The Digit-al Dozen Recreates First Blog Posts - Salt, Pepper & Sophistication

Hello lovelies!

This month, The Digit-al Dozen's challenge theme is recreating our first blog posts. How fun! My first post however, was a snowflake mani and since I am still in denial about it being the end of summer, I decided to skip that one. For my first post I decided to celebrate my first milestone: The First Mani That Was Ever Shared On Social Media By Someone Else!

The Digit-al Dozen Does Colour Contrast! - Colour Blocking

Hello lovelies!

I'd like to close this awesome series of Colour Contrast manicures with some colour blocking. So I went back to the roots of it - to Mondriaan, a fellow Dutchie, who mastered the art of colour blocking a century ago:

Hello lovelies!

Born Pretty Store sent me this AWESOME nail applique, black lips with a diamond (well, ok, rhinestone). So I went with a bold mani to accompany it:

Guest post by Marisa from Hey, Darling Polish!

Hello darlings!

Im so excited to be guest posting today! I think it's fun to be able to create nail art for someone else's blog! 

Here's a little bit about me: My name is Marisa and I run the blog Hey, Darling Polish! My blog is my outlet for when school gets stressful and when I need a break from my work. I like having super bright and fun nails so that's what I did for you all today (:

So, onto the nails!

Guest Post by Narmai from PiggieLuv.com

Hey lovelies!

I have another guest post for you today! This one is from my fellow Dutchie Narmai from the fabulous PiggieLuv.com nail art page. She created something that is totally me: neon and stars... I love it! Thank you Narmai :)

Hi ladies! My name is Narmai and I'm so excited to guest post here on Manis and Makeovers!!! For today's post, I made a neon tape mani. I used two brandless neon polishes to create a gradient first. Then I applied tape from one side of the nail to the other, in a diagonal line. I painted Picture Polish black on top of that, and then quickly removed the tape before the polish dried. This is what makes the cool, clean lines.

You can now play with your stripes! Fill up the neon lines with black wherever you want, you can create cool patterns this way! I chose to apply little star glitters afterwards, making it look like falling stars.

I hope you like this design! Thanks so much hon, for giving me a chance to spam your readers!!!

Preppy French Tips, That's What I Mint!

Hey lovelies!

This is what I'm actually wearing right now! 

Nautical Nails

Hello lovelies!

Today I want to show you the mani I did for my weekend of sailing :) One of my dear friends is a sailing expert and she took me sailing on the Frisian lakes :) That called for an appropriate mani:

It is inspired by The Nailasaurus. I used striping tape for the lines, my first time using striping tape! It is amazing stuff... I used Rimmel "My Denim" for the blue,  Essence "Fame Fatal" for the red, W7 "White" for the white base and NYC "Full Metal Jacket" for the gold. I freehanded the anchor with a nail art brush and dotting tool. 

What do you think?
