DIGIT-AL DOZEN WEEK: Red/Green/Gold Abstract Christmas Tree

Nothing to Disclose

Hello lovelies! It's that time of the month again! (Not THAT time of the month... but that time of the month.)


Digit-al Dozen Week! Yaaaaay!! This week our theme is red/green/gold, which is very seasonally appropriate. I've started with these abstract tree typa things.


I am a terrible blogger. I did these a good month ago and forgot entirely to write down which polishes I used. Augh! The worst! So the "Polishes Used" section today is going to be comprised of my best guess at things. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.


I do remember how I did these, though! I started by painting my nails dark green. I then took a lighter green and started dry-brushing in all directions on top of the dark green before the base was fully dry (that's what gave it that texture). I then did dots in the red, and outlined them in the gold.


Polishes used:
Zoya - Shawn
American Apparel - Crescent Heights
Layla - Softouch 08 (Fire It Up)
Quo by Orly - Filthy Rich
Duri - Rejuvacote (base coat)
no top coat, to preserve the texture
dotting tool
liner brush

I think this is my favourite mani of the entire week. I have so much Real Life stuff going on, and have had for what feels like an eternity now, that my nail art has been suffering. To date, I haven't even broken out the acrylic paints! Unheard of!! Please to be sending me your most fervent "please don't be homeless and jobless" vibes, thanks in advance...

xo,

J.
