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.

ReplyDeleteWell, I've been jobless since the fall, and having a peculiarly hard time finding employment (and my severance is running out FAST). And then my relationship is dissolving and I'm supposed to be out of the house by January. So, yeah! Fun times! If I had the means, I'd totally come build a pillow fort on your floor.
ReplyDeleteEhm.... No sooner said than done!
ReplyDeleteMy today post is dedicated to you ^_^

I just saw it! Super lovely, I especially love the colours you chose, they made it so that it was still holidays-like, but also kind of edgy! Really well done, sweetheart!!

ReplyDeleteI AM SO OBSESSED WITH THIS TEXTURE! These are probably my favorite nails all week (shhhh, don't tell the others!). Also a little late, but sending some vibes right now <3
ReplyDelete(I'm taking your secret to the grave.) This texture is the easiest dang thing, you should totally try it sometime. The hardest part is guessing at what point in the drying process the polish is still wet enough to do this...
