Guest Post from A Girl and Her Polish

I have a pretty awesome guest post to share with you today. One of the blogs I follow frequently is A Girl and Her Polish, so I am thrilled that she has a beautiful step-by-step look for us!

Hello Everyone! Happy Holidays!

I am so happy to be guesting today!  Miss SLL has been someone that I have been following since I got into this crazy nail blogging world!  I felt very honored when she asked me to do a post for her!
On to the mani!

I wanted to do something really special for my post and I think I accomplished that.  This is a gradient/stamping design that kind of developed as I was working on it.  


I started with 2 coats of Zoya Suri, which is a pretty amazing purple.




I sort of skipped a step taking pictures, sorry!  I added 1 coat of Zoya Aurora and the my first gradient color Zoya Storm.  I didn’t do anything special with the application, just used the brush and added a few strokes.





Next I added Zoya Blaze, with the same application.





I thought that the design needed something to bring it all together, so I added a stamp.  I used Zoya Monica and one of my GALS plates, GA6.  It adds a really nice subtle touch that ties everything together.  

And I topped it off with 2 coats of HK Girl.







I love the sparkle with this design! I think it would go perfect with any holiday outfit, especially something for New Years!

Thanks for the guest post and I hope your readers stop by and see what I am up to!
