Guest Post by Colour Coated: Fish Scale Nails

Please enjoy this guest post by my friend Jasmine from Colour Coated!

Hey Peeps!

First off I have to say that I'm beyond excited to be doing this guest post for Kellie! I'm pretty sure that I've spent hours drooling over pictures of her gorgeous nails, so I felt totally honored (and a little nervous...ok, a lot nervous) when she asked me to do it.

After spending time debating with myself about what I'd choose to post, I decided to do something fun and colorful. I'm severely limited when it comes to doing nail art, but my nifty little dotting tool is like a magic wand that makes it look like I have a little bit of skill, so I decided to bust it out.

My inspiration was a book that I read in elementary school called The Rainbow Fish. I was always obsessed with the cover of the book because the fish on it has some awesome holo/glitter scales. Check it out:

To try to recreate the look of the rainbow fish I painted my nails with 2 coats of Orly Snowcone, then I dotted on OPI Jade is The New Black, NOPI Midnight Snowfall, Jesse's Girl Wild Thing, Zoya Breezi, and Nfu Oh 61 (for the holo scales of course!). Peep it:

So what do you guys think? Do you see the resemblance?

I hope you guys like this mani, and a million thanks to Kellie for being so lovely and letting me share it with all of you! :)

I love this dainty dotty nail art! I fail at most nail art but this looks like something even I could pull off! Thanks so much for sharing Jasmine!

fishies and poll

i love animals but right now the only one i can really commit to being able to care for (with my crazy busy life and living situation) is fish. and they're not even really mine haha. these little guys are my co-workers' and mine that sit on our desks at work. meet the earl of manchester julian salinger (the orange fat one) and duchess santigold jolene gaga (the white & orange petite one). we call them jules and jolene :)
i have a bunch of polish swatches to show you, like a billion!! just wondering, which do you guys prefer, long picture heavy posts with a lot of different polishes or single posts with one or two polishes being featured? please take a minute to answer the poll if you would ♥
