Random Number Nail Art - Ethereal Lacquer Rainforest Stamping

Yesterday's Random Number Nail Art lead me to the color green and the 6th drawer in my 2nd Helmer unit, which resulted in Ethereal Lacquer's Rainforest for June 2019 Polish Pickup. This one is very sheer so I started out with a base of 2 coats of Bettina Cosmetics Green.

Followed up by 2 coats of Ethereal's Rainforest. This one is super shifty and full of aurora/unicorn pigments. It has an agua shift to it by itself but I wanted to bring out the gold and green shifts more, hence the green base.

Lastly, some very simple but I think, elegant stamping with MoYou London Pro 02 plate and Moonflower Polish Noche. Not to toot my own horn here but I do think it's the best black nail polish ever... and not just cause I made it. Oh forgot to mention, I used my trusty Simply Silver Stamper from Lantern & Wren.

To finish it off I sealed the whole mani with one perfectly smooth coat of Sassy Cats Lacquer Purrfect Shine topcoat (which was sent to me originally as a press sample).

I really do love how this one came out.

Random Number Nail Art - Orange and Blue - Moonflower Polish & MoYou London Nail Stamping

What is this?! A freaking blog post! I seriously think there's only 1 person still reading this...maybe 2, and they know who they are. Thanks. Ok so like almost everyone, I'm stuck at home due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Not that I normally go out anyway but besides the point. My son is doing virtual distance learning which consists of me sitting there next to him while he uses my desk and computer, explaining things occasionally. Same thing ends up happening with my daughter in middle school. For the most part I'm not actually doing anything other than technical support, reading stuff and explaining it to them so I find myself with extra time as I just sit there next to them while they work on stuff. So I strangely found myself with time to do nail art again. To make things easy? Fun? Simple? I made a list of sorts and assigned numbers. I started by having the kids just give me random numbers which correspond to various Helmers and drawers and then deciding on nail art based on the colors. But I also have random numbers for nail art techniques and stamping plate holders in case I can't think of anything. I have hundreds...a thousand... nail polishes and nail art stuff so I just wanted to get using these things again. Also it's relaxing.

So I had been taking pics of them on my phone previously and I'll make another blog post with all of those but today's the 2nd time I sat down and actually used my DSLR. Today's random number nail art resulted in a no-name franken orange of mine, with Moonflower Polish Navy stamped over it, using MoYou London Pro 02 plate (the little one, not XL).

I finished off with Sassy Cats Lacquer top coat in the scent Jolly Rancher and used my Lantern and Wren angled clean up brush. *Both of these items were sent as press samples in the past.*

That's all folks! Let me know your thoughts and what nail art design ideas I should try.

Sassy Cats Lacquer Ocean Wildfires - June Polish Pickup

Sassy Cats Lacquer Ocean Wildfires for June's Polish Pickup is a turquoise jelly polish with red-gold-green aurora shimmer and copper shimmer. It also has ultrachrome chameleon flakies that shift copper-green-gold and iridescent flakies that shift red-green-gold and blue crystal flakes. June 2019's theme is Weather Phenomena, Mohrayma of Sassy Cats was inspired by a viral photo of the recent California wildifres over Malibu. Ocean Wildfires is intentionally made to be sheer in 2 coats, to really let all those shimmers and flakies pop. You can layer it up to 3 coats for a deeper teal shade, or use as a topper in 1 coat. I have lots of swatches below!

Here's what it looks like in 3 coats:
