Mani Swap with The_Polished_Girl

I love a good mani swap! Mostly because it helps me to flex my artistic skills, which are sorely lacking atm, and forces me to stick to a deadline, which always brings the best outta me. So anyway, check out The_Polished_Girl on Instagram for her individual photo. She's using her take on my mani as her new display picture, aww! 


Her recreation if of my lace nails from a few months ago, using Wah! London "The Blue Room" and Barry M "White", with that strong ass basecoat of course. Hers is much neater than mine and looks better on her longer nails, I love it! 

Here's an individual shot of my interpretation:


It's neither the best photo nor the best mani I've ever done, which I'm sad about but not too sad. Practice is practice! I used: QUO by Orly "Mega Orange", over NYC "Pure Air". Because I didn't have an exact metallic orange like that, I decided to combine colours and think these two work really well together! Then the black is just Sharpie, which I love to use for nail art but is also why it came out quite dotty. I still haven't mastered the perfect straight line either...

Self criticism is my jam, by the way. Anyway, hope you're all having a nice day!
