Hi Goddesses
Today's Guest Post is from another of my bloggers to watch in 2014. I love Hannah's colourful style, and her mani today is just to die for :)

Hi everybody! I'm Hannah from The Dalai Lama's Nails. I'm SO SO SO excited to be guest posting for the Crumpet today! You have no idea how excited I am (ok, I don't know, maybe you have a little idea?). I was so thrilled to be included on Debbie's list of blogs to watch in 2014, and she's included me again!
With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought it would be fun to do an edgy Betsey Johnson kind of look. I wasn't inspired by any particular garment, but the finished manicure does remind me of her fashion. I also like it because I'm a little bit girly and I love flowers and pink and all that, but I'm also strong and independent - and I think that's perfect for a little mix and match.
A few weeks ago I did a floral and leopard combination, though the components were on different nails. I kept thinking it would be so cool if I smushed them together onto one nail, for even more mix and matchiness!
I started by polishing all my nails with 3 coats OPI I Theodora You, which is a very lovely sheer pink. The leopard print was done using a dotting tool and Essie Cascade Cool for the center dots and American Apparel Hassid for the outlined portions. For the florals, I blobbed on OPI Mod About You with a dotting tool, and then went in to create some layers using a small detail brush and Essie She's Pampered, Zoya Charla, Essie Cascade Cool, and another little bit of Mod About You. The leaves are Essie Going Incognito.
Thank you so much for having me, Debbie! It's quite an honor, and so much fun! For more of my nail art, you can check me out: The Dalai Lama's Nails blog Facebook Instagram Pinterest Twitter
