As Seen On : Mr Candiipants

So at this current moment I am on holiday in Cologne (and will be for the next few days), so I've got a whole 6 days of scheduled posts for you, as part of an "As Seen On..." series. So from Monday to Saturday, I'll be featuring some of the very first nail blogs I started reading, bloggers who inspired me to start my very own nail art blog, and re-creating one of their manicures for each day of this series !

Hey there everyone ! So here we go for day five of my scheduled posts, and today I'm featuring someone very special ! Now the surprise has already probably been spoiled by the title, but just in case you didn't read it, today's post is dedicated to Candice from Mr Candiipants ! Candice is super famous in the tumblr world, but she also has a blogspot where she writes loaaaaads more which is great ! So, on to the nails...


Candice has potsed two different koi fish manicures on her tumblr, one from just after she'd started blogging, and again a few months later. She also did a tutorial for the design which is what I used for creating these nails ! I didn't have any of the same polishes as what Candice used for her original designs, so I improvised with colours I already owned to create the same effect.


For the design the polishes I used were P2 Who Cares ? for the base, for the bubbles I used Barry M Silver Foil and then for the fish I used OPI Alpine Snow, OPI My Back Pocket and my Models Own Wah Nails nail art pen in black. Needless to say, Candice's koi fish look waaaaaay better than mine, but I was quite pleased with how they turned out ! I really need to practise more with my nail art brush so I can get better at details !


So that's it for today ! I can't believe there's only one day left in this series ! But not to worry, I've got another series lined up for you in just over a week ! Hope you enjoyed today's post, and I hope you have a great day !
