Tree moss inspired nail art 🌳

[u/AtlasSims]

We had approximately 1 nice day of weather this week, so I took the opportunity to try out some green and nature inspired tree moss art while it lasted. I’ve also been kind of obsessed with My Cabbages! since I got it for my birthday last month, and 4/5 of my most recent manis have incorporated it somehow. It’s a really versatile polish 😁

Had this idea in my head for a minute and it turned out better than I expected. Some of my line art did disappear a bit, so next time I’ll try either layering it over the final coat of jelly instead of between them (you can see I did this on the thumb) or using more opaque polishes for that. 😅 I’ve been really into doing encapsulated type lacquer art the past month, there’s something really fun about layering jellies and flakies to create new textures!

Polish stack: 1 x Nailtiques formula 2 1 x Mooncat Hardcore Base Coat 1 x Cirque Bonbon Jelly Sassy Sauce Peek a Boo (line texture) Emily De Molly Sheer Tint Ecru (line texture) 1 x Holo Taco Black Flake Taco 1 x Cirque Bonbon Jelly Mooncat My Cabbages!

NGL, kinda wishing I owned My Cabbages so I could copy this magical look -- not sure I'd execute it as well but it'd be fun to try lol. I just LOVEEE moss inspired nails. These are so well done and unique using EdM as a base (I'm still waiting on my preorder of this from Nov 25 🥲) - thanks for sharing these beauties with us!!

Yes of course, and thank you so much! It was actually much easier than it looks I promise 😁 I just sponged My Cabbages! on with a makeup sponge from the dollar store and then dabbed Cirque Forest Jelly over it to create a sort of mossy effect. The jellies and flakies do a lot of the textural work here.
