pink - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

So today I am joining a nail art challenge/link up after a long, long time! The theme is negative space to which I couldn't resist! Joining me in this challenge will be many talented nail bloggers to which I'll link at the end of this post so you can check their manicures too.

My negative space manicure is based on basic triangle shape and two different colours:

Negative Space All The Nail! Chevron Nail Art feat. 'Ard As Nails & TUTORIAL

I don't do negative space very often because I don't like to show my naked nails much so I hope you like it ;)

The main role in this manicure is played by the new 'Ard As Nails* polishes! I finally got to try this British indie brand and I've used two shades - medium pink Gregory's Girl and grey creme Slated. They were well-pigmented so it was easy to work with them, I'll do a review later.

I've also used a striping tape, sellotape, nail art brush, OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and my trusty Seche Vite top coat.

And here's how you can create this nail art look:

If you do recreate this, then please use #lucysstash or tag me in, I'd love to see your recreations!

I hope youv'e enjoyed today's post and don't forget to check out some other negative space manis from other ladies:

Hello lovelies,

As you can imagine I was cracking my brain as to what to do on my nails for my wedding. Today I want to show you a test manicure I did. Glitter gradient is simple yet so pretty and I wouldn't be ashamed to wear this as bridal nail art. However as you know I have chosen to go with stamped manicure in the end.

While I was wearing this test manicure there was a beautiful pink peony blooming in my mother-in-law's garden and it was the perfect fit!

Bridal Nails Inspiration - Romantic Glitter Gradient Nail Art

I have used three coats of OPI I Theodora You because it's quite sheer. Then I've added the glitter to the base of the nail and spread it towards the middle, creating a gradient. The glitter polish is beautiful Shimmer Polish Alice.

I've previously created a glitter gradient tutorial so all you have to do is change the polishes ;)
