Holo Glitter Tips

Goooood Morning! :)

I'm back! Yay :D I have sooooooo much catching up to do! And I have a lot of posts to do, that I promised you guys, so I'll try my best ;) I have to confess that I had almost only naked nails the past few weeks, that's why I chose something easy and pretty to get back into polishing my nails :P

I applied a silver polish (Flormar 436) like a french tip and added 2 coats of Essence Hello Holo over it like a gradient. Then I finished it up with a TC and that's it! Quick and easy to do :) 

Sunlight pictures!! :D And a blurry one, to show you the holo awesomeness of Essence Hello Holo. 

It looks a 1000 times prettier in real life! It kinda reminds me of wedding nails =))

So what's new in the blogging world? :) Let me know!

Have a great Sunday, my lovelies! :* 

Guest Post by The Sneakerette !!

Heeeeey!

I'm very excited about today's guest post! :D It's written by the Sneakerette, one of the coolest bloggers out there!! When I discovered her blog, I was like  "A nail blogger who also loves Sneakers? Oh hell yea! ...OMG and cars too ?? I love her !!" =))) 

I absolutely love cars and I also had a time in my life where I only wore sneakers and I had them in all kinds of colors :D Well, I still love them ;) Soooo, if you don't know her, I really suggest you to visit her blog, Lacquers and Laces, and I'm sure you will love it! She has gorgeous nails ♥

Hello, dear readers of Red Hair and Black Nail Polish!
It's the Sneakerette over from Lacquers and Laces, and I'll be sharing a bit of my nail art with you today! (:

Have you ever gotten that super excited feeling when you meet someone who likes the same things as you? Well, that's how I felt when I discovered all the awesomeness that is behind Red Hair and Black Nail Polish! I mean, not only does Theodora run a sick nail blog--she's also a huge car enthusiast! And being the automotive lover that I am, I couldn't help but spaz a bit when I found out (: Oh and to top it off, she's also one of the most personable bloggers I've ever gotten to know ♥

When Theodora invited me to do a guest post on her blog, I knew instantly that I wanted to do a Ford Mustang inspired mani for her, because that's her favorite car of all time! I found out that her ideal paintjob would be lime green with matte black accents, so I went for that colorway, and created a look inspired by the body line, racing stripes, and of course, logo of the Ford Mustang!

 Hope y'all dig the design, and huge thanks to Theodora for having me!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I already told you, but ....AAAAAH!!!! This is soooo COOL !! Omg, I can't believe you did this design and look at that perfect mustang on your thumb!! I'm in love :D You really are amazing, girl! ;) I have to know what that lime green is :D I don't own a polish with that gorgeous color ...not yet anyway :P

And for you my dear followers, just in case you can't imagine a car with that crazy color, look at this, my future car: 

Isn't it awesome? 

Thank you so, sooo much for this guest post Eileen, you rock! :D

Now you, my lovely readers, go ahead and check out her blog ...and make sure to follow her!! 

Guest Post by Taya!

Hello! :) 

It's Monday and that means I have another guest post for you! I hope you all liked the guests so far and today I have a post written by Tatjana from Taya - My Little Beauty World. She always has gorgeous swatches and Nail Art and she is one of the friendliest bloggers out there! 

Let's see what she has prepared for us today!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, dear readers!

My name is Tatjana and I have a blog Taya - My Little Beauty World. First I want to thank Theodora for inviting me to write a guest post on her blog. She is amazing, I love her blog, nails and her nail art skills.

I was thinking for some time, what to do for this guest post and then I decided to do a gradient, which is very popular lately. Also Theodora did some amazing gradient and I thought, she's going to like it. Polishes, I used, are Flormar N002, Ruby Kisses Orange U Over?, Ruby Kisses Tropical Green and Depend 35. Because summer is coming, I used neon colors.

Then I was thinking to do some upgrade and I decided to use scotch tape. Before that I did only one scotch tape manicure, so my skills are not the best with it, but I wanted to do something special for Theodora's blog, something I don't usually do. The black polish is My Sparkling Acrobat from Circus Circus collection.

Thanks again Theodora for inviting me to write a blogpost for you. I hope you and your readers like my manicure.

I loooove this gradient! So perfect for summer :D  The black stripes make it really cool! 

I haven't done a tape manicure in a very long time, I really should try one again :) 

Thank you so much, Tatjana, for doing this guest post for me and my readers!! 

So there you go, my lovelies! Leave a comment and then head over to her blog, to check out her other manicures!! 

See ya! :*

Guest Post by Kaki!

It's Friday!! Hooray! :D

Today's Guest Post is written by the awesome Kaki from Glitter Obsession! She's one of the coolest persons I got to know through the blogging-community and I consider her my friend ;) 

I can't wait to see what she will come up with, once we start our Summer Challenge, cause she always has great ideas!! :D Let's see what she prepared for us today: 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone! I'm Kaki from GlitterObsession and I'm taking over Theodora's blog today! I was super excited when she asked if I'd come over for a day and hang out at her place, and I wanted to come up with something special because her pictures are always flawless and her nail art is amazing!

I chose to do a manicure based on a picture I saw recently on Let Them Have Polish. The 2nd from the right caught my eye and I thought, "Wow, that would look awesome on a nail!" That's a completely appropriate thing to think right?

So here is my interpretation:

These pictures do NOT do this mani justice. The glitter is so interesting with texture and depth and sparkles like stars. It was gorgeous!

Products Used:

• Milani Nail Art Striper Polish in Black Sketch
• e.l.f. Party Peach
• LASplash Nail Art Glitter in Conjure
• Painter's tape
• Acetone/Brush
• Seche Vite

I did use a black striper to give me a crisp line of black because I did the glitter first. I also did two coats of top coat after the glitter to smooth it out and to make sure I didn't drag glitter on to the black later.

And just for kicks, here are a few pictures of my trial runs on a nail wheel along with some other color combinations.

A different color combination. I liked it, but it didn't have the same sparkle and depth as using glitter. I used Color Club Jingle Jangle and China Glaze Snow Globe.

Another color combo. Reminds me of Superman. And the orange glitter in the blue makes it look like I was messy with the glitter. Live and learn.

Same color combo, but I did the black first, then the peach on top. Went on well, but the glitter is darker since it's over black polish, and I prefer the glitter to be brighter.

Rookie mistake. I did the orange and glitter first, then went over it with the black. Total texture nightmare. I couldn't smooth it out. Note to self: use glitter as the LAST layer and don't try to paint over it.

One more picture for kicks in the sun! Look at that sparkle!! I think what I love about this glitter for this look is that it has different sized glitter AND different colors so it will sparkle orange and green and gold, which makes it so much more interesting!

I hope ya'll liked what I showed today, and if you did, come on by my place at GlitterObsession and say hi! I'm very friendly, despite what Theo may say about me! O.^ 

Thanks for having me here today Theodora!! Good luck with your exams!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haha, I didn't say one bad thing about you! My dear readers, believe me, she is very friendly and you really should go visit her blog :D  Thanks Kaki, I will need the luck! :D

And wow! I love the glitter and the mani looks just like the bathing suit! (or whatever it is :P) Look at all that sparkle! Thank you for showing us the other color combos as well :)

Thank you so, so much for doing this for me and I bet my readers love it, right? ;) Now, that you're done reading, you can go check out her blog and get some inspiration! 

Have a great weekend!
