Hello lovelies,

I have been playing around with the Models Own Disco Pants Collection and I've created this Colour Block Nail Art using all shades and black.

This manicure was quite a process. I've had a design in my head with colour block upper part of the nails...just like this:

...but it just didn't seem quite alright so I've decided to do the same to the bottom half of the nails and leaving a gold band in the middle...

...now that looks much better, doesn't it? And of course I have incorporated a disco ball into the pictures ;)

The polishes I've used for this manicure were Models Own Paradise Garage, Copacabana, Studio 54, Roxy, Sound Factory and Cirque Memento Mori for the black outline.

I've also had the Models Own nail art brush set at home for a while and I've used one of the brushes to paint this design as well. The set consists of four brushes, two doting tools and white striping tape and can be purchased here.

Funky! I loved this design, it was busy, cool and very retro! This is the second nail art design I've done with the Models Own Disco Pants collection, the first one is here and more is coming!

Disco Pants polishes are priced at £4.99 each and they launch online at http://modelsownit.com/ on Friday, October 17th, in all UK Bottleshops on Saturday, October 18th and in Superdrug stores nationwide from Wednesday, October 22nd 2014.

Have a great day! Lucie x

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
