Hello lovelies,

 

Today's post is very special because it's a Secret Santa edition of Paint All The Nails nail art challenge! Usually we vote on a theme and then do nail art inspired by the theme or technique but because this month is special, that's not what's happening. The point of this challenge is to recreate a nail art from randomly drawn blogger who also joined this challenge. I will be doing manicure inspired by ......Christine from Serenity Nails, a talented Australian blogger! Christine is a great swatcher and she ventures into nail art pretty often too!

 

Christine has done a review of Dance Legend Aquarelle polishes and she's done quite a few ledlighting designs with them. I got inspired by one of the geometric stamped design (then last one in the review). I didn't have the exact design so I improvised and also added two accent nails. Here's my manicure:

I really liked all the different designs Christine did with purple and blue Aquarelle shades and this was my attempt inspired by her creations. I didn't have the exact stamping plate and patterns so my manicure isn't exactly the same but I hope she won't mind. I've used the Uber Chic plate 2-01 for both stamped images. I stamped with Hit the Bottle As Black As Night, really good black stamping polish and the white pattern is stamped with Essence polish. Then I filled the geometric patterns in with Dance Legend Sisley and OPI Purple Perspective. Lastly, I sealed the nails with Seche Vite topcoat.

 

So that was my nails inspire by Christine from Serenity Nails :) Don't forget to check out Christine's blog or Facebook and Instagram and to find out whose manicures were other participating bloggers recreating, click on the manicures below in the link-up.

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

 

 

Hi everybody!

Today I'm reaching into an 'archive' :) This manicure is few months old now and it's a combination of three polishes. Firstly I've applied two coats of Deborah Lippmann Razzle Dazzle, then one coat of BeYu Brilliant Shiraz and in the end I've added gradient glitter Essense Make It Golden.

Have a great Jubilee holiday!
