Hello lovelies,

 

It's the last day of the month (and year!) and that means the Nailvengers Assemble! challenge. Joining me in the challenge will be Sammy (The Nailasaurus), Alice (One Nail To Rule Them All) and Allie (Brit Nails).

 

This month's theme couldn't be anything else than New Year's Eve Nails! I've opted for elegant black and gold with matte finish. I started with a coat of Cirque Memento Mori, then added the gold glitter Rimmel Bling Thing. I have stamped the thumb with China Glaze Passion and Bundle Monster plate BM-H14 from the Holiday Collection set. Then I've used China Glaze Passion again and painted on the 2015. Lastly, I've used OPI Matte Top Coat to 'mattify' the whole manicure.

I'm not very happy with how the thumb turned out and it ruined the whole manicure but I'm really liking the other nails. I've also prepared a small collage of some of this year's Nailvengers Assemble challenges I did:

I wish you all Happy New Year and all the best in 2015! See you tomorrow ;) Lucie x

 

Hello lovelies,

 

What about some glamorous nail inspiration for New Years' Eve party? This is a very simple design that you can do just using the nail polish brushes straight out of bottle, no need for nail art brushes. I've used three All That Jazz polishes - All Eyes On Me, Be Fierce and Fit For Royals. All Eyes On Me and Be Fierce are colours from the autumn Spotlight Affair collection (reviewed here) and Fit For Royals is from the winter Indulge Me collection which I'll review later.

 

I've paired the design up with some gold bracelets and it was the perfect fit!

Even though it's a very simple design I've prepared a picture tutorial for you:

So what do you think? I really like this colour combination and how easy & fast it is! I didn't need a tape or a special brush, all was done just with the nail polishes. Simplez! :)

 

All That Jazz polishes are available at Nail Harmony UK website for £7 (you'll need to register first to shop).

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
