Hello lovelies,

You might have noticed that I haven't posted yesterday. That's because I wanted all of you to read my previous post Re: MissJenFabulous aka The Nail Art Thief post. It's an important issue that is shaking the nail community and you, readers need to know who you're following.

On the other hand, today's post is quite cheery I would say. I wanted to create a skittle manicure that would be kind of a tribute to the beautiful skittle manicures that Sammy aka The Nailasaurus does. Sammy had an amazing year (rightfully) and she is a great inspiration! I also had the privilege to meet her in person and she's a very lovely person.

I have done a skittle manicure combining her Nimbus design, polka dot, glitter, studded and stamped nail. Of course the manicure would look so much better on Sammy's short nails but eh, what can I do?

For this manicure I have used Barry M Crush (reviewed here) as a base colour, MoYou Festive Collection 03 stamping plate and OPI Alpine Snow for polka dots. I've also used A England Excalibur in the Nimbus design. The glitter nail is OPI Crown Me Already! and the triangle stud is from Born Pretty Store. You can use 10% discount LUHH10 on your whole order when you shop there.

Well I hope you liked it and I hope Sammy will too, she doesn't know I'm doing this post ;)

Love, Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

Today's manicure is inspired by Thriszha over at Fab Ur Nails Shop. She has posted a colourful stamped manicure on her FB page and I immediately fell in love with it. I own the same stamping plate so I've decided to recreate it. It was my first time doing these stamping decals so the first one on the thumb is not perfect and is smeared a bit. But I loved it so much once it was finished!

I have started by painting my nails with one coat of white polish and then added one coat of China Glaze Dandy Lyin’ Around which is shimmery white. The next step was to add pre-prepared stamping decals (not really sure if they are called that). I have used MoYou London Explorer 03 stamping plate to create those. The plate comes from the Explorer collection and is full of floral images. They remind me of mehndi designs or of some exotic Amazonian flowers :)

I have used the following polishes for the decals:

China Glaze Peachy Keen

China Glaze For Audrey

China Glaze High Hopes

A England Camelot

Zoya Darcy

Would you like to see a tutorial on how to make the decals?

The last step was to add pastel blue studs that I got from Born Pretty Store*. The stud wheel is full of square and round pastel studs, very cute especially for spring designs. Don't forget that you can use 10% discount code LHJ61.

Hope you liked it and let me know if you would like to see tutorial on how to make the stamping decals!

Love, Lucie x
