Guest Post on stuff i (s)watched!

Hi everyone!! Sorry I haven't been around in a few weeks, things have been pretty crazy lately. I was slammed with end-of-semester work and then hubby and I finally found a new home so we are getting ready to sell our current home and move! Exciting stuff! I'll be posting a new blog sale very soon to help weed through my stash before we move so stay tuned for that =D

Anyways, the real reason why I'm here today is to let you guys know that I did a guest post for my girl Rach over at stuff i (s)watched that is up today!! Rach's blog is one of my favorites, she always has such awesome swatches and fun anecdotes about her life and things that she loves. I had so much fun doing the post so I hope you all head on over to her blog and check it out!

Guest Post from Amanda at Nail Polish Enthusiast

HI MY LOVELY READERS! So sorry for being so MIA lately, I have been a busy little bird. Lots of family events going on lately, plus school starting up again and lots of other fun things, so I apologize for my absence.

Anyways, my lovely friend Amanda from Nail Polish Enthusiast offered to do a guest post for me today. Amanda has come to be a great friend of mine through the lovely Twitter nail blogging community, so I am pleased to have her here today! Don't forget to check out her blog =)

Hi ladies, Amanda here! It is my pleasure today to post for Jacqui! She's such a great person and when she said she was struggling to have time to blog, I knew I could step in! I had the opportunity to swatch for you one of Lynnderella's beauties, courtesy of Erin. Erin and I did a group order in hopes of meeting up since we're less than a state apart, but our schedules wouldn't work out :( She told me I could swatch hers before I sent them off to her, so I gladly partook and did a quick gradient swatch of Mercury's Rainbow before I ship them off to her :)

I started off with Maybelline Matte Gray before adding Mercury's Rainbow to the tips of my nails and using Orly Smudge Fixer to create the gradient. Then, I added top coat to make it shiny and voila! Instant glitter gratification.

Gratuitious bottle shot



Ooooh, pretty... you know, besides the smudges of gray on my pinky's cuticle and my cuticles being a hot, dry mess...anyway....





Since my nails were small to work with, I did the gradient on my thumb which showed it much better!

 

Mercury's Rainbow is a beauty!I'm not sure I'd recommend it for gradients in the future unless your nails are longer than mine, since the swatch just kind of looks like I applied it regularly! Erin is a generous gal to allow me to swatch this before sending it off to her :) Thanks sweetie! Also big thanks to Jacqui for featuring me today!

xoxo,

Amanda

Thanks Amanda!!! This mani is absolutely gorgeous, and I think it was so brilliant of her to use a smudge fixer as a gradient medium. I'm going to have to try that trick one day!

See you all soon!!
