Hello lovelies,

How is your weekend? I'm catching up on some blog work and preparing some new secret project ;) Today I'll show you a gradient manicure and then an updated version of it.

Lovely people from Models Own have sent me their latest colours added to the metallic Chrome collection and I've integrated them into some of my nail art manicures. I started with two coats of Models Own Chrome Grey and then I've sponged on I Love Nail Polish Metropolis and Cold Fusion flakies from the tip of the nail toward the centre.

For me, flakies are still amazing polishes and I really love them so I'll do my best to incorporate them little bit more in the future. I purposely used two different flakie polishes to achieve a nice range of colours and I quite liked the result. But it wasn't quite good enough so I added floral stamping on top!

I have used my Bundle Monster x Lucy's Stash collaboration plate and Hit The Bottle Snowed In stamping polish. All sealed with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

I see myself coming back again and again to my collaboration stamping plate, probably until I do a manicure with every single image. What about you? Have you gotten yourself this plate yet?

I hope you enjoyed this post and had a nice weekend! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Stamping seems to be catching a second wave of popularity and I'm enjoying it! There are so many stunning stamping manicures by talented ladies out there, especially in Facebook groups and on Instagram. So today I want to share with you one stamping manicure I've done.

When I was swatching the ILNP Multichrome Flakies I just had to stamp over them. You could have seen one floral manicure previously. This time I opted for cool silver futuristic-looking pattern. I stamped directly over the flakies with no topcoat which caused the polish to create industrial steel-ish look. It's hard to describe so just have a look at what I mean:

It created a very cool effect, right? I have applied a coat of topcoat which did not smooth the silver out, instead it sealed it as it was.

I have used ILNP Metropolis & Cold Fusion layered over Cirque memento Mori, Pueen Buffet Leisure stamping plate #79 and China Glaze Millennium (silver metallic polish).

And here are some pictures, before stamping of ILNP Metropolis & Cold Fusion over black.

These flakies rock! If you would like to check them all out, you can find the reviews and where to buy here and here.

Hope you've enjoyed today's post and have a lovely day! Lucie x
