piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2013 - Year of the Blogger

Hello lovelies,

I am so proud to tell you that I'm one of the chosen bloggers participating in piCture pOlish Blog Fest 2013! I've missed out on the last year one as I didn't know what it was until blogger's posts started to appear. Last year, 80 bloggers posted swatches of two PP shades on the same day but this year the 'rules' are different.

I've been sent three shades (Heavy Metal, Vegas and Bombshell) and I was asked to create my most awesome nail art using these three shades.That is a big challenge because I've done a lot of nail art over the years and I don't know if this is truly the best nail art I've done. Let's have a look...

I've tried to recreate Mehndi designs that I often see done in henna tattoo. I've always loved the intricate flower designs so I gave it a shot myself. I have started off with a white base and then painted the patterns with Pictures Polish Heavy Metal, Vegas and Bombshell.

We were supposed to do a tutorial as well but since I didn't know if this design will lead somewhere and if I'll even use it I didn't do one. Oh silly me! Anyway, I've basically always started to paint from the side of the nail outwards, changing the colours. Here is a tutorial on how to do the thumb pattern I like the most (sorry for the quality, this is the first time I've tried this kind of tutorial):

You can check out piCture pOlish products at their On-line Store and follow them at their Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram. You might also find handy the following pages: Shipping, Network and Everyday Deals.

Well, it's been an honour to be one of this year bloggers participating in piCture pOlish Blog Fest and I hope you've enjoyed this nail art. If you have then please visit piCture pOlish's website and give me your vote!

Uuum...not signed up or familiar with overblog...I see Discquis mostly out there - that and then WP of course...those are ones I am logged in with. I keep getting viruses when I use a lot of others so am iffy about signing up for overblog...but hate to be a guest. Thought you used to use Discus.

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 08/01/2013 23:24

I haven't used Disqus, no. Before I was just using Blogger commenting system
