Guest Post By Beltane Secrets


Hello!

I am Virginie of Beltane Secret. It is an honor for me to present to you an article here at a nail blogger I greatly admire!

Today I present a fairly simple nail art to make, very random, which just takes a little time.

Guest Post by Pobbynails!


Hello folks! 

This is Priscilla from pobbynails! A few weeks ago, I saw Lothwen's post on a Facebook nail community that she's looking for guest bloggers! So I contacted her and I made a new friend :). For a week or so I was wondering what to blog about. Wanted to do some swatches, but reckoned that it may be too plain. & snapped! What about a simple pictorial! :D So here we go!

Guest Post by Nail Art Novice - Mani Swap!

Hello Manis and Makeovers readers!

My name is Jenni and I blog over at http://nailartnovice.blogspot.co.uk/. I want to say a big thank you to Lothwen for having me on her blog-we both needed guest posters for June so we decided to swap posts for each other! We chose to do a mani swap and the one of Lothwen's that I chose was the spotty one from this post because I thought it was really cool. I did mix up the colours a little though-I'm really not a pink kinda gal!

I used all Barry M polishes, mostly from the Gelly line, which I love! So many fab colours and brilliant coverage. I used (from thumb to little finger on my left hand): Mango, Satsuma, Prickly Pear, Plum, Key Lime, Watermelon, Greenberry, Guava, Elderberry and Damson plus Matt White.

Here's what I ended up with!

Guest Post by Narmai from PiggieLuv.com


Hey lovelies!


I have another guest post for you today! This one is from my fellow Dutchie Narmai from the fabulous PiggieLuv.com nail art page. She created something that is totally me: neon and stars... I love it! Thank you Narmai :)
Hi ladies! My name is Narmai and I'm so excited to guest post here on Manis and Makeovers!!! For today's post, I made a neon tape mani. I used two brandless neon polishes to create a gradient first. Then I applied tape from one side of the nail to the other, in a diagonal line. I painted Picture Polish black on top of that, and then quickly removed the tape before the polish dried. This is what makes the cool, clean lines.
You can now play with your stripes! Fill up the neon lines with black wherever you want, you can create cool patterns this way! I chose to apply little star glitters afterwards, making it look like falling stars.
I hope you like this design! Thanks so much hon, for giving me a chance to spam your readers!!!

#RedCoatTuesday: Pretty Little Daisies


Hello lovelies!

For today's #RedCoatTuesday, on which we celebrate the mere existence of Pretty Little Liars (because it's frickin' awesome), I chose a raspberry red nail polish from Catrice, called "Raspberry Fields Forever", one of my untrieds. I don't know why I have never tried it before, I mean look at it, it's amazing and I knew it would be when I first saw it in store. Anywayz, I decided to go for a happy mani with little daisies, because I was in the mood for happy nails:

1st Guest Post from Southern Sparkle Nail Art


Dear lovelies,

I'm very busy at the moment, working full time and now I have taken it upon me to also graduate from uni, since I had not done that yet. So as I'm writing my thesis, other lovely people will guest post on my behalf. Here's the first guest and she's my Twin Bestie, Samantha! Yes you read that correctly, the FIRST post! Since I do not have time to do twinsies with her, she has taken it upon herself to write 2 posts, in order to keep my blog going. She's the sweetest <3


Hello Lacquer Lovers!

While Lothwen studies, it's up to her buddies! Haha. It's me, Samantha, from Southern Sparkle Nail Art. Today I have an easy nail art look for you. If you spend an extra minute on a one color mani, you can achieve this super chic look!

World Cup 2014: Brasil!


Hello lovelies!

Many things are inspired by the World Cup these days, even our big corporate event! So it seemed only fitting that I were to get into the brazilian spirit as well and I happen to channel that through my nails, so here goes:
