Hello lovelies,

So I did glitter placement mermaid nails...AND I LOOOVE THEM! I got really inspired by Laura from Polish All The Nails who has done so many beautiful glitter placement manis that I wanted to do another one too.

Let's check out the nails first...

How gorgeous are they??? I really didn't want to remove them so I wore them as long as I could. I have used opalescent glitter from Hobbycraft store and Barry M Damson as a base. What do you think? Would you wear these?

Also, I'd like to ask for your nomination in the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards, entries accepted til 2nd June. I have been lucky to be shortlisted at the which is very much thanks to you! The awards are open again and I would be absolutely thrilled if you would be so kind and nominate my blog, let's show them that nail blogs are here too! If you like my nail art, tutorials and my work overall, then please nominate Lucy's Stash (lucysstash.com) in the Best Established Beauty Blog category HERE. You don't have to be in UK to nominate my blog. You can live anywhere in the world! Thank you x

Have a lovely day ;) Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I've got here another new SpaRitual polish from the Quest collection called Beyond.

About the collection:

"Six dramatic and highly textured nail lacquers offer a complex though optimistic view of what we might find as we head out into the world. Multiple layers of glitter and color reflect the emotions we face as we set out on our own personal journey to find abundance, knowledge and acceptance. Join us. Be fearless. Quest Glitter Special Edition Collection"

Beyond - black jelly base with silver hex glitter and round and hex magenta glitter. The black jelly base isn't hugely pigmented so I have applied one coat of Beyond over black polish. It applied lovely and without troubles and you can see how much glitter you get in one coat. It dried a bit gritty so topcoat is a must.

Beyond is such a lovely mix, it completely suits the name. I think it is better layered because if two or three coats were applied I think the surface would be too gritty. I've also applied matte topcoat and it looked really cool but I had some white specks in the matte topcoat which destroyed the look so no pics, sorry. Try it for yourself ;)

SpaRitual Quest collection and other polishes are available at Sparitual (UK), Feelunique.com and SpaRitual (US). 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
