She's like this superwoman that manages so many things on top of her personal life and she's doing a great job! So let's have a look at what has Debbie prepared for us...

Hi Goddesses

I'm Debbie, from The Crumpet, and I am beyond thrilled to be your guest blogger today.

Like a lot of you, I LOVE LUCY! Her blog is everything I aspire to be - professional, clean (as in neat), inventive. Her photos are amazing and I love that she puts so much time into tutorials, gently encouraging us that, although it might LOOK difficult, it actually isn't. If you're Lucy :/

Lucy has also really encouraged me at various times, so I wanted my mani to reflect the things I have learnt from her -

* use acrylics! Lucy was the one who really pushed me to give it a go, and I am sooooo glad I did

* practice your brush control

* learn simple shapes, and apply them

So today we have something that looks like vintage roses, I guess. It reminds me of wallpaper - now THAT would be a tranquil room.

I started off with 3 coats of piCture pOlish Beige, a fantastic neutral, and then added stripes using a thin striper and piCture pOlish Honeydew.

I then added my roses using a large dotter and piCture pOlish Wisteria, and added the petals using a small art brush and a mix of Wisteria and Beige. For the final touch, I added petals in a dark green acrylic paint.

Thank you Lucy - thanks for being so awesome, and so encouraging. Keep being marvellous xx :)

You can also find The Crumpet on Facebook or on Instagram.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Hello lovelies,

Today I'll be reviewing this super cool jelly and glitter combo from WellNails. WellNails is a Danish indie brand made by Charlotte. I've previously reviewed two polishes from this very brand, you can check them out here. The whole WellNails range is inspired by How I Met Your Mother series which I just love! I just read the names of the polishes and memories of funny episodes spring to my mind. Today's polish is....wait for it....Nothing But The Funk! Remember when Marshall was wearing that really tall purple and yellow striped hat?

Nothing But The Funk is red-based purple jelly with two different sizes of yellow glitter. Cool, right? It's really bold colour combo and the glitter stands out perfectly. I've applied two thick coats but you might want to opt in for three thinner coats. It applied well but sometimes I've had to move the glitter around. It dried gritty so use thick topcoat like Seche to smooth it out :)

WellNails Nothing But The Funk - Review & swatches

Awesome colour, right? Each bottle has 15 ml, cute cut-out label and black lid. Polishes are also 3-FREE. If you would like to see more from WellNails including glow-in-the-dark creations and franken kits, visit Charlotte's blog or e-shop. Polishes are priced in dollars and paid via Paypal.
