Siobhan from For the Love of Nail Art is no stranger to anyone reading my blog. She is the one who inspired me and really created this monster. Not only is she incredibly talented and creative she is also one of the nicest people I know. She is also completely whacky and nutty like me and I am lucky to know her.
She asked me to do a guest post on her blog (which is such an honour) and of course in return I asked her to do one for me. So here it is!
_______________________________________________________________
The way I see Michelle:
Hello *waves*! It’s me V!I asked M to write me a guest post a while ago and she asked me to do one back for her so I figured I’d like to do a representation of how I see her. I thought that would be way cooler a tutorial or just a regular mani post.
And so was my Mittle (Skittle for M) mani was born.
Theme colour is PINK. Why? It’s M’s favourite colour and also the colour of her hair! (It’s also my favourite colour so BONUS!)
Polish used:Base colours: Tip Top’s Melting Marshmallow, Tickled Pink, Sitting Pretty and Pot O Berries.
Additional colours for art: Revlon’s Gold Coin, Foschini Colours’ Kaleidoscope, Sinful Colors’ Snow me White and Tip Top’s Night Life glitter.
PINKY: a pink polka dot mashup to represent M’s love for polkas. I did them in a half moon fashion, inspired by her half moon polka dot post http://ordinarymisfit.com/2013/04/03/curvy-dots
HOW TO: paint two coats of pastel pink; using a dotting tool and three shades of pink, make alternating lines of polkas.
RING: a golden heart to represent her heart of gold. She’s so kind and generous. She goes the extra mile for anyone.
HOW TO: paint two coats of metallic pink; using a dotting tool and gold polish, make a V shape and fill it in to form a heart.
MIDDLE: a jelly sarmie to represent her hidden shine. Her shine isn’t out there up in your face. It’s a little hidden but with some time you get to see her really sparkle! (This is also my second successful jelly sarmie so it’s my fav of the mittle.)
HOW TO: paint two coats of jelly pink, paint one/two coats of a glitter topper, paint one coat of your jelly pink over the glitter.
INDEX: an ombre leopard print because it’s on a stamp plate that came from her. She’s also fierce like leopard!!! And she loves stamping.
HOW TO: paint two coats of dark pink; on your stamping plate paint half the design in white and the other half in metallic pink, scrape, transfer to stamper and stamp on.
THUMB: an upside down pink glitter ombre because she’s crazy and fun and cool. She’s an ordinary misfit in an upside down world making her different!
HOW TO: paint two coats of pastel pink, using pink glitter paint layers of it from the cuticle up moving further up with each layer.
So which of my fingers has your favourite design? In truth even though the jelly sarmie is my fav, I love all the designs because it is such a cool mani!
Thank you M for allowing me to spam your blog and for being as kwaai as you are!!

I am really lucky. Isn’t she awesome!?
Aghh!!! It’s too hard to pick a favorite!! But, since miss V is being so ornery on twitter tonight :p I’ll pick just to avoid problems. 😉 I think the gradient leopard print stamp is me favorite. I like how each nail has an explanation, too. Very cute!! Good job! 🙂 Your guest posts on each others blogs have been fun to see. 🙂
I’m so glad you chose a fav! Now don’t have to put up depro fb stati (what’s the plural for status?) LMAO
Thank you Nics by the way 🙂
Thank you SO much Nicole!! I love that each nail was thought out with such attention to details. Isn’t she the best? (when she isn’t so ornery :P)
This is so sweet! I love all of the explanations.
Me too. Thanks Lesley!
Loved them…so sweet!

Homemade Tools | For The Love of Nail art
[…] Dotting Tools: Now dotting tools can be ANYTHING you can make a dot with. I’ve used toothpicks, a ballpoint pen, a hairpin that I just opened up, an earbud (I wet it first then dip in polish), I’ve used a dressers/sewing pin (those straight pins with a ball on one end) stuck in a pencil with an eraser bum, even straws can be used for bubble type/ringed dots. (Straws are also fab for paint splat manis.) Currently I use my dotting tool that I got with my brushes from Planet Nails (South Africa store that has stores all over SA and you can buy online) AS WELL AS a cake pop stick for big polkas. I used it to make the heart for Ordinary Misfit’s Mittle. […]
