 637 Turquoise
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 86 Nephritis

I also used Creative Shop 28.

Base: One coat of Mint. I added a gradient of both textured polishes with a sponge. I stamped a shell image using Nephritis.

Love, Brethil

The Digital Dozen does Textured - Leopard

Hi all!

I'm back with a textured polish today. It used to be thermal as well, but I've had this since 2015 I believe and thermal pigment doesn't last that long. But it's still textured of course!

Polishes:

• Superficially Coourful Lacquer - Steamy Affair
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 30 Sea Depths
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black

I also used MoYou London's Tropical Collection 36.

Base: 2 coats of Steamy Affair. I stamped the leopard print using Sea Depths first. It's barely visible though, Sea Depths is greenish and slightly darker on this base. I added some more stamping with black.

I better start on my last mani! Eeep, I'm so behind!

Love, Brethil

The Digital Dozen does Textured - Fern

Hi all!

Today's mani appears to have texture (I think), but doesn't. I absolutely love how this one looks.

Polishes:

• Polish My Life - Perfect Nightcap
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 23 Aurora Borealis
• MoYou London - Winter Sky
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used 2 Hēhē stamping polishes: 104 and 052.

Base: 1 coat of Perfect Nightcap.  I stamped the broken lines using Aurora Borealis, which is a duochrome stamping polish. I added the fern leaves using Winter Sky and then topped it all with Elemental Ward.

Isn't Aurora Borealis amazing with that colour shift. I feel it really brings dimension to the nail.

Love, Brethil

The Digital Dozen does Textured - Lick-O-Rich

Hi all!

Another textured polish today, one from Sally Hansen I got in a Big Bazar store I think (they sell discounted older collection nail polishes amongst lots of cheap things). I've had it for a while now though.

Polishes:

• Sally Hansen - Sugar Coat - 800 Lick-O-Rich
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 92 Dark blue neon
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 14 Fuchsia
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 22 Silver
• Born Pretty Store - 379

I also used MoYou London's Tropical Collection 36.

Base: 2 coats of Lick-O-Rich. I used the bottle brushes to add distressed swipes before stamping silver leaves on top.

I actually really like this combo of distressed with leaves... obviously leaves...

Love, Brethil

The Digital Dozen does Textured - Strict

Hi all!

This week might be filled with textured polishes... today I've got an oldie for you that I got in Berlin way back in July 2013 around the start of this blog.

Polishes:

• P2 - Sand Style - 060 Strict
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 89 Cognac
• Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black

I also used stamping plate Creative Shop 31.

Base: 2 coats of Strict. I stamped with Cognac first and Black second.

Apologies for the blurry thumb picture, it appears I didn't actually take any that were in focus...

I always love Strict, it's such a lovely colour, neutral yet a bit funky from being textured.

Love, Brethil
