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 ;)

Things I used for this look:

Zoya Julie* (2 coats)

Zoya PixieDust Stevie*

Pueen nail vinyls*, sheet NV12 (or on Amazon)

Seche Vite topcoat

OPI Natural Nail basecoat

And here's how you can recreate this manicure:

I really like this experiment and I can't wait to show you more of these manicures! Hope you've enjoyed the tutorial :)

Stay safe! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you a simple floral stamped manicure over the beautiful Zoya Thea (reviewed here). I have used white Essence stamping polish and a stamping plate I just can't find! I have a suspicion it's MoYou London but it just vanished so I can't tell you the exact plate. Sorry! I guess the pictures will have to suffice ;)

EDIT: The plate is MoYou London Pro XL 06 (thanks to Deborah for identifying it!)

I loved the look of Zoya Thea and the full-nail floral stamping looked pretty over it too - don't you think?

I'm still very busy so excuse the lack of posts, I feel like I don't have any free time at all. But hopefully it will all get back to normal from September, after the wedding.

You all have a lovely weekend and leave me some lovely comment, I read and approve them all! What are your plans for the weekend? Lucie x
