Hey everyone! 

I am so excited to say that one of my favourite bloggers is here with us today with a guest post!

Hello everyone! I am very pleased and honoured that Rachael was willing to put one of my manicure on her blog, and I hope you will appreciate it ^^. So, pokémon nail art is my big speciality and with halloween coming soon, I really wanted to draw gengar! This pokémon is super funny and scary at the same time, so I really love it! For the background colour, I used a franken that I just created and that I called "gengar's puke". It is a teal/purple duochrome that I applied on a black base. Since the colours matched the ozotic 528, I decided to apply a layer of my ozotic, to give a more "sparkly" look. I drew gengars on my thumb and ring finger, and scary faces on the other nails. 

 

Wait, you can't see the scary faces? I'll switch the light off...

Boo! 

I hope you were not too scared :p

I really hope you liked this manicure, and most importantly: Happy Halloween everyone!!

Thank you again my lovely for your beautiful guest post for while I am away! I am over the moon, especially with a 2 in 1 Halloween and my favourite pokémon ever all in one manicure! Look at his grin glowing in the dark!! Yay! <3

Good morning everyone!

I have another beautiful guest post today - this time from the wonderful Jade from Life in Lacquer. I have read Jade's blog for a long time and I am sure you will agree on just how beautiful her nails are!

------------------------------------------------------

Hello there nail lovers!

I’m Jade popping over from Life in Lacquer to write a guest post for you whilst Rach is off on her holidays, the lucky girl!

I have a simple hand painted nail art today. I used a tiny brush and three different colours. I love pastels and now it’s getting darker and colder outside I wanted to crack these out one last time!

I used China Glaze Aquadelic, Color Club Wicker Park and BarryM Gelly Blueberry.

I just have to say that the BarryM Blueberry smelt funky and not the James Brown good kind of funky either. I have no idea why but I can’t remember the other Gelly polishes smelling like this? Has anyone else noticed?

Thanks for having me today and I hope you liked my design!

Good morning all!

After a good few years of having no holidays, I am finally getting myself a way for a week. So while I am away, I am leaving you in the very capable hands of some guest bloggers who have offered to entertain you!

First up is a fantastic blogger, another Rachel (Best name ever. Fact.) from Monkey Nails <3 After seeing her photos, I just had to leave you with her post first as its getting me excited for the beautiful blue waters of Majorca!

------------------------------------------------------

Hi there! When I said I'd do a guest post for Racho's Nail Love there was no contest what it was going to be about - my name is also Rachel, and one of the meanings of the name is ewe - that is, a female sheep. I got started on my sheep nails and there was going to be green glitter and googly eyes... then I left all my nail gear at my partner's house when I came home and I found myself with a problem. No googly eyes, no paintbrushes and no nail polish, not even a base coat. So I got inventive! What I did have was a whole bunch of new polishes that had just arrived in the posts from Nails Inc and Tara's Talons. I also found some PVA glue, a blunted pencil and some cotton buds. So here's what I came up with:

I used the PVA glue as a base coat. I applied it just before a long drive so by the time I got home it was totally dry! Then I applied three coats of Reef by Tara's Talons. I'm loving this dreamy blue polish - it reminds me of looking into a pond - there are bits of gold and green glitter in it and the slightly sheer finish means you feel like you're looking right the way to the bottom. I added dots of Tara's Talons Champagne and Nails Inc Mornington Crescent with the tip of the blunt pencil. (The more blunt the pencil is, the bigger the dots will be!) This look reminds me of paintings of water lilies by Monet. Did you know that Water Lilies is actually a series of about 250 paintings, and not just one? I did not.

I removed a bit of the cotton from the tip of my cotton bud and dipped it in nail varnish remover. Using just a little bit of cotton and the blunt end of the cotton bud made it much easier to clean up around my cuticles. And the marvellous thing about PVA glue is that it all just peels off afterwards!

Of course, this means that when I get all my nail art stuff back I'm going to have to finish off my Rachael/Rachel inspired nails. But this is not exactly much of a chore!

Thanks to Rachael for having me and I hope to see some of you over at Monkey Nails!
