Guest Post ~ Layering from Rebecca of Pandora's Nails


Today's guest post comes from Rebecca over at Pandora's Nails. Her pictures are always so perfect and she is the reason I bought my first A Englands!

Hey everyone, 

This is my second time guesting at Refined and Polished, and I am so honoured to be asked back to help out while Lakeisha is busy with her studies.

Now anyone who is familiar with my blog knows I am not great at nail art, so I decided to keep it simple. I always love this design when I wear it, so it was the perfect choice for me.

I started off with a base of a-england Guinevere. Here is 2 coats with no top coat.
I then painted 2 coats of Orly Fowl Play across the nail in a diagonal. This was done free hand, so the line isn't as straight as it could have been using tape, but I was quite happy with the result. I finished it all off with 1 coat of the Shield.
And here is a close up so you can see all the pretty flakies in Fowl Play.
I hope you like this post, and thank you for having me! <3 xx

Thanks so much Rebecca! I would've never paired these two colors together, but they look gorgeous. I can't even tell that you free-handed the diagonal lines. Make sure you all check out more great pictures at Pandora's Nails

WOW! Rebecca, this is really cool! I have Fowl Play, but have never worn it as a mani, but I certainly will now! Thanks!

This is amazing - never would have thought of the combo either! GREAT way to wear two lovelies at the same time. :o)

Wow! I agree with everyone else, it's an amazing color combo and I will definitely try something similar with my Fowl Play!

Love these 2 layered - I also never would have thought of using these 2 together. I don't have that shade from A-England but have a couple that are close I think - going to try some like this with my Fowl Play great way to pull Fowl Play into a softer look/use. I tend to just put it away after fall/winter now.
