Hello lovelies,

Happy Halloween! It's the end of the month again and that means only one thing - Nailvengers Assemble post! Since it's Halloween today we'll all be doing some themed nails. Joining me in the challenge will be Sammy (The Nailasaurus), Alice (One Nail To Rule Them All), Allie (Brit Nails) and Amelia (xAmeliax).

I've chosen to do a little different take on drip nails and it looks super cool!

I opted for a stripy look in classic Halloween colours and black drippy stripes. I have used only SpaRitual polishes in Positive Vibe, Solaris, Street Smart and White Light.

These polishes are available at Sparitual UK or SpaRitual US websites.

I've also prepared a video tutorial for you so you can easily recreate this manicure. It will look cool in any colour combination so you could do this for example in red, blue and white, red, white and gold or any other colours to make it themed :)

So that's all from me for today, have a happy Halloween if you celebrate it!

Hi everyone,

Today's post is dedicated to Emily aka Very Emily. She's going through a very tough time and various nail bloggers have decided to do this 'Hugs for Emily' post to show her support and recreate one of her manicures. When I found out about this I knew I wanted to join and send some positive energy Emily's way. I love her blog and manicures so choosing to recreate just one was really hard.

I'm recreating her entry into this year's Picture Polish Blog fest with few modifications. The design is a chevron manicure (zig-zag design?) using Nail Vinyls so that's what I've used as well...

For this design I have used Cirque Dear Dahlia and Midsummer Night from the Kontiki Collection (reviewed here), Nail Vinyls chevron stickers and Nsi Prims Paints acrylic paint in Little White Lies.

And here is a picture tutorial I've prepared for you:

This is how the design looked mid-step before painting the white nail art...

So that's all from me today. Please send happy thoughts to Emily or visit her blog and leave her some nice comment. Sometimes we all need a little emotional support and I love how the nail community can be a great support! If you would like to see more Hugs for Emily posts, search for #hugsforemily.

Have a good day! Lucie x
