GUEST POST - Mandy from Ladymaidnails.blogspot.ca

First things first, hello I'm Mandy from Ladymaidnails.blogspot.ca. I blog over there regularly and hope you will stop by sometime.

Emma and I were talking recently, and she mentioned she was leaving shortly to assist with some preparation for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. I offered right away to guest post, because I thought of this manicure in her honor. This is the logo I found online for the Commonwealth Games this year. 

The polishes I used for the skittlette and art were Nabi Sky (blue), OPI Shop Til Sunset (orange), and OPI Passion for Fashion (red).

The white base on the accent art finger is Sally Hansen White On. I first went in with a fine striping brush and black acrylic paint to get the black lines. Then started with the center colour and worked my way out. After I went back in with the striper brush and some white acrylic to clean up all the lines.

I took one picture each for you in my lightbox and sunlight. This last one is a close up to show you the art. Less perfect this close, but there you go!




Good luck to Emma this week.

Cheers all.
Mandy

Seeing as it is fast approaching 2019 (I started this post on 31st December but ran out of time), I am in a very reflective mood and wanted to write more than I could in a Tweet or an Instagram post.  So, sit back and relax.... here goes: If you do follow me on Instagram, or even more so on Twitter, you will already know that I like a good moan, and 2018 provided a few things for me to moan about.  There were definitely lows, however, I'm not going to dwell on those too much and focus on the highs, the things I have gained in 2018, and the moments I have enjoyed. The start of 2018 was definitely a huge low at the time, with the end of a fairly long relationship.  I am so grateful to family, friends, and even strangers on the internet who sent me kind messages and helped me through the initial fi

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 - Nigeria

Nailsxo World Cup Nails 2014 Nigeria Nails & Football, two of my favourite things! I am so excited to be taking part in this challenge, which is the brainchild of Emily over at Nailsxo .   Everybody who is taking part in the challenge was assigned a random Country which is taking part in the World Cup in Brazil (not long until it starts, yay!).  After being given the Country (I was assigned Nigeria ), the challenge was to make some nails based on the Country.  Also, which ever teams wins the World Cup, the person who was assigned them wins a prize (although, let's face it... I'm not really expecting Nigeria to do that well)! So here they are: My index and little fingers are my own take on Nigerian fabric patterns. I was using my friend google to help me find some inspiration for my nails.  I found a  website about Nigeria , and found out that tie dying is very popular.  I also did a google image search for Nigerian patterns/fabrics, an
