Guest Blogger Friday: Space Life Thoughts

Say hi to my friend Gwen, we met in a FB group and have been chatting and doing swaps ever since.  I was so excited when she agreed to do a guest post for me.  I love her blog and her mani's.  Make sure to stop by Space Life Thoughts to say hi :)

Hiya!

When Amanda asked people to do a guest post for her I didn’t have to think about it. I decided I wanted to participate immediately. So here it is, my guest post for Mandy ‘s Polish.

I want to show you guys a pretty holographic lacquer. The summer hasn’t been very warm and sunny in the Netherlands but when the sun was shining for a couple of days I really wanted my nails to shine. This is three coats of Milani Digital. I sandwiched this color with a layer of Poshé topcoat after the second coat of Digital.

This polish is at its finest in the sun.  But it’s not dull at all in the shade. It would be perfectly fine to wear this color when there’s no sun at all!

Thanks for watching and I hope to see you guys at my blog sometime!

Lazy Days of Summer: Summer Days and Summer Nights

Happy Labor Day!!!  I am sharing 2 Summer Challenges with you today.  I am behind and trying to catch up.  Numbers 11 and 12 are Summer Days and Summer Nights.  Where I live it's pretty damn hot during the day.  So I decided flames were appropriate LOL  The evenings are kind of cool with clear skies, which is why I chose Galax-E from Pretty & Polished for my Summer Nights Mani.  Super simple and to the point :)

Milani 3D Holographic: Hi-Res

Spring has sprung!  I don't normally do light flowery nails,  but I thought spring was a good cause.  Plus, I just got a new polish I wanted to try out.  I have heard of the Milani 3D Holographic polishes and have been wanting to try them out.  I didn't own any Holo polishes and this is a good place to start, at least I think so.
In the store I was a bit worried about the lack of holo effect so I picked up 2 to try out.  Last night was testing night.  I layered Hi-Res over black polish to get a nice opaque color.  The coverage was pretty good :)  Then this morning I couldn't decide on what kind of stamping I wanted to do, flowers or butterflies?  So I decided to do both!

I was pleasantly surprised when I went outside to take pics.  Nice sparkly holo nails, YAY!!  Not as holo as a lot of other polishes, but this is quit pretty out in the sun.
