Chameleon Mani Guest Post by Kelsie of Kelsie's Nail Files!

Today's special treat is a guest post from Kelsie at Kelsie's Nail Files!  If you haven't seen her blog, she's an absolutely amazing artist.  I'm totally in awe of her abilities... especially since I can only draw stick figures!  Kelsie has been a huge help to me in finding things like challenges, setting up more social media and other fun things I didn't really do before.  I know I wouldn't have done so much so quickly without her insights.  And now... on to the mani!


Hello everyone! :) For those of you who may not know, I'm Kelsie from a little blog called Kelsie's Nail Files. I am so excited to be doing a guest post here today. As I'm sure you all know, Mandy is quite new to blogging, much like myself, and I adore her blog so far. It's so well rounded and her nails are gorgeous... but I don't have to tell any of you that :)

I wanted to do a mani that would be unique and tailor to Chameleon Stampede... it comes as no surprise that the first thing that came to my mind was chameleons! :D I love reptiles, especially ones that change color!! Who wouldn't right?
So without further ado, I give you chameleon inspired nails...




I used Sally Hansen HD Hue as my base color. Then did a gradient using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightening & Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Grass Slipper. I stamped the stripes using a faux konad plate and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Brisk Blue. 

My inspiration came from this little guy I found on a google search:


THANK YOU so much Mandy for having me on your blog!! It was such an honor :D 

Ok, let me just say that when I saw the chameleon I literally squealed! Obviously, I love chameleon's and the fact that you put so much thought into incorporating them made me giddy!  This is a crazy cool mani with a crazy cool inspiration... Love it! Thanks, Kelsie!!!
