Guest post: Elizabeth of Did My Nails

Today another floral nail art lover is sharing her beautiful manicure, Elizabeth of Did My Nails was sweet enough to help me out with a guest post!

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, from didmynails.com, and I am so excited to be pitching in while Lisa is away! When I started thinking about what to do for this post I really wanted to come up with something new and awesome, something cool I hadn't done before, but the more I thought about it, the more I kept veering back into familiar waters until I landed on the two things I probably love most in all of polish: flower nail art and a minty teal.

These sketchy roses are acrylic paint over the beautiful butter LONDON Poole. Minty teal polishes like this are sirens, tempting me all seductive-like, and I am powerless to resist. Soon as I hit multiple Helmers they got a drawer all their own, and I still have a good dozen or so in the Big Box o' Untrieds. I keep telling myself I'm buying "just this one more" to do a really huge comparison post, but it's time I faced reality. I'm really just trying to hoard enough of them to stash in a giant vault all by themselves and go for a big, Scrooge McDuck-y swim.

My polish addiction actually started with the Godmother of the Tiffany Blues, China Glaze For Audrey. That was the very first polish I saw online and ZOMG! NEEDED to go out and find. And it's no coincidence that the first post on my blog was some cherry blossoms on For Audrey because that was the combination, the popular nail art design that rocked my world, that got me watching tutorial after tutorial on YouTube in the hopes of one day just maybe being able to make a thing on my nails that looked like an actual flower-type thing. That was over two years ago, and the habit is pretty much ingrained now. Every time I wear one of these minty, Tiffany teals it's only a matter of time before I haul out the acrylic paints or the polishes and add some sort of flower nail art on top.

I did a similar design not long ago that was outlined in black, but I like the way these turned out with the brown outlines too. It's softer, and I think it suits the other colours here. I'm also...ugh, I literally just groaned out loud because the next words were about to be "I'm also wild about"...I'm also loving my new matte top coat, Wet n Wild 'Wild Shine' Matte. It goes on smoothly and gives a great, matte finish for a dollar, y'all. A DOLLAR.

So yeah, that's probably just about enough of my rambling. Thanks for reading, and thanks very much to Lisa for having me! (^_^)
