Hello lovelies,

I've got some more awesome Shimmer polishes to show you! Shimmer polish is well-known for its pretty glitter bombs and I am always amazed to see more and more amazing combinations! So here they are:

Karen - purple, blue, silver and holo glitter in a lightly tinted base. Karen is girly purple with flashes of blue glitter and looks great layered over pinks and purples. I have applied one coat over Dermelect Moxie. The glitter density is very nice but not dense enough for full coverage in two coats. It dries fast but I needed topcoat to smooth the surface.

Liana - black, dark blue, holo, silver glitter in a grey tinted base. This pretty blue and black glitter combo has just the good amount of gold. The bottle is packed with glitter and it could possibly be opaque in two coats. I have chosen to layer it instead though, I have applied one coat over Zoya Rocky. It applied well and dried fast and slightly gritty.

Amy - light blue, red, pale gold and green in a light pink tinted base. This glitter would work nicely with many different colour bases. I have layered one coat over Zoya Micky. It is also great for gradients (as are most of Shimmer polishes). It applied well and dried fast.

Erica - pea green, holographic, gold and teal glitter in a clear base. This manicure evokes St. Patrick's to me, it has lovely flashes of green and gold. I have applied one coat of Erica over Zoya Josie. It dried fast and gritty so I've applied thick coat of topcoat.

Linna - green, teal, red, gold, orange and blue glitter in a clear base. This colour combo is mostly teal with hints of green and red glitter. I have applied one coat of Linna over Dermelect Renegade. One coat provided nice glitter coverage. I didn't experience any problems with application and it dried fast.

So that was another batch of Shimmer Polish swatches. They all have pretty much the same formula that dries fast and applies well. I have plenty more to show you so stay tuned!

Hello lovelies,

hope you've all had a great weekend, mine was great! I sooo enjoyed the Wimbledon final and I must say - what a match! Hats off to both players for a great game in such heat. My favourite - Andy Murray won and even though I'm not British I rooted for him for the last year or so, he's such a sweet & hard working guy! Have you guys watched?

Plus, there's still Jacava's competition on for whole AW 2013 collection!  Check out how to enter HERE and remember that you've seen it at Lucy's Stash!

Well back to the nail art! I've got for you a design I haven't done before and I've created a tutorial as well. This is Jacava London Candy Floss and Mont Blanc with stamping, striping tape.

This is how you can recreate this design:

1. Paint your nails with the base colour, topcoat and let it dry. Then apply striping tape diagonally
2. Tape off two opposite triangles
3. Stamp over the uncovered part
4. Take off the tape
5. paint the opposite triangles with white nail polish (Jacava Mont Blanc)
6. Remove the striping tape and let the design dry
7. Re-apply new pieces of striping tape
8. Cut off the excessive striping tape
9. Topcoat the design
