Guestblogger - Camilla from Bookpolish

Hi guys... I hope everything's OK with you... Today I have another guestblogger for you. It is Camilla from Bookpolish!!! She has the most gorgeous nails and lovely photos... Let's see what she prepared for us...


"Hi everyone! I’m Camilla from Bookpolish and I’m here to entertain you, while Aylin is off putting her shades on and her feet up. Today, I aim to give you a bossy-looking manicure that you can wave around at the beach, ordering margaritas, and a great summer-read that will have you peeing yourself with laughter and snorting that margarita out your nose if you’re not careful!
First off. The manicure. I used two coats of a Thai brand - Dodwell - in a grassy green shade as a base, and on top, to make it really pop and scream, I used Nfu Oh 056 - a green/blue jelly flakie. Unfortunately, here in Sweden we’re having our usual rainy June, and while the sun made a very brief appearance when I did my base color, it was long gone by the time I was ready to shoot the pics of the finished mani. You have to IMAGINE the crazy sparkle in the sun. And the margaritas. And the beach. Or, wait!! You have the sun and the beach in Turkey!! I am green with envy.










Now - what to grab for said beach? Well, my favourite allt-time beach-read is Carl Hiaasen! His crime novels are always funny, and their common denominators are that they take place in Florida, they have characters from all walks of life and at the center of each book is a care for the environment. Sick Puppy is his very best one, I think, and in this one you get to meet “dog-napping eco-terrorists, singing toads, a Republicans-only hooker... and a notorious ex-governor”. Enjoy your summer, ladies!"



Hope you like it, Aylin!
Have a wonderful vacation:)

Camilla

Thank you Camilla, that's a great post. And a wonderful mani... You really made me snort!!! :)

HITS Zeus

I started going through my stash and found lots of untrieds... HITS Zeus was one of them... Shame on me for not trying this before!!!!

I had 2 coats over a base coat. I thought it was enough but obviously, it needed another coat...

I used star shapes from my different plates and came up with this mani...

Shiny, isn't it???

Guestblogger - Karin from Vacker & Underbar

Hi ladies... By the time you're reading this; I'll be diving to the deep blue Aegean Sea... LOL 

I have prepared some posts for you and I will have guest bloggers as well... So, we'll keep this blog up and running untill I return, thanks to friends...

Today I have my first guest blogger for you... It is Karin from Vacker & Underbar... She has a lovely blog and she accepted to do a guest post for my lovely readers... 

Here's what she wrote...



Hello all lovely readers of Posh Nail Art. My name is Karin, I write the Swedish blog Vacker & Underbar (Beautiful & Lovely - http://vackerunderbar.se), which not only contains lots of daily manicures but also make up, beauty and big amounts of pictures of my two cats. 


Aylin asked me on Facebook if I wanted to guestblog, and this is my contribution. This is China Glaze - It's a Trap-Eze! from the Circue du Solei-collection. This polish is loaded with glitter in a lot of different colors, but the base is white. I decided to use Nubar White Tip first, instead of a lot of layers of China Glaze. This is only one layer of it China Glaze, I think the white base would cover the glitter to much other wise.









It is a bit tricky to get even thou, the glitter does not want to be evenly distrubuted so I had to use the brush to get them out on the nail. 

I love this explosion of colors, even if I seldom use glitter polish other wise. I find them to hard to remove. 

Please visit my blog for other manicures! You will find me a http://vackerunderbar.se, you can easily translate it via Google Translate.
