pueen - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

I have a last design that I've prepared for Halloween and despite posting it a bit late I think you still might enjoy it ;)

Here I've opted for a dark, vampy base with stamped spider and nets. It's a simple look to create and it's not too extravagant. Let's have a look at the final design and how to recreate it!

Spider & Web Nails: Simple Stamping Nail Art feat. A England In Robe And Crown

How to create this look:

Step 1 - start with clean and dry nails and apply a coat of your favourite base coat. I'm using OPI Natural Nail base coat.

Step 2 - paint the nails with two coats of A England In Robe And Crown and let dry for few minutes.

Step 3 - stamp the spiders in the middle of the nail and spider web in a half-moon style. I've used Pueen Halloween Party 01* stamping plate, A England Excalibur RENAISSANCE and Pueen HD Chunky clear stamper*. The clear stamper really helps with an accurate placement of the stamp.

Step 4 - seal the design with your favourite top coat. In this case I've used Revon Gel Envy Diamond top coat.

Pueen has sent me this Halloween Party 01* stamping plate full of Halloween designs. Some cover full nail, some only a portion so it has a good selection. I love the simplicity of just having the spider web half moons and spider accent nails and also how gorgeous is the subtle holo effect that peaks out of that sexy vampy polish?! I loved wearing these nails so much! What do you think?

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I'm back from a short holiday break in Czech Republic so I've been very quiet this week. In the light of this week's horrific attacks I wasn't going to post any more nails BUT I refuse to feel and act defeated, scared and depressed. I will not stop doing what I love and since some French ladies in the nail community already expressed that they do not wish to see 'Pray for Paris' nails I will respect that and post something neutral I've prepared last week before I left England. So I will not further modify this post and will post it as it was originally intended.

Today's manicure combines different textures and I've created it a while ago. Unfortunately it took me ages to edit the video tutorial so I couldn't show you just yet! But good news is - it's done now and there is a tutorial!

I have been trialling different texture nail art manicures in the past few months and this lavender manicure is the first one. At the time I still wore rounded nails on my right hand so to precede your questions - no, I did not change my nail shape completely ;)
