My Guest Post Over A: Clothes, Cosmetics and Chat

Hi all. Check out my guest post over at Clothes, Cosmetics and Chat. Laura is currently really busy studying for her exams and asked it I would like to guest post for her :)

I decided to go for something soft and with a "shabby chic" feel. Essie Navigate Her reminds me of just that!

    Looks great! How do you do the roses? Is there a chance you can explain it for us clumsy nail addicts? That would be sweet :)

      Roses are pretty easy actually! Even for someone like me who is "freehand challanged"! Lol! Literally just use a dotting tool or a toothpick to blob a little bit of red or pink on the nail (doesn't have to be a perfect dot as roses aren't perfectly round), then with a lighter pink polish, use the same dotting tool or a very thin nail art brush if you have one and draw small uneven lines through your dots to create the petals! This is how I do mine but there are lots of girls on YouTube that do it differently so check out some of those videos :)

    That is just beautiful, Vanessa!
    I love that shade of green, and the roses would have been enough, but no... you carefully (and creativetly) added white stripes, and it all looks so perfect, I love it!
    Would you mind if I did that exact mani someday?

    I would love some border in my bathroom that looks like that accent nail. I love it.
