Hello lovelies,

While I'm on holiday I've asked some of my favourite bloggers to guest post for me. Today I have here THE one and only Sammy aka The Nailasaurus! I don't think I have to introduce her, we all know her cute nubbins and great nail art! I've had the pleasure of meeting Sammy in person last year at the Cosmopolitan blog awards and she is as lovely as her blogging personality :) Let's have a look what she's prepared for us:

The Nailasaurus for Lucy's Stash - Summer Stamping | Guest post

 

 

Hello Lucy’s Stash readers! For my guest post today, I wanted to create some nail art with two of my favourite elements – gradients and stamping – with a summery theme. I decided on a simple sugary gradient with a light sprinkling of stamping and I think the matte effect (which I added after, on a whim) makes it look even sweeter!

 

For the gradient, I painted on a base of pastel yellow which I got in-store at Tiger. I created the gradient by adding Nicole by OPI LeaPink for Joy in to the mix. There’s a tutorial for gradient nail art here.

 

The stamping is all from MoYou Plate Mother Nature 02 and I stamped using BK Matte White polish.

 

It’s all topped off with a coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl, then one coat of Rimmel Matte Finish.

Oh, I love Sammy's manicures so much! She always takes something simple but makes it look so awesome! Thank you so much Sammy for guest posting for me and I hope all of you have enjoyed it too :)

Hello lovelies,

 

I'm still 'holidaying' so my today's guest is a blogger whose stamped manicures and beautiful pictures I'm always admired. I'm talking about Bregje from Oooh, Shinies! I like stamping and I don't think I do it often enough so that's why I have Bregje here :) I knew she wouldn't disappoint and she's created another pretty stamped manicure for you. Here is her post:

 

Hey there! I'm Bregje from Oooh, Shinies! and it sure is great to be here, it's such an honor to be on Lucy's awesome blog! I'm really impressed by what she shows here, how she keeps amazing me with new designs and her ever growing skills, all her freehand stuff is just... wow! <3 The few times that I've tried it, I failed horribly, so for now I'll just stick to a little bit more basic nail art and just drool over her work instead :) The nail art that I'm showing today is also pretty easy, but there's still a lot going on thanks to the base color. Or well, base colors would perhaps be a better way of saying it, it might be one polish but it's multichrome with added holo goodness, yum!

Different View's main colors are green and purple, but it leans to gold and grey as well, with a bright purple flash. And if that's not enough, it's a holographic polish as well! Oh, and it covered in 2 easy coats, what's not to love? Awesome on itself, but I couldn't resist to add some stamping :)

I hope you like the result of this stamping combo, thanks for looking and have a great day! Lucy, thanks so much for having me here while you're hopefully having a fantastic time on your holiday :)

 

Thank you very much Bregje! The Dance Legend polish is soo beautiful! For more nail art and swatches, you can find Oooh, Shinies! on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
