Hello lovelies,

I was going through my folder with manicures and it occured to me that I have A LOT of manicures that I never got to share with you! There are swatches and nail art designs and I though it would be a shame if they never got to be seen. So here is the first lot of nail art looks that I never shared:

1. Ledlighting & Stamping Nail Art

I've used Dance Legend All Or Nothing for base and then black stamping polish, Pueen Lace Blossom stamping plate and Dance Legend Aquarelle polishes in Picasso, Dali, Rafael, Sisley.

2. Polynesian Pattern

I've used Dance Legend Glass collection 1052 and City Lights Hen-Party, Konad Black stamping polish, Bundle Monster Polynesia BM-XL106 stamping plate

3. Gold Leaf Rain

Cirque Au over Models Own HyperGel Inky Blue.

4. Monochrome Triangles

I've used Cirque Back To Basics set. I remember ot publishing this mani because it got smeared when I put on top coat :(

5. Parrot Feathers inspired

I've used Barry M polishes in Elderberry, Grapefruit, Indigo, Barry M 134 (yellow), Pomegranate, Raspberry.

6. Typical Britain ;)

I've used Dance Legend Grey Britain as a base colour.

7. Cactus Nails

I've used Glitter Gal She’s Cactus and acrylic paint.

8. Freehand Geometric

I've used FUN Lacquer Belle and a A England Camelot.

9. Metallic Foil Polka Dots

I've used Born Pretty Store nail foils and CND Tinted Love.

10. Studded Nails

I've used Zoya Flynn and studs from Born Pretty Store.

Those were just 10 out of many nail art manicures that I never published. Sometimes I had too much content and not enough time to write and publish the blog post or I didn't like the final look for some reason. As you can see, some of these manicures are crappy and not so great but they are few years old and it's nice to track my own progress in nail art.

What do you think? Which nail art mani do you like best?

Hello lovelies,

I was playing with nail foils the other day and I thought - what about foil/metallic dots? I haven't done anything like that before so I wanted to try that idea.

For this manicure I have used CND Tinted Love VINYLUX nail polish, metallic nail foils and nail foil glue (use LUHH10 for 10% discount).

How it's done:

1. Paint your nails with 1-2 coats of your chosen polish and let it dry

2. Use dotting tool and nail foil glue and dot the glue on nail where you want your foil dots to be. Let the glue dry properly, it must be completely transparent

3. Cut a bit of foil and press it over the dry glue dots. Lift it up and check that whole dots are covered in foil. If not, press unused part of foil on the dots again.

4. Once you're happy with the dots, seal the design with water or oil-based topcoat (they don't destroy foils) or alternatively you can use Picture Polish Revolution, a glitter base coat that supposedly works as base coat as well.

Quite simple, right? I like that the foil dots are a bit different from all other dotted nails I've seen and I think I'll do some more experiments with this method. Would you fancy a video tutorial?

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
