Fall Trees

Prompt: Fall Trees

I wasn't sure if this would turn out well, but I think it works! I'm a bit sad that it was overcast and I didn't get to capture the subtle holo of the polish too.

Supplies:

Rogue Lacquer Petrified Forest

Born Pretty Galactic Center

Seche Astute

Twinkled T So Extra

BPL-026: Maple Leaf

Ejiubas + Sarah R2: Small Leaves (row 4, column 2 and 4)

Geological Wonder

 I am in love with these indie polishes from Rogue Lacquer. The holo, the multichrome flakies, the color... it's all love. This is Geological Wonder.

I just had to decorate with some simple stamping.

Supplies:

Rogue Lacquer Geological Wonder

Twinkled T So Extra 

Ejiubas Plate EJB-02 Reverse Side, swirls on lower left

Zodiac: Cancer

 Tried to do a constellation in the stars effect for this. Made a 'custom' white by mixing acrylic paint and glow in the dark powder first, then made it more intense by mixing gel topcoat with the glow powder and adding a second layer. It certainly glowed!

Supplies:

ILNP Summer Stargazing

ILNP Interstellar (one coat on top for the scattered holo)

White Acrylic paint

Blue glow in the dark powder

Wildflowers Gel Topcoat

Pond

Pond Manis seem to be the new jelly sandwich from back in the day! This was a bit rushed, but the idea is still there. I had to make a custom jelly - OPI I Can Teal You Like Me from the Sheer Tints line was too light, and OPI Turquoise Aesthetic was too dark. But mixed together, they're perfect!

Supplies:

Zoya Ness (base)

Sephora by OPI Dark Room (stamp)

Dixie Plates DP 10: Lilies 

OPI I Can Teal You Like Me

OPI Turquoise Aesthetic

Acrylic Paint

GDCOCO 3D Carving Gel White

Moroccan Inspired

Prompt: Moroccan Inspired Stamping

I found a stamp on plate BPL-028 that I thought looked looked like Moroccan mosaic tile. I reverse stamped this pattern and then colored in tiny sections. Because the white was so prevalent, it ended up being less colorful than I had originally wanted but still turned out okay!

Supplies:

OPI Alpine Snow

Twinkled T Stamping White

Zoya Carmen

China Glaze Werk It Honey

Zoya Mallory

OPI Was It All Just a Dream?

China Glaze Liquid Leather

OPI In My Back Pocket

Zoya Yummy

Melody of the Night

 Painting in acrylics on nails is one of my favorite things. I recreated the painting by Leonid Afremov as best I could - I love the vibrant colors! In order to do photos without glare I used a matte top coat, which did dull it ever so slightly.

 

Supplies: 

OPI Alpine Snow

Acrylic Paint

GEL LEN matte topcoat

Thermal with Stamping

 I love this thermal gel polish. I thought I'd try gel polish to see if it keeps its thermal-reactivity longer and so far so good! These photos don't show the stamping the greatest. I used foil stamping gel and gold foil, and it's so mirror-finish that it shows up with darker spots due to my camera!

Fairy Glo Gel Polish 5023
