Guest Blogger Post By Nail Luxxe Striping Mani

Hi everyone!

I'm super excited to be guest blogging here today!  Ever since I discovered Life in Lacquer, I was smitten.  What I love most about Jade's designs, is that she is constantly inspired by everything around her and manages to come up with fresh new looks all the time.  So I had to put my thinking cap on when it came to this manicure!

Today's nails were inspired by three things: a pin that I had seen on Pinterest which used similar colours, a recent manicure I did which used two unequal sections of nail colour and my favourite nail accessory - striping tape!

First I applied two coats of Raspberry over a base coat.  Then when that was dry I painted a horizontal line across each nail at varying lengths and filled it in with Slate by Beauty UK. To tie the whole look together I added a piece of gold striping tape where the two colours met and finished with a top coat.

Hope you guys like it!

My First Post, Ever!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I have never done this before so please be patient.

I am a qualified nail tech and love trying new products and I just love being creative. I search a lot online for info and swatches before I buy products and after finding myself at a loss with what to do when my two little uns are in bed I thought I'd jump on the blogging wagon and show you guys some of my nail art, swatches and reviews on products in the nail biz.

I am as I said qualified as a nail tech and was until about 7 months ago taking a few clients in my home of an evening, but after having a second child my little business empire has been put on hold, so I suppose this is just another creative outlet so I don't go mad! :)

I hope you all enjoy my work and my ramblings and if you have any questions or requests just drop me a line.

:)
