Hello lovelies,

It's time for another instalment of ABC Challenge! You can read everything about the challenge in this post from Emily from Nail Polish Society, who is hosting it :) If you'd like to see my previous challenge post, check it out here.

This week's letter is B and my theme is BLUE for this beautiful Color Club gel polish. I didn't want to have just a plain colour (I'll save that for another day) so I've taken inspiration from some pretty amazing nail artists and added a white 3D lace design.

Let's have a look first..

Firstly, I've applied a thin coat of Color Club* Foundation + Primer, followed by two coats of Bright Night gel polish and Seal + Shine Top Coat. Then I've followed a tutorial from @s.surkova. The product I've used for this is a 3D nail drawing UV gel because I didn't have s.surkova's own product. This cheap gel worked great too. The white dots were done using Color Club French Tip gel polish.

If you'll be purchasing anything from Color Club UK, you can use my discount code STASH15 for 15% off.

I wanted to do this 3D lace on my nails for ages. I've already practised on a nail wheel so this is not my very first design. It does take a little bit of practise just to see how the product behaves but it not a difficult technique to learn. Would you like to see a video tutorial in the future?

You've probably noticed my beautiful new rose gold rings* - they are from Luna Pyxis, an online store that sells jewellery handmade in South Korea. I fell in love with their products straight awayso when they approached me if I'd like to try some of their rings, it was a no-brainer. Right now they have a free shipping for orders over $50 and I'm all over that, getting more jewellery!

This first ring I'm wearing is X Criss Cross Ring which is an adjustable ring with lots of crystals. The other one is Rectangle Cubic midi ring also in rose gold colour and features one big crystal. How gorgeous are they!?

I hope you've enjoyed today's post and will consider joining the ABC challenge :)

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hello lovelies,

I've decided to join another nail art challenge - ABC Challenge!

What is the ABC Challenge?
"The ABC Challenge is a nail art challenge inspired by the letters of the alphabet. The goal is to complete all of the 26 letters. But don't let that deter you if you can't participate each week, or if you want to join in late. Post your manicures that correspond with the schedule on your social media with the hashtag #nailpolishsocietyabc. If you have a blog you can upload the Inlinkz to you post and add you link."

You can read everything about it in this post from Emily from Nail Polish Society, who is hosting it :)

My A is for Abstract. I've chosen abstract as a representation of the letter A for this week. Today's nails are inspired by a picture of a painting that I saw on Pinterest. I tried to find out the original author but I was not successful. If you know the artist, let me know!

I've started with a base coat and two coats of Color Club French Tip. Then I wanted to imitate the rough textured gradient we can see in the picture so I sponged on the nail polishes. The first colour I've used was Models Own Everyday Grey, followed by Models Own Sarong Wrap, Zoya Thandie, Models Own Red Lustre, Models Own Brunette Red and Purple Bandana. Then I've added little bit more white over the grey to give it some depth. Next step was the spiral. I've use black acrylic paint and thin nail art brush.

Lots of polishes, right? But I think the result was worth it. I really like the painting and also how my nails turned out :) What do you think?
