Hello lovelies,

Today's post is about possibilities and the pearlescent cellophane that's rocking the nail world right now. The shattered glass look is very hot right now but have you thought about what else can be done with it? I've already tried half-moon manicure which worked well (coming soon).

Today I'll show you a different look where I've cut the cellophane into squares (or as close as I could get to a square shape) and then arranged it on the nails.

My head is buzzing with ideas about all the possibilities, shapes and sizes that can be done with the cellophane, this is just one of them! I have applied the cellophane squares over two coats of Models Own GlitterGel Starburst and then sealed them with two coats of topcoat.

You can buy different shades of the cellophane in Born Pretty Store which ships worldwide. You can also use my code LUHH10 for $10 off your order.

Starburst* is a charcoal black base with gold-green and blue sparkle. The formula was nice and not at all chunky like I would expect. It flowed nicely and application was so easy! I applied two coats which were fully opaque and quite glossy. I applied a coat of topcoat to get a lovely smooth finish.

The Models Own GlitterGel Starburst is a new colour and formula from the GlitterGel collection so I'll tell you a bit more about it. It contains five brand new sparkling glitter shades. All polishes have thicker and shiny HyperGel formula and the wide brush for easier application. They are described as party season collection so whether you'll wear them at Christmas party or New Year's, you'll be in!

The GlitterGel collection is out right now and available at www.modelsownit.com, in Bottleshops and in Superdrug.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I'm SO EXCITED to share today's post with you! The secret is out - I have designed a stamping plate in collaboration with Bundle Monster! My own plate, yay! This collaboration has started back in April so I had to keep this under the wraps and believe me, it wasn't easy!

I was surprised and honoured that Bundle Monster approached me with proposal to design my plate and I was even more appreciative after I found out there are only 10 of us doing this project (I hope there will be more in the future though)! I instantly started to think about the direction in which to take the designs. I've decided to translate my love for florals and patterns into this plate. You can find some hard-to-do zentangle patterns, a kaleidoscope-like floral design, pretty feathers and more! Many of them are great for creating stamping decals or for the leadlighting technique.

Without further ado, this is my plate:

It's so nice to see my blog name on the plate as well! The plate itself is numbered BM-XL209 and it has 12 different designs in XL size so it nicely fits longer nails like mine. It is etched very well and each one stamped beautifully for me (stamped designs below with B. Loves Plates B. a Twilight stamping polish).

Above is just a basic monochrome stamped manicure ready for some leadlighting. I've used Morgan Taylor Chrome Base and Hit The Bottle As Black as Night stamping polish.

What Bundle Monster says about the plate:

"It is so easy to fall in love with this ultra feminine collaboration nail plate created by Lucy's Stash (BM-XL209)! Get gorgeous details and fine lines with ease using this girly nail plate. We are uber excited how this XL stamping plate came out, and us at Bundle Monster and Lucy's Stash hope to see you rocking these designs on your newest nail art manicures soon!"

I've of course done more than just one manicure with 'my' plate so here's next one where I've tested this plate a bit more:

I have opted for full feathery design where the background peeks out through the silver. Again, the image stamped beautifully and I had absolutely no issue which makes me really happy! For this manicure I have used three 'Ard As Nails polishes in Juju, Blogger Girl and Bex Smiles. They all had very nice formula and worked well for the gradient background. Then I stamped over it with China Glaze Millennium. What do you think of the result..and my collab plate?

You can buy Bundle Monster + Lucy's Stash BM-XL209 as a single plate for $4.99 or in a set of five for $15.99 (currently sold out, expected restock mid-November). Thank you Bundle Monster for such amazing opportunity and stamping plate!
