Guest Blogger Friday: WalkInMyEyeShadow

It's Guest Blogger Friday over here. Today Natalie is joining us from WalkInMyEyeShadow. She is a newer blogger and has some great stuff to show you. Go check her out!!

*********************************************************************************

G'day all!

My name is Natalie Elise and I am a beauty blogger from Australia. Most of my time is spent either researching makeup and nails or blogging on my website, WalkInMyEyeShadow. When I was asked to do a guest post for Mandy's Polish I was really excited so hopefully you enjoy my mani and please check out my blog.

For my guest post I wanted to create a manicure inspired by peacock colours. My favorite colours are teal and purple and I wanted to bring those into a manicure, and this is what I came up with.

Here are the supplies I used for this manicure.

As a base colour I used China Glaze "Shower Together". I then applied stripes of colour across the background using various peacock inspired shade from LA Colours Art Deco. The colours I used were Magenta, Vibrant, Dark Blue and Forest Green.

I then added a little bit of sparkle by using the glitter stripers in Blue Glitter, Teal Glitter and a purple glitter striper that I don't know the name of. This is how it turned out

I then stamped a design from Mash image plate 49 with China Glaze "Metallic Muse", and this is how it turned out

Hopefully you have enjoyed my guest post here on Mandy's Polish, I would like to thank Amanda for giving me the opportunity to become known by a wider audience and look forward to hearing any feedback you have for me. Please check out my blog for more looks and reviews.

Lazy Days of Summer: Beach Theme

The April Showers Bring May Flowers challenge has morphed into a summer challenge called Lazy Days of Summer. Here are the challenges

This is going to be interesting. I have no idea what to do for most of these! I did my beach themed mani. Although it isn't like there is a beach on my nails, I love how this turned out. I wanted to do some thing from the beach. I wish mermaids were at the beach, so that is what I decided to do. I got the idea from a fish mani is saw from Soguesswhat11. I love her stuff!! I didint' have a light blue, so I went with turquoise and dubbed this a mermaid mani. What do you think?

Teal Tuesday: Glitter Freestyle

It's Tuesday which means I am showing you a Teal Mani. This weeks theme is Glitter Freestyle. I Don't have a ton of glitters that go with teal or even a teal glitter. I have been wanting to try a glitter gradient and thought this would be a good time to try it out.

It didn't come out exactly how I planned. I think because this type of gradient looks really good on either a dark base coat or a bare nail. Either way, I gave it a try, it didn't turn out too bad :)

Base Coat: Seche Rebuild

Base Color: Sally Hansen Insta Dri Mint Sprint

Glitters: Pure Ice Oh Baby, China Glaze Fairy Dust & Color Club Starry Temptress

Top Coat: Seche Vite

EDIT: I had this post ready to go last night. When I woke up this morning, I just wasn't too happy with my nails. So I decided to add more glitter and some stamping :) I like it much better now and can wear this mani for a few days now.
