Guest Post: Nailed It

I'm spending the day in Zurich today, and tomorrow I'm off to Paris!!  Today's guest post comes from a blogger who's nail art I constantly oogle over and draw inspiration from, the lovely Katy from Nailed It! :)

While Emma dances her way into the big leagues, she’s asked some bloggers to fill Globe & Nail with some content.

My name’s Katy, and I blog at Nailed It. Emma actually helped me by doing a guest post during one of my vacations in December. I’m excited to return the favor and get to meet some new readers!

Nailed It focuses primarily on nail art. While I do swatches and reviews, they’re always accompanied by some unique nail art. In keeping with that theme, I’ve got some fabric-inspired nail art to share today.

This look was inspired by a pin I’d saved from Spoonflower.com, a custom fabric site. I loved the colors (yellow’s my favorite) and the design was really fun to recreate.

I started with a base of My Boyfriend Scales Walls (OPI). Then I free-handed some little arrows in varying sizes and depths using Black Onyx (OPI) and some tape. After that all had time to dry, I taped off small strips on my nails and did a quick swipe of the jelly-licious Abbacadazzle (Sation). This thin yellow jelly worked perfectly for the effect, wouldn’t you agree? You can try similar looks with any color of jelly polish, but I love the way the yellow pops. As I mentioned, it’s my favorite.

Thanks for tuning in to Globe & Nail today to see Nailed It! You can follow Nailed It the blog, or check in on me through Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, OR Google+. Whew! Social media’s exhausting!

Best of luck in your auditions Emma, and thanks again for having me at Globe & Nail!
