Hello lovelies,

Last week, I've had an interesting proposition from lovely people at Tangle Teezer. They've asked me if I'd like to create a nail art inspired by their Tangle Teezer hair brushes and tell you about a Twitter competition between Tangle Teezer and Little Ondine. I immediately said yes because I'm a huge fan of Tangle Teezer (TT) brushes and I haven't been using any others for the past 4 or so years.

Once I browsed the TT website to look for an inspiration, I came across their Salon Elite line full of colourful brushes. I've had an idea for fun, colourful and almost pop art stylised images so I tried to get as close as possible to my vision.

I've used two Tangle Teezers in the photos - Lemon Sherbet, a canary yellow and pastel pink and Blue Blush, bright blue and neon pink.

As for my nails, I wanted to match up the polishes as close to the TT colours as possible and then stick to the colour combinations on my nails. I also didn't want a busy design bt something very simple yet bold. This design was most likely done before but I didn't intentionally copy anyone and just played around :)

For my left hand I've used KIKO 295 Cerulean Blue, a bright blue nail polish and then I've used striper and painted the middle section with Models Own Pink Wellies, a neon pink polish. On my right hand, I've painted my nails with three coats of Accessorize Bubble Gum, a pink creme colour. The using striper again, I've painted the middle section with Rimmel 452 Chin up, Buttercup, a bright yellow creme. All sealed with Seche Vite topcoat which ultimately betrayed me at this instance and I had quite noticeable shrinkage after couple of hours :'(

Here's the rest of the photos I did for you with the help of my husband and keep reading for the details of the competition and how to join!

Hello lovelies,

I have a weekend treat for you in the form of new video tutorial for today's Marbled & Framed nails! I wore these nails to the Barry M event last month. People seemed to like it (or at least what they could see because it was very dark in there) and fellow blogger Amelia (xameliax) wanted a tutorial so here it is!

Let's have a look at the nail design I'll be creating first..

Don't be scared, I didn't change my nail shape completely! :D This is my right hand where I'm currently testing round/almond nail shape whilst still having square shape on my left hand (as you'll see). I've chosen to do this design specifically for the almond shaped nails but liked it so much that I've left it on and did it on my other hand for the event. So basically you get a unique chance to see the same design on two nail shapes ;)

For this look I have been testing the new range of Accessorize polishes and their top coat. There are 39 new colours in total (incl. top coat and matte top coat) and they range from pastels and brights to glitters and metallics. You can see all colours here in my post.

I have used:

OPI Natural Nail Base Coat

Accessorize Deep Sea (dark blue shimmer)

Accessorize Blue Suede Shoes (medium blue creme)

Accessorize Heavenly (pastel blue creme)

Accessorize White Out (white creme)

Accessorize Top Coat

And here's how you can achieve this look:

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
