Hi Goddesses
Today's guest post is someone who I literally see getting better each month. It's Claire, from Kerruticles, and you have seen her on this blog before. I am always drawn to the simplicity of her designs and that single bold photograph. She's one of those bloggers who make it look so easy .... and effortlessly classy :)

I was thrilled to be invited by Debbie to guest blog for The Crumpet. She is an amazing person who does so much for our lovely nail community that it is a real honour for me to be able to showcase some of my nail art on her awesome blog.
I really wasn't sure what I was going to do for my guest post. I wanted it to be something different, or remarkable. Something worthy of The Crumpet; not just a run of the mill mani. Of course, putting that sort of pressure on myself meant that I just couldn't conjure up anything good enough to do. I was going to do a stamping decal. Then a complicated tape mani. Then I went blank. Finally, I settled for an abstract look.
I saw a lovely, abstract pattern that wasn't too uniform and which I thought I could recreate on my nails.
I started with a base of OPI My Vampire Is Buff and then dotted the pattern on using:
- China Glaze For Audrey
- Barry M Papaya
- OPI My Vampire Is Buff
- W7 Black
I made sure to wait a good long time before top-coating, so that it wouldn't smudge.
I typically only ever take one photo to use on my blog, but felt that would be inadequate for Debbie, who does so many, so I did take another angle for once:
This is the pattern from which I drew my inspiration:

After all the self-imposed pressure to perform, I think I did OK. Not brilliant, but OK. It's not stunning, but it's certainly different and I enjoyed wearing it for a few days.
Massive thanks again to Debbie for having me on her blog.
