Hello darlings!
My name is Marisa and I blog over at Hey, Darling Polish! My blog is made up of mostly bright and quirky nail art with some indie polish swatches thrown in the mix. I saw that Katherine was looking for some guest posters while she deals with real life now and I love being to help people out, so here I am writing a post for you guys!
Let’s get to the nails!
Here’s what I used:
Today’s nails are kind of special because I decided to recreate a pattern that Katherine painted a while back that she said I inspired her to try. I think that my favorite part of blogging is getting to interact with others who also love nail polish and I’m always sort of taken back when someone says that I inspired them. So, these nails are for you Katherine! I remember that I was so happy when I read her post and looking at it now, I’m still smiling (:
These nails started with two coats of Natty and a layer of Glossy Glam. When that had dried, I used my orange acrylic paint and detail brush to paint on the octopus. I then went back in with my black paint to add the smaller details. Everything was cleaned up and sealed in with another layer of Glossy Glam.
I thought these nails were so fun and a lot of my classmates liked my little “octopus friends” haha. Thank you Katherine for finally motivating me to try painting this pattern and allowing me to guest post for you!
-Marisa! (:
From Katherine: I love these so much and the sentiment behind them was so sweet! Marisa always inspires me to think of gorgeous freehand patterns since she does them so well, even if I don’t do them as often as I would like to. Thank you so much, Marisa! This post means a lot to me. 🙂 If you’re looking for inspiration and lovely nails make sure to check out Hey, Darling Polish! on facebook, instagram and twitter!
