Hello lovelies,

I'm back from a short holiday break in Czech Republic so I've been very quiet this week. In the light of this week's horrific attacks I wasn't going to post any more nails BUT I refuse to feel and act defeated, scared and depressed. I will not stop doing what I love and since some French ladies in the nail community already expressed that they do not wish to see 'Pray for Paris' nails I will respect that and post something neutral I've prepared last week before I left England. So I will not further modify this post and will post it as it was originally intended.

Today's manicure combines different textures and I've created it a while ago. Unfortunately it took me ages to edit the video tutorial so I couldn't show you just yet! But good news is - it's done now and there is a tutorial!

I have been trialling different texture nail art manicures in the past few months and this lavender manicure is the first one. At the time I still wore rounded nails on my right hand so to precede your questions - no, I did not change my nail shape completely ;)

Things I used for this look:

Zoya Julie* (2 coats)

Zoya PixieDust Stevie*

Pueen nail vinyls*, sheet NV12 (or on Amazon)

Seche Vite topcoat

OPI Natural Nail basecoat

And here's how you can recreate this manicure:

I really like this experiment and I can't wait to show you more of these manicures! Hope you've enjoyed the tutorial :)

Stay safe! Lucie x

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:
