Guest Post Series, with My Life in Polish. (Stamping)

Today, I welcome Sara from My Life in Polish to the blog. I am a fairly new follower of her blog, but I was immediately impressed with her swatches, and layering choices. Be sure to head over to her blog, and show her some love!

Thank you Sara, for sharing your pretty creation with us! I think it's so classy looking!

Hi Everyone!  I'm Sara from My Life in Polish.  I'm so excited to be posting here today.  Today I have a subtle stamping mani for you.  I started with two coats of Barielle Decadence, teal perfection in a bottle.  Then I added one coat of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Ice Pop so it had some sparkle.  Since I can't leave well enough alone I stamped a swirly pattern using Zoya Ziv.  

Ziv stamped surprisingly well.  I really hope you all enjoyed this mani.  Big thanks to Pam for having me today.  I hope you all have an amazing day!

Sara

Guest Post Series, with Chameleon Stampede

Here are are at a Monday... again. For me, this Monday has always marked the beginning of the end of summer because here in Canada the kids go back to school the day after Labour day. It's always a fun week, because we head to our cottage on Pelee Island for a week of relaxation with the family, but it's also a sad week because we know the relaxed vibe of summer is coming to an end.

In my absence this week, you will no doubt enjoy these colourful creations by Mandy, of Chameleon Stampede. Mandy always has a variety of different looks, to suit just about anyone's tastes. From indies, to  mainstream, from stamping to nail art, she will show you something fun. She also has tutorials, comparisons, and other random beauty related posts.

Hello everyone!  <waves>

I'm so excited to do a guest post today for the amazing Pam!  My name is Mandy and I have a blog called Chameleon Stampede www.ChameleonStampede.blogspot.com  I wanted to do something special, so I decided to give one stroke flowers another try.  One stroke mani's always look special to me.  I also turned to my jewelry for color inspiration.

The base of this mani is 2 coats of China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On.  It's one of those perfect spring/summer mint colors with some added shimmer and it's got the best name! 

I really like tone on tone designs because they are subtle and bold somehow at the same time.  I made these green petals that don't really resemble any particular flower, but they're still fun.  I added some yellow to make them stand out and add depth.

I love how my thumb turned out!  It looks the best… maybe because it was the last nail I did and I had a bit of practice at that point.

Here's a quick pick of my bracelets in case you want to see them.  This pattern was a pain in the butt, but they turned out ok.  I always notice the mistakes, but I think we all have a bad habit of doing that with our own work.

I hope you like my mani and that you'll join me soon in the CHAMELEON STAMPEDE!

Thanks again for having me Pam!

Thanks and love!

-Mandy

Guest Post Series, with Captivating Claws - Camo Watermarble

Today I am excited to be able to once again share with you, a post by a guest blogger that I have known from the beginning. Jodi from Captivating Claws ordered some polishes from the first Girly Bits launch (which by the way has an anniversary coming up!!) Her order was number 22 from the Sea's the Day Collection, so I thought it was fitting that this posted on the 22nd. Jodi's order was for  Denim Diva, Razzle Dazzle and  Stormy Skies (original version)
Jodi has become well known for her watermarbles, and I recall THIS ONE from about a year ago or so that made me a forever fan of them.
Thank you Jodi, for gracing our page with your beautiful creations.

Hey Everyone..  I'm Jodi from Captivating Claws..  I was so excited when Pam asked me to create a guest post for her blog.  I've "known" Pam for a while now.. We met in a polish group on Facebook and it's been really great watching her huge success with Girly Bits!!

I've had a crazy summer and haven't had much time for nail art, but for this post, I decided on a water marble.  I used to do them about once a week, but I just haven't had the time lately.  For this "Camo Marble" I used three new Zoyas from The Cashmeres Collection for Fall.. Flynn, Hunter, and Louise..

I started with a base coat of Flynn (nude) and marbled with Flynn, Hunter (green) and Louise (dark brown).  Zoyas cremes are always a bit thick, so this marble wasn't that easy for me.  The colors didn't spread easily in the water and I had a problem with water bubbles, but ultimately, I really like this marble.  I topped it off with China Glaze Fast Forward topcoat.

Thanks to Pam for inviting me to be a part of all the guest posts she's been hosting lately.. It was fun!! :)

Hiya!! I am so happy to have Marisa from POLISH OBSESSION on the blog today. I have followed her blog for a long time, and she is a long time customer of Girly Bits, so it's perfect that she is here today to share her creations with all of you. Marisa always has a wide variety of colours and textures on her blog, and had quite an assortment of Indies, so she is a good reference point if you are looking. She is also quite active on TWITTER, so be sure and check her out!

Thank you Marisa, for sharing with us today, and especially for choosing things close to my heart.

♥Pam♥

Hi fellow nail polish lovers!!

My name is Marisa and I'm the writer of Polish Obsession.  I'm so happy to have the opportunity to do a guest post for Pam.  I'm a huge fan of her polishes and I've been a blog follower for a long time, so I'm truly honored.

For this post, I wanted to do something really fun, so I grabbed Razzle Dazzle, one of my favorite Girly Bits polishes.  Here's what I came up with.

Artificial Light

Index finger: Sally Hansen Fuchsia Power with polka dots using Nicole by OPI I'm a Belieber and Girly Bits Razzle Dazzle
Middle: Orly Au Champagne as a base with I'm A Belieber and Fuchsia Power using a fan brush
Ring: Tape mani (using striping tape) with Razzle Dazzle and I'm a Belieber
Pinky: Three coats of Razzle Dazzle on its own.

Artificial Light

Natural Light

I'm a huge lover of pink and purple together, so I really like how this mani turned out.  I decided to do the fan brush technique on my middle finger because it's something Pam really liked when I did a previous mani using the technique.

Thanks for reading!  I hope you guys liked seeing this mani.  Thanks for having me Pam!
