Instagram Mani Swap Fun no3

Here we have a another post for a #maniswap it did with the talented Cheyenne ig @cdbnails143. She chose my Dream Catcher and Feather mani and i chose to recreate her Feathers and Paws mani so we ended up with a Native American theme.
Below is Cheyennes beautiful original

Here is my recreation. I found this so difficult to fit on my nails but am happy how it turned out. Deffinately not as good a Cheyenne though.

Below is my original that she chose to recreate.

Here is her recreation. I think she has done an amazing job.

Here they all are together ….originals on the left and recreations on the right

This really stretches my skills at more fine detail and i so so enjoyed this. Thanks you Cheyenne.
You can find us both over on instagram here

Instagram Fun Twin Nails no2

Continuing with my recent Twin and Mani Swap series …
Today I have another #bestietwinnails post for you that I did with the lovely Kim ig @kimmarieex.
We chose a more simple, elegant design and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Our inspiration came from a design by ig @newlypolished that Kim liked. 
Here is the original design that we based our nails on.

Here is my recreation. I had some trouble getting the design as I wanted with the stripping tape as my nails are a different shape.

Here is Kim’s recreation. I think she has done an amazing mani and got the pattern perfectly.

Here are both pictures together

I would like to thank Kim for joining me with this I had so much fun and love our chats over on Kik…….
You can find Kim and myself mainly on Instagram here

Instagram Fun Twin Nails

In response to a post I put up on instagram for Mani Swaps or Twin nails here is the first #bestietwinnails post
I got together with the lovely and amazingly talented Tracie ig @mentalmoma and we decided to do a Scaled Gradient inspired by @simplynailogical as we had both been wanting to try out this technique and design. We chose our own colours and used a single chevron guide.
Here is Tracies design

I absolutely adore the colours she chose for the gradient and so beautifully blended.
Here is mine

I chose to use holographic polishes and love how they blended.
But Tracie being Tracie decided she wanted to add something to make them stand out and I’m so glad we did

As you can see we added some leopard print and i love how it turned out. Here are both pictures together

Thank you to Tracie doing this with me and the laughs we had along the way. Can’t wait for our Mani Swap hun

Instagram Mani Swap Fun no2

If you read my last post you will know i am doing some mani swaps and twin nails.
Today’s post is my #maniswap with ig @emmaelizabethxxx
Emma chose to recreate my peach and purple roses.
Below is my original mani.

I think she has done a brilliant job. The colours and detail are so accurate. She changed the placement slightly to fit better with her nail shape and i love it.

I chose to do Emmas rose mani and below is her original.

And here is my recreation of her mani

Here below are all 4 pictures together. On the left are the originals and on the right are the re reactions

I thoroughly enjoyed recreating and working with Emma and she has done an awesome recreation.

Instagram Fun with Mani Swaps

I recently put a post on instagram asking for anyone who wanted to do mani swaps or twin nails with me. I was overwhelmed with the response.
So i will be doing some regular posts on how these turned out.
First is my #maniswap with ig @brendas_nail_art_adventures
Brenda decided to recreate a recent mani I had done of dream catchers and feathers. Below is my original.

Below is Brendas recreation.

She has done such an amazing job recreating my mani, even down to the colours.
I chose to recreate her tropical sunset and palm trees mani and below is her original

Here below is my recreation. I loved doing this as my two fav types of nail art are gradients with black acrylic detailing

Here are all 4 pics together. The originals on the left and recreations on the right.

This was my first time doing a mani swap and it was great fun and I thank Brenda for joining me with this and doing such a wonderful mani xx
