The Nail Art Guild theme The Sea

A couple of Instagramers have joined forces and formed the Nail Art Guild - once a month they so to say open the doors and invite anyone who wants to join to create a themed mani. Exactly one week ago was the day to post the first mani themed The Sea.  All those hours practicing my stamping skills and the couple of dozens of Skittelettes I have done gave me the courage to join. And frankly, I was really jittery when hitting the "share" button. I cannot tell you how encouraging the immediate supportive comment of my Instagram-friend @polishmad was - thank you tons for your wonderful words dear <3!

I decided to stay quite simple true to "less is more" and Girly Bits Perry-Twinkle was too beautiful to use on one nail only. Girly Bits Perry-Twinkle is another beauty that found its way to my home through Llarowe's A Box Indied. It is the most delicate shade of periwinkle blue with a vibrant strong linear holo.


 and just look at the gorgeousness of Girly Bits Perry-Twinkle:


Pinkie, middle, index: two coats Girly Bits Perry-Twinkle
Ring and thumb: one coat of A England Camelot, Essence white stamping polish, MoYou Sailor Collection 08 plate, dusted with NCLA Party Favorite, a clear based topper filled with iridescent glitter

Final thoughts: I am so exited to finally participate in a nailart challenge, having only one mani per month is totally doable - I wore this mani also as NOTD and got plenty of compliments, especially on my ring sporting a seahorse - one of my favorite animals by the way - isn't it über-cute?

Girly Bits Perry-Twinkle came in Llarowe's A Box Indied of April. I order my A England polishes either with Llarowe or Pshiiit Boutique. I get my NCLA polishes from Pshiiit Boutique as with some of my MoYou Stamping Plates (which you can also order from their own website).

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!
