Guest Post: Manicurator

Today is the last guest post, since I'm on my way back home tomorrow.  Since I'm writing this in advance, I'll say that I hope I've had a fantastic time and that everything went well, but I'll write up a post (maybe include some travel pictures) when I get back home and settled! 

Now on to what you'e all come here for; today's guest post comes to us from Victoria, though you may know her better as the Manicurator!  Take a look at what she's created!  :)

I'm great at "planning ahead" but not so good (ok, terrible) at "doing ahead". So when Emma asked me to guest post I felt like I had all the time in the world. And then blammo, it's due tomorrow (ok, today). So I needed something that could be done relatively quickly but isn't boring. I also knew I wanted to incorporate some of my untrieds. So this is what I came up with. 

I applied two coats of Nicole by OPI Please Red-cycle, which is new for Spring 2013. Once it was dry I used striping tape to block off the middle and dabbed on 1-2 coats of Nicole by OPI Luke of the Draw from their Modern Family collection. I hadn't tried either of these before and was quite pleased with them. The red has such a nice formula..which I greatly appreciated as I was coffee jittery and in a hurry. Not a good pair :P Once I peeled the tape off I used a dotting tool to lift and place my loose glitter squares which I purchased from Etsy. Top coat with Seche and done! WOO! 

I'm honored to be able to contribute a post for lovely and super talented Emma while she is out of town exploring the world and achieving her goals. Best of luck to you and HAVE FUN!!  :)

This wraps up my series of guest posts; a huge thank you to all the talented bloggers who have helped me with guest posts during my trip, everyone has gone above and beyond!  I'll be back within a few days with my own post about my trip, and hopefully get back to regular posting very soon!!  :)
