Hello lovelies,

You and I have an exciting week ahead of us! Maria from So Nailicious has organised a second Nail Art Fashion Week and I'm one of the hosts! If you'd like to know more, check out the announcement post with all details and how to join!

The theme of today is Favorite fashion designer and I chose Emanuel Ungaro. I'm not a massive fashion fan and I don't follow designers unless it's for nail inspiration but I've seen some pretty awesome clothes from Emanuel Ungaro over the years. Well, this year at Paris Fashion Week, Emanuel Ungaro presented this amazing bold flowers piece and I knew instantly I want to recreate it for Nail Art Fashion Week! If you'd like to read more about this collection and see all the other clothes, visit Vogue.

This dress falls into category 'Fall 2016 Ready-to-wear' - what do you think of it? Pretty awesome, right? I love bold prints and I love a good nail art challenge so this one was perfect :)

For this nail design I've used one coat of Cirque Memento Mori, OPI Matte Top Coat, Seche Vite Top Coat, acrylic paints and nail art brushes (Pure Color #9 and Cotman watercolour brushes from local art store).

I've done matte version of this manicure and I like it so much more than the glossy one! It also triggered something and now I'm 'mattifying' every manicure :D

Don't forget to check out manicures from all the other co-hosts: Maria from So Nailicious,  Victoria from

Manicurator, Emily from Very Emily and Anja from Lieve91.

You can follow the challenge and see all the manicures created each day by checking out the #NAFW2016 hashtag on Instagram and Twitter. We will be reposting our favourites on our Instagram accounts so join the challenge, create some amazing looks as suggested by the schedule, include #NAFW2016 and maybe you'll be the one featured on my IG account!

Stay tuned for tomorrow, when I'll show you nail art inspired by SHOES!

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

How are you all doing? It's already March and it got me thinking? What about all those New Year's resolutions? A big portion of resolutions revolves around weight loss and exercise and exercise is an inspiration of today's nails.

Bundle Monster has released a set of exercise-themed stamping plates last year (reviewed here) and I've done another manicure with them :) This time I've combined the Bundle Monster designs with a colourful background achieved with Morgan Taylor Chrome collection polishes.

I've started with Models Own Chrome Turquoise, a blue metallic polish. Then I've painted brush lines and strokes with Morgan Taylor Sunset Yellow Appliqué, Ultra Marine Appliqué and Royal Appliqué so that they overlap each other in places.

Next, I wanted to protect my skin before stamping so I've painted Bundle Monster Poli-Peel latex barrier around my nails. Then I've stamped over the colourful background with Bundle Monster Work It! plates BM-XL172 and BM-XL172 and sealed the nails with Seche Vite topcoat. 

So that's my exercise-themed manicure! What do you think? Let me know in the comments...

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
