Hello lovelies,

Today's guest post is from Amelia, a dear fellow British blogger. She is predominantly lifestyle blogger but ventures into the beauty and nail art world as well. I have asked her to come up with a post related to nails and so today she's talking accessories!

Hi Everyone! I'm Amelia from xameliax.com (@xameliax) and it's a pleasure to be here on Lucy's blog! Today I wanted to share with you my favourite accessories to accentuate your nail art from rings, bracelets and even some retro hand tattoos!

Right now i'm absolutely loving Rose Gold! Gemporia has got some amazing rose gold rings in all shapes and sizes for a great price like the stacker ring I'm wearing above. I've paired it with Buckley London Chunky Stacker ring and I love the contrast of thick and thin metal next to eachother. Another great way to show off your nails is with a midi ring - a smaller ring that sits between your knuckle and the tip of your finger. I'm obsessed with the Midi Rings from Shop Dixi, especially their gold designs and they look great stacked up or worn over all your fingers for that boho vibe. Once you've got a few stacker rings you can mix and match depending on your mood for endless combinations!

Who says nail polish needs to stop on your nails? Why not carry on a design with a transfer like these Temporary Gold Leaf Tattoos from ASOS! Simply stick onto your hands, fingers and wrists for a really interesting look - great for festivals or for an elegant night out. Try to match some of the shapes to shapes in your nail art like feathers, hearts and tribal designs!

On the bracelet front you can go chunky or dainty this season with bight and bold cuffs or adorable little string friendship bracelets. I love the Gold Cuff from Pretty Little Thing that i'm wearing in my first photo AND these cute little Friendship Bracelets from ASOS. I like to stack the friendship bracelets up for that holiday beach feeling on my wrists or wear a big jewelled cuff with nothing else as a statement piece for my outfit.

If you're wearing gold glitter, go for gold jewellery or vice versa and try to co-ordinate colours in any jewels with your nail colour too! Jewellery is a great way to accentuate any nail art and can be twice to fun matching it all together!

I hope you enjoyed reading my post today - don't forget to check out my blog for a mix of beauty, lifestyle, travel, fashion and food or follow me on Twitter!

Hello lovelies,

Today I have here beeeautiful floral manicure courtesy of talented Paulina aka Paulina's Passions. Paulina is not a newbie to my blog and has guest posted for me in the past years. She never disappoints and comes up with an awesome nail art! Let's check out her post...

That moment when your favorite blogger invites you for a guest post. Priceless!

Hi the awesome readers of Lucy's Stash, it's Paulina from Paulina's Passions writing to you. It's so lovely to be here again. I am taking over Lucy's blog for today while she is enjoying her holidays. I made some cute blue flowers for you guys and I cannot wait to share them with you. Roses are my absolute favorite to make and I really hope that you are going to like them as much as I do.

I love making bright and colorful nail art, especially pretty florals. I think there aren't many things that can beat a feminine floral nail art! The design that I made today is inspired by Paula from @just1nail. I started my design with making light blue half moons. I used some stickers to help me make the lines perfectly rounded. The gorgeous blue polish that I used as a base is LVX Celeste. Such a pretty color (one of my top favorites from my stash) and it's a one coater!

Then I added a little bit of sparkle to my base. I tend to sparkle up my manis whenever I can and I think it looks extra eye-catching. I used El Corazon Art Top Coat no. 421. For my roses, I used two shades of blue. The lighter one is KIKO. no. 340 and the darker one for shading is Cameo Colours Lacquers Monday. I made the flowers with a thin nail art brush and at the end to add extra depth I used a white polish for some highlight. These roses were actually quite tiny, as I had to fit around five of them in a row, so I had to be very precise.

I finished off my mani by adding bright green leaves. I think floral designs always need leaves! They contrast so nicely and bring balance at the same time. Everything looks so much more alive and vibrant. I used a bright green from Models Own called Toxic Apple. At the end I added a generous layer of top coat to add some shine.

What do you guys think of these sparkly blue roses?

If you are a fan of bright colors, pretty florals and love nail polish (duh!), please visit my website Paulina's Passions. You are going to find plenty of floral designs over there, as they are my favorite ones to make. You can also connect with my via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or Pinterest. I post there frequently and I love to connect with my followers.

Thank you again Lucy for having me here. You are such an inspiration for so many of us and it was a pleasure to write a guest post for your blog. I hope you enjoy your holidays and will come back to us soon with more stunning nails! See you, Paulina

Thank you Paulina, what a beautiful manicure! I'm so glad Paulina has joined this year's guest bloggers again and I hope you'll follow her because she is a great inspiration for nail art :)

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
