Allo polish Pals!
How are you today? I'm actually writing
to your from the future. I'm here in England now but thought I would
do this as a scheduled post to keep myself up to date. Do you
remember a short while ago I did that really fun manicure swap? I was
lucky enough to have the beautiful Natalia of Polished Polyglot email
me to ask if I would like to do a manicure swap with her. I of course
had to say yes! I've known Natalia's blog right from the first few
months of starting my own blog. She's a lovely person, always so warm
and friendly. She was so kind to me during my father's heart attack.
I've always enjoyed visiting her blog and seeing her newest
creations.
I was so excited to take part
in recreating one of her many beautiful designs, it was incredibly
hard to decide which of her manicures to recreate as she has some
really stunning designs. Please go take a look at her website, you
wont be disappointed!

| Here is Natalia's Design (Left) and my recreation. |
I finally managed to decide to recreate
Natalia's 'Night Out' nails because I thought they looks so elegant
and glamorous. I couldn't help think that she nailed the brief
perfectly, I would certainly want to wear these on a fancy night out!
For my version I used Hema's nude polish and applied a layer of
Collistar's '#37' glitter. I then used striping tapes to add Fearne's
'High Tide' and added a small rhinestone to match Natalia's design.
Natalia decided to recreate my 'Gleaming Oceanic Gradient Nails'. On the left is my version and the right is Natalia's; I love the colours she used and I think her creation is simply gorgeous, I think she made this manicure look so much better than the original!
I think Natalia's manicure is
beautiful and looks great wit her nail shape. It's got me wishing for
my rounder nails again...
What do you think of this
manicure swap? Have you taken part in a mani swap before?
Have a fantastic day!
Love
Ithi
Soooo beautiful Ithi! You both done a great job with these manis. Love them. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ann-Sofie! I've always loved Natalia's nail art so it was so fun (and difficult) to try and work out which gorgeous manicure to recreate. I also think Natalia's version of my manicure is just perfect! xx
DeleteBoth of them are fabulous. In both cases the combination is perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Manases Andrea! I certainly think Natalia's manicure was such a perfect design in terms of colour. So elegant! xx
DeleteHi Ithi! I hope you are having a blast back home! I'm so happy to have done this mani-swap with you! you are such a creative person I had a hard time choosing which mani to recreate, changed my mind 20 times, haha, still so many manis I'd like to "copy". Thank you for accepting my request and you've added a diferent dimension to my design, your version actually looks so glamourous! I now want to try again myself with a more obvious glitter, hihi.
