Nail Artist Feature: The Nailinator

In my part of the world, nail art bloggers are almost rare. So when I knew about Rachael, a fellow nail artist here in the Philippines, I couldn't (really) wait to meet her. So came that fateful day that we had a girls night out in her hometown, Cebu City. Before our meeting, I was excited and scared at the same time even though we have chatted a few times already. But then the moment we finally met, I realized I just got scared for nothing. She was not only pretty, she was super friendly as well. We became friends almost instantly. It's so easy to open up to this wonderful person.

I invited her to guest post here at Simply Rins because I think her nail art is amazing. I'll let her take over from here. :)

When I first got into nail art a few years ago, I searched for other Philippine-based nail blogs and Simply Rins was the first one I ever found. I spent a long while oohing and aahing over Rina's designs, and I've been a big fan ever since. I've even had the pleasure of meeting her in person and I'm an even bigger fan now. She is such a sweet soul. She's got some amazing skills and creativity, and I'm honored that she asked me to share a little something with you all today!

The weather has been so gloomy here lately, and I've been in such a gloomy mood, so I decided I needed something bright and fun on my nails STAT! Here's what I came up with:

Nail Art: Welcoming 2014

There is this wonderful lady named Rachael. She lives in Cebu City, Philippines and happens to be a fellow nail artist/blogger. After several chats, I can honestly say that she has become a friend even though we haven't really met in person. Talking to her was as easy as ABC. Last year, she invited me to guest post in her blog. I immediately agreed. It was actually the first time someone ever asked me to do that. It was quite exciting. And after several excuses and months (!) later, I finally had time to get to it.

The nail art I did for her was meant to be festive. I wanted a design that would appear as a celebration for the new year. I came up with the idea of confetti. This was the result:
