Guest Post from Zebra Nails

Hey dolls! I have another guest post for you today! I invited Irina to post for you all, and was thrilled when she agreed, because I am always in awe of her gorgeous swatches and nail art!

Hello dear readers of NailsLikeLace!

I am Irina from zebra-nails blog and I am very happy to be here today! I love Amber's manicures and it's an honor to show my nails on her blog :-).

Today I'll show you a cloud manicure. For this manicure I used blue nail polish - Golden Rose Color Expert #47 and white nail polish - Ados #502. I made clouds with a dotting tool and finished my manicure with a layer of top coat.

Twinsie Tuesday - Cloud Mani

It is Tuesday again and you know what that means! Twinsie Tuesday time!

This week, I actually did two manis. I started out with one, different colors on each nail, but ended up loving one combo and just doing them all that way instead. 

When I think "cloud mani", I think of the type of look I did for today, rather than actual puffy white clouds painted on your nails.

Twinsie Tuesday - Weather Inspired

I've always wanted to try lighting bolt nails, so when a Twinsie Tuesday came around with a weather theme, I figured it was the perfect opportunity!

Seven Deadly Sins Series - Greed

The first theme of Greed week for the Seven Deadly Sins Series is to "go wild and use your most expensive and precious polish".

That was a close one for me because I have one Illamasqua, retailing for $14 USD and one butter LONDON worth $15 USD.

I decided to just use both Illamasqua Phallic and butter LONDON Marrow to create a cloud mani. I wanted each layer to be outlined in white, though, so I put down a cloud of China Glaze White on White before each color.

Another polish I consider to be precious is Leprechaun Farts from 365 Days of Color. I love it because it is LE, has a wonderful name, and is a beautiful glitter that looks great paired with anything. Plus it was my first indie purchase. So I added a very thin coat of it to finish my nails off!

St. Patrick's Day Mani - Green & Gold Cloud Nails

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I added another layer to the cloud mani I showed you yesterday to wear as a St. Patty's Day mani.
