So why am I posting up marine/ocean oriented nail art in the heart of Halloween season? Well Llarowe, a small business that specializes in selling all manner of nail polishes lemmings including many highly coveted indie brands, is launching a blog! The kicker here is the inaugural post is going to be a guest post from whomever creates a manicure featuring products carried by Llarowe. Pretty great huh? I created this mani in the hopes that I might be chosen :) Now let's get onto the art...

Leah Anne the lady behind this company is such a sweetheart! We've shared a mutual health burden that led us to some shared sympathy and laughter. Honestly, I'm uber excited to see both her blog and new website! Anyhoo, I created this mani using one of the adorable 10 small stamping plates offered by LeaLac a subsidiary of Llarowe and several polishes i.e. CrowsToes, Dollish Polish and A-England, also carried by Llarowe (click links above to view). I chose this plate because it's probably one of the most unique plates I've seen of the many I own, and it's been calling out for a good mani for a bit now. And after this mani yeah um I need ALL the plates now!
In case you were wondering what my mani looked like prior to stamping ;) |
I could seriously eat this little octopus up! So freaking cute!!! |
So what do you think? Another insane mani-logue huh? Hehe I must be channeling a mad person lol! But the results are worth it don't you think? Okie dokie that's it for now. Thanks so much for reading and I'll see you next post! Toodles...
WOW !! That's just an awesome mani !! Did you have to spend a lot of time doing it? It's so complex :) Good luck !!!!!
ReplyDeleteVicky my love you are ALWAYS ALWAYS so supportive! Thank you!! This was actually a ridiculously quick one. The french tips created themselves in about 45mins and I can stamp and gussy up pretty quickly these days. So ball park an hour? The halloween one I did was waaay longer!
DeleteGosh..this is just so awesome! The colors, the drawings, the glitter. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks J! You know I love stamping recently I've just been really getting into mixing polishes on my nails to create depth. I'm glad you like it :)
