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,

Nice people from Models Own have set me four colours from their new Twilight HyperGel collection and I've decided to combine them into one manicure..well, a dotticure.

The Twilight collection consists of 13 new HyperGel shades in beautiful autumnal and winter colours. Whole HyperGel collection boasts with wider flat brush for easier application and super glossy formula with gel-like look without the need of UV light.

I've had so much fun creating this look! I've used dotting tools and nail art brush and these four Models Own polishes*: Everyday Grey, Cashmere Pink, Robin Red and Loganberry. All polishes were lovely to work with as their formula is well-pigmeted and not too thick. In the end I've applied Cuccio Matter topcoat to get a different finish and I really liked it! Which version do you like better - glossy or matte?

Models Own Twilight collection is available at www.modelsownit.com, in Bottleshops and in Superdrug.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
