earthy nature skittle🌲

i went on a short trip to a state park and decided to do a cute nature themed skittle for the occasion!! also green for late st. pattys day haha💕😛 this was definitely a mani of firsts for me! first time doing aura effect, first time using any nail powder, and first time nail stamping 🙂

from left to right on left hand:

♡ tales of ba sing se (mooncat) , velvetized 30lb horseshoe

♡ base color is sunlit moss (cracked). aura effect done with sunlit moss, like it loud (essie), suzi first lady of nails (opi), and lions tooth (cracked)

♡ fringes & saddle (essie), straight up black stamping polish (maniology)

♡ lions tooth (cracked), wedding veil aurora powder (lights lacquer), mascara flakes (cracked)

♡ sunlit moss (cracked), light green stamping polish (maniology)

♡ topped with sally hansen insta dri top coat

❧ nail stamping details: i used maniology armored wings and devils & angels: thorns of roses stamping plate

❧ the chrome stickers are 3D chrome flame nail stickers by lights lacquer

❧ the same colors were used on my right hand, except i skipped suzi first lady of nails on the aura effect. i also did not add the wedding veil aurora powder over top the lions tooth for the right thumb, though i did for the right pinkie with mascara flakes.

❧ process: i did all the base colors for the nails, then did a coat of instadri and waited a while for it to dry before i proceeded with the stamping, aura, and powder. for the aura , i did about 3-4 layers with a sponge, waiting for the polish to dry to the touch in between coats.
