[Guest Post] For the Love of Nail Art

Happy Monday everyone.  I hope you had a fabulous long weekend and this week treats you well.

I asked a few of my special friends to do a few guest posts for me.  The first one is from Siobhan from For the Love of Nail Art.  I have told you many times how awesome I think she is and she has proved it yet again.

For Someone Who Loves Polkas as much as Me – By V

There is no reason or rhyme for this nail art except that M asked me to guest star for her.

I’ve already showed you how I see her and from that post you should know she also likes polka dots… and pink. I think one of these days M isn’t going to ask me to guest for her because I also do PINK but it’s a great excuse for me to pick one of my many pinks to wear or showcase.

And just so you know, I wanted to do nail art inspired by Fat F@#$ Frank but that’s kind of hard and he’s black… so a plain black mani wasn’t going to cut it for me. I love FF-Frank! He’s such a rockstar. My other idea was to do a pixiedust inspired nail art but I didn’t feel like it because it became a hot mess.

I saw something similar on a nail art page on Facebook and I wanted to try out the design so doing this for M was perfect.

 

These are pretty simple to do, I’ll tell you shortly how to:

1. Wipe nails down with white vinegar to prevent polish peeling.
2. Base coat
3. Two coats of Tip Top’s Tickled Pink. A pretty, slight metallic pink. Leave to dry.
4. Using a biggish dotting tool and white polish, randomly dot your nails here and there. Then take a smaller, toothpick pointed dotting tool and dot with the white here and there in between the bigger white dots. I used Sinful Colors’ Snow me White.
5. Using the same method in step 4 but use a pastel pink. I used Tip Top’s Melting Marshmallow.
6. Clean your tools with acetone.
7. Finish with top coat.
8. Enjoy your pink bubbles.

 

Now come on, tell me you don’t like this? It’s simple and you can use practically any colour! I love pink and polkas, M likes pink and polkas so we’re happy 😀
