Hello everyone, and thank you Natalie for having me as a guest on your blog! I really appreciate the opportunity! 

I started really getting into nail polish about two years ago, when I stumbled upon Konad / nail stamping on other beauty blogs.  Then I googled Konad and I was amazed at what you can do with nail art!  After that, I started (obsessively) purchasing and collecting polishes and image plates.  Finally, I decided to start my own blog so that I can archive my art!  My blog is dedicated solely to nail art stamping, but there may be an occasional polish swatch. 

For today's manicure, this shower curtain was my inspiration.  I applied a base color (Zoya 'Kelly') on all nails besides my pinky.  For my pinky, I applied China Glaze 'Dandy Lyin' Around', then applied Zoya 'Kelly' over half my nail, and then China Glaze 'Kinetic Candy' over 1/4 of my nail.  I then applied silver striping tape where the colors meet.  I then used Nailz Craze plate NC01 to stamp the dandelion on my other nails. On my ring finger, I applied one silver hexagon glitter.

From L to R: Zoya 'Kelly', China Glaze 'Dandy Lyin' Around', China Glaze 'Kinetic Candy'

From L to R:  Konad Special Polish in Pastel Blue, Konad Special Polish in White, MoYou Special Polish in Black

For today's guest post I'm happy to have the awesome Sophie from My Awesome Beauty blog that you probably all know. Sophie's blog was one of the first blogs I've followed and she really inspired me. Looking at her perfect manicures and swatches made me finally start my own blog a while back ago, and I'm so happy I did! Not only Sophie is a great blogger and nail artist, but she's also super creative and a talented photographer, she makes really cool and easy-to-make tutorials and have I told you she has won the BeautyBlogger of the year award? If you haven't seen her blog yet, now is the time!

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much Natalie for giving me this opportunity. You have a wonderful blog and I love getting to be a part of it. :)

When I started my blog a little over a year ago, I set out to be known for something within the nail world. The first couple of months was just swatching and trying to find "my" photography style, but then I discovered striping tape.

In a matter of months I had made a whole ton of striping tape nail designs and that's what my blog got known for. The reason I like using striping tape instead of regular household tape is that you don't have to wait nearly as long because the striping tape is less sticky.

With this look, I started off with two coats of a while polish. After these two coats, I started hunting for my striping tape which I couldn't find anywhere. I looked and looked until I finally settled on using normal household tape. After 30 minutes, I cut a few pieces of tape off and used them on my hand a few times to unstickify (is that a word?) them and it it went fine. For the yellow color, I had to wait even longer, maybe 45 minutes or so. After I put the black color on, I had to wait 1,5 hours to even dare to try, and even then it got ruined! The tape brought up the color with it.

I got SO annoyed and started hunting for my striping tape again. After the whole apartment was upside down, I found it in my nail design-equipment drawer. Sigh.

I removed the whole thing and started over. It took me 1 hour in total and I was done. Ai ai, striping tape, how I love you.

I would love to see you all visit me over at my blog, My Awesome Beauty, some day, and thank you again for this opportunity, Natalie.

Awesome Sophie

Today's guest post is made by the very talented and creative lady from the Drama Queen Nails blog. I find this post to be very unique and super creative, actually it really enlightened me and gave me a different perspective on my nail polish obsession. Hope you will enjoy this great post as I did!

Nail Craze or Crazy Obsession?

Craze: An enthusiasm for a particular activity or object that typically achieves widespread but short-lived popularity.

Is DIY Nail Art destined to be just a phase or is it a form of true artistic expression that will continue to evolve into popular culture? With more stamping plates, polishes, decals, and techniques being developed every day, could this turn some of us from enthusiastic collectors into crazy obsessives? I say yes and I wonder if some day there will be girls sitting in their psychologist’s office discussing their inability to stop buying nail polish. I had visions of solemn men flashing up ink blot cards and asking these women to reveal their inner secrets in order to be cured from their polish addictions. And from there came this idea for Rorschach or ink blot nails. Read on for a glimpse into the mind of a nail crazed Drama Queen……

So are you wondering right now if you might be a little nail crazed? There is a strong possibility that I am, but thankfully I think my crazy obsession isn’t fully blown and you won’t find me rocking back and forth in a psychologists office just yet. So that brings me to ask you, what do you see in the ink blots?

Today's guest post is made by the lovely Didoline from Didoline's Nails blog, who's nail art is always so creative and beautiful. If you haven't see her amazing real sweater nails yet, head over to this post and see her stunning design made with flocking powder and the sweater stamp. You can find many other beautiful design at her blog, she's definitely one of my favorites blogs that I follow.

Hope you will enjoy the lovely post Didoline made for you and be sure to follow her blog! ;)

Love is in the air

Hey girls!!
A few weeks ago, Natalie asked me if I'd like to do a guest post for her. I was so thrilled!
As Valentine's day is fast approaching, I decided to do something on this theme. I used two of Natalie's amazing plates : the NC01 and the brand new NC04.
I applied two coats of Halo-Graphic, a gorgeous pink holo by Color Club and painted my ring finger in black. I worked with all of the heart shaped designs of both of the plates and here's the result:

As usual, the quality of the plates is amazing!!
What will you wear on your nails for Valentine's Day?
I hope you'll enjoy my stamping :)

With Love,
didoline <3

The Unicorn and the Rainbow

Hello everyone!

In this post I`ll show you one beautiful and easy to make decoration, using Nailz Craze NC 02 stamping plate.

The polishes I used are CND- Midnight Sapphire and Pefcect Holographic H4.  Both polishes are in only one coat! The same polishes used and for the stampings, only opposite to each other. Covered with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Hope you like it! :)
