a england - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

I have to confess to something - every time a big holiday comes I have an artist's block and I just can't think of any original ideas. I don't like to copy, I like to create something new and that's hard when you know there is a 'deadline' coming. I have one specifically 'Christmassy' post coming but it just seems to me that everything has been done before :-/

Today's manicure has Winter theme and I absolutely fell in love with the cosy and soft look. I usually don't wear lavender colours as I feel they don't suit me but I loved this look!

Cosy winter nails with a touch of glitter

I have used China Glaze Sweet Hook as a base colour, then added multi-coloured glitter (China Glaze Your Present Required) to all but one nail. I created a snowflake accent finger using Bundle Monster BM-323 and A England Excalibur.

I hope you like it and have a great day!

Hello lovelies,

I don't know if you know it but there is a Lady Gaga Fame perfume promotion running in Walmart and I was asked to write a post and create an inspired manicure. I thought the Fame bottle is a great inspiration so I've agreed :)

The bottle has interesting gold cap reminding me something of off Startrek. The bottle is made out of clear glass but the perfume itself is black so it creates this chic black & gold colour scheme. I went to my local department store to take a picture of the bottle together with my nail design and I couldn't resist to try out the perfume. I was a bit afraid that the black colouring in perfume would stain but it came out completely translucent. The scent is floral with hints of fruit.

Lady Gaga Fame Perfume Inspired Nail Art with TUTORIAL

I'll be posting this picture on my Instagram account with hashtag #WalmartReachForFame to get a chance to be featured on Walmart's website. You can do the same :)

There' also a promotion running where you can get $2 off of selected Fame perfume sizes. To get your voucher visit Walmart page. Also you'll be able to listen to two exclusive tracks when you purchase Lady Gaga's newest release ARTPOP!

Let's have a closer look at my Lady Gaga Fame inspired manicure...

I really liked how the manicure came out and wore it for the next four days. I've chosen black & gold colours to compliment the perfume and I have used A England Camelot, gold nail foil and water-based topcoat (this was a prototype, unfortunately I don't know where to buy it).

I've prepared a video tutorial as well and I would really appreciate your feedback on it :)
