26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pattern on pattern


Hi all!

I missed a few weeks, oops. Here's pattern on pattern/double stamping. I stuck with greens and a swirly pattern.


Polishes:
  • Polish My Life - Money Maker
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 16 Green Neon
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used MoYou London's Fairytale 02.



Base: 2/3 coats of Money Maker. I first stamped with the green stamping polish, and then black on top. Sealed it all in with Elemental Ward.


Money Maker is a lovely green polish, I adore those flecks.


I tend to gravitate towards double stamping a lot anyway, so this was easy.

Love, Brethil

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical - Fruit


Hi all!

I've got the last Tropical mani for you today! It's no surprise I had to add some (banana) leaves, but today's really all about the tropical fruit! I just love the pineapple and pomegranate images.


Polishes:
  • Essence - 98 pure beauty
  • MoYou - Scandi Sun
  • Born Pretty - Stamping nail polish 379 (item 37602)
  • Born Pretty - Stamping nail polish BP-ML04 Aloof (item 42859-4)
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used 2 stamping plates: Hēhē 114 and BundleMonster's BM-S323.



Base: 2 coats of pure beauty. I used the green stamping polishes to stamp the leaves in a gradient. Then I stamped some tropical fruit on top with black. I finished with Elemental Ward.



Isn't this dark green stamping polish a lovely colour?

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical - Octopus


*press sample*

Hi all!

Today I've got some fun octopus nails for you. It's simple, because I didn't have that much time to do my nails and have the special top coat dry well enough before bedtime. Born Pretty Store was kind enough to let me try this top coat.


Polishes:

I also used MoYou's Cookbook 11 plate.



Base: 2 coats of Coconut or kiss the freaky frog (love the name). I stamped using kiss the freaky frog. I then added 2 coats of the crystal sand top coat to turn this into a textured mani. It did take a long time to dry properly. I do advise to be careful for at least an hour after application if you don't want to ruin it. But that's the case with a lot of textured polishes.


The sparkle is lovely in this textured top coat, don't you think?

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical - Jungle


*Press sample*

Hi all!

I'm going for the Jungle look today, using some water decals from Born Pretty Store they kindly sent to me for review. It's a huge sheet (item 43597 pattern 6) filled with flowers, tropical leaves and birds.


Polishes:


Base: 2 coats of wild white ways. On a few nails I dabbed some of the green polish on with a piece of sponge. I added the water decals to my nails next. Sealed it in with Elemental Ward.


These tropical leaves are right up my alley, I adore them.


Have you tried water decals by Born Pretty Store? They are always great and easy to use.

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical - Leopard & Leaves


Hi all!

More leaves, what can I say.... but paired with some leopard print. Also, totally stole this idea from MoYou's collab with Let's Nail Moscow. Obviously, mine's different, but I did get my inspiration from that mani.


Polishes:
  • Polish My Life - Saint
  • Polish My Life - Storm Clouds
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 86 Nephritis
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 90 Emerald
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used stamping plates Hēhē 076 and 114.




Base: 2 coats of Saint. I stamped the leopard print with Storm Clouds first and added the leaves with Nephritis and Emerald second. Sealed with Elemental Ward.



I really like this combination of grey with the pops of green and blue leaves.

Love, Brethil

The Digit-al Dozen does Tropical - Leaves


Hi all!

This month's theme is Tropical! Now we've had our Tropical weather over the past weeks and it's finally cooling down somewhat. My first Tropical mani has leaves, as I do seem to gravitate towards them a lot anyway.


Polishes:
  • Polish My Life - Stripped
  • Kaleidoscope - Stamping 01 Black
  • Kaleidoscope - Aquarelle tints 02
  • Kaleidoscope - Aquarelle tints 03
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used stamping plate BP-L047.



Base: 2 coats of Stripped. I stamped using the black stamping polish and used leadlighting to fill in the leaves with green. Ended with Elemental Ward as usual.



Love, Brethil

Nail Challenge Collaborative presents: Geometric - Triangles


Hi all!

Even though I'm nearly 2 weeks late posting this, I had to post my second Geometric mani that's been sitting on my camera all this time. My camera and pc aren't on speaking terms, and I wasn't able to fix that situation. I finally just bought a card reader to be able to transfer my photos from my camera to my pc in the end.


Polishes:
  • MoYou - Scandi Sun
  • MoYou - Midnight Madness
  • MoYou - Glacier
  • MoYou - Teenage Blush
  • MoYou - One and Only
  • Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

I also used MoYou's Holy Shapes 13 stamping plate.



Base: Scandi Sun (2 coats). I stamped using Midnight Madness and filled out the triangles with the other colours before transferring it onto my nails. Top coated with elemental Ward.




Love, Brethil
