Hello lovelies,

So today I am joining a nail art challenge/link up after a long, long time! The theme is negative space to which I couldn't resist! Joining me in this challenge will be many talented nail bloggers to which I'll link at the end of this post so you can check their manicures too.

My negative space manicure is based on basic triangle shape and two different colours:

Negative Space All The Nail! Chevron Nail Art feat. 'Ard As Nails & TUTORIAL

I don't do negative space very often because I don't like to show my naked nails much so I hope you like it ;)

The main role in this manicure is played by the new 'Ard As Nails* polishes! I finally got to try this British indie brand and I've used two shades - medium pink Gregory's Girl and grey creme Slated. They were well-pigmented so it was easy to work with them, I'll do a review later.

I've also used a striping tape, sellotape, nail art brush, OPI Natural Nail Base Coat and my trusty Seche Vite top coat.

And here's how you can create this nail art look:

If you do recreate this, then please use #lucysstash or tag me in, I'd love to see your recreations!

I hope youv'e enjoyed today's post and don't forget to check out some other negative space manis from other ladies:

An InLinkz Link-up

Hello lovelies,

It's always exciting when a new line of nail polish comes on the market and today I want to show you the new Accessorize range! Accessorize had nail polish range in Superdrug for few years but now they introduced completely new look - bottles and colours. There are 39 new colours in total (incl. top coat and matte top coat) and they range from pastels and brights to glitters and metallics.

The lovely people from Accessorize kindly sent me 34(!) colours and the matte and clear top coats. Today I just want to show you the colours and the cutest bottles ever! So here they are:

So many colours to choose from, right? I feel a bit overwhelmed right now but I'll try some out as soon as possible, I'm very curious! I really like the wide range of pastel shades and the three basic metallics.

I've had a play around with some of the polishes and bunch of pearl necklaces and some cute photos came out of it:

The bottles are completely unique, I haven't seen these ones before. They are round and faceted with metallic copper-coloured lid and white logos and I find them so cute and pretty! Each bottle holds 9ml and retails for £5 or €6.90.

The brush in this range is kind of regular, not wide, not thin but somewhere in the middle. They are a bit stiffer so when I quickly tried the polishes I used a light touch to avoid dragging. But I'll be testing the polishes and brushes properly later.
