Hi there, dear Brit Nails readers!

First let me start by saying how flattered and honored I was when Allie invited me to do a guest post for her blog, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my nail art with her lovely readers! I hope you will like the nail art I prepared for this post. 

I decided to go for a red and hot nail art; At first I had no idea where this nail art is headed, I just knew I wanted to have a red and black gradient (a super hot color combo at these days, after the release of the new Christian Louboutin nail polish) and then go from there. Once my red-black gradient was complete, I kind of liked it as is so I wanted to keep it rather simple. Then I decided that maybe some gold will probably go nicely with these two colors, don’t you agree? So gold it was!

I added some random swipes of a metallic gold nail polish, creating this fun and easy distressed look. I became pretty obsessed over the distressed nail art look after Sarah’s great tutorials at Chalkboard Nails!

So there it is, my red-black-gold mani with a hint of a devilish touch! I don’t know if it’s the colors or the almond nail shape (or maybe it’s just me), but you can see what I mean, right? ;)

Nail polish I used for this nail art:

Cirque Holdfast Base Coat
Ga-De #363 Geisha (red)
Cirque Memento Mori (black)
Sally Hansen #420 Liquid Gold
Cirque Liquid Laminate Top Coat

I hope you liked my nail art for this post, and hopefully stop by my blog to say hello and check my nail art! Thanks for reading!

Lily of The Lake

This is named after the polishes I used...Sally Hansen Gilded Lily and a-england Lady of The Lake. I supposed I could also have called it Gilded Lake. My imagination is just endless isn't it!?

I painted on a base of Lady of The Lake, followed by a top coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. I then taped off the triangle shapes with striping tape, and painted over them with Sally Hansen Gilded Lily. 

I don't know why my hand looks so red in this first one. Thanks, camera!
