Swapping Designs with Dahlia Nails

Hey everyone! Today's post is something a little different, a design swap with the lovely girls over at Dahlia Nails. They each recreated one of my designs, and I recreated one of theirs. They've recreated by Rob Ryan nails and my Pink Leopard nails so you can click HERE to go see that. For my recreation, I chose this gorgeous triangle design. I was trying to choose between a few designs that I really liked (and may still do), but something about this one just stood out to me.



For my design I used a base of Barry M - Coconut* (aka my new favourite off-white/cream polish ever) from the new Summer Gelly range (full review coming tomorrow), and then I used Graffiti Nails - Pistachio for the outline of the triangles with a small brush, and then I filled in the centre with acrylic paint, all topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.


The original design by Jo at Dahlia Nails

Here's a collage of all our designs and recreations so you can see what we all picked, but don't forget to read their full post here.


Thankyou so much to Jo and Emma for doing my first swap, I love both your recreations and I hooe my design does yours justice!

What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
