GuestPost - BeginNails

If I am still pregnant when this post goes live, that makes me currently 41 weeks pregnant, and officially overdue with a week. The power is strong in this one, and the waddle even more so.

Today the lovely Kristi is guestposting her wonderful and classy mani.


Greetings and Nailutations!

I'm Kristi from BeginNails and I am super excited to share a mani while Dina is tending to her new addition! 

Products used:

Drip Drop Nail Paint: Tighty Whities and Yoga Pants

Lemming Lacquer: This Life Can Turn A Good Girl Bad

Dream Polish: Gem Glam Top Coat (press sample)

I started with base colors of Tighty Whities (white creme) on pointer and ring finger,
This Life Can Turn A Good Girl Bad (red creme) on my middle finger and Yoga Pants (black creme) on my pinky.  After I let them all dry I added a little half moon in black as an accent with a striper and a steady hand.  Then it was all topped by Gem Glam Top Coat.

I was tempted to add more, but I really loved how simple and fun it turned out.

Thanks for reading!  I hope you enjoyed this mani! 

Happy Polishing,

Kristi aka BeginNails

Today is a big day, it's my partners birthday, and it is also my due date (!)
If it has already happened at this stage there will be a post over on my Instagram with the good news. If I am still waiting for my little munchkin, then I will be spending the day celebrating my partners birthday.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy hearing from Kirsty, who is the lovely lady behind Fairytalesnails!



Hi everyone

when Dina said she was looking for someone to do a guest post whilst she is on maternity leave, I jumped at the chance. I have always loved her blog and her mani's, my name is Kirsty and I write a blog called Fairytalesnails. I am a full-time mummy to an amazing two-year-old little girl and I am a nail polish addict. I do swatch and reviews of collections and individual polishes as well as nail art, blogging and anything nail related is my passion. So for my guest post I decided to do a simple stamped mani using one of the polishes from my Alphabet Swatchathon. 

A England - Briar Rose

For my base polish I used A England Briar Rose, this is a beautiful pink toned red linear holographic. This beauty is fully opaque in 2 thin coats, or you could even get away with 1 thick coat. If you would like any more information there is a full blog post about this polish up on my blog now.

The stamping image I chose is from Fab Ur Nails Fun 13, It is a really pretty criss cross pattern with hearts in the middle of each diamond.

Born Pretty stamping polish is my go to for any coloured stamping, this polish is a yellow toned gold. I stamped using my Clear Jelly Big Bling stamper, this stamper has a large clear head and make it so easy to line up the images on your nail. 

I hope you like this mani and a big thank you again to Dina for letting me be a guest blogger on her blog. I hope you are having an amazing time being a new mummy, and your little one is happy and healthy.
