Hello lovelies,

Today I have some nail art for you! I have seen a beautiful nail art tutorial from Tartofraises on how to create white one stroke roses and I had to try it! I love one stroke nail art but I'm not very good yet but practice makes perfect so I keep trying.

I have painted the white one stroke roses over beautiful SpaRitual Artisan using Nsi Secrets Prism Paints in Little White Lies and angled one stroke brush.

This was not an easy design to recreate and I did have a little practice beforehand on a piece of paper. It is not as delicate and perfect as Tartofraises' design but I still like it. Artisan made a gorgeous sparkly background.

SpaRitual Pause collection including Artisan is available at SpaRitual UK and  SpaRitual US  and at the usual outlets like salons and spas.

Have a lovely day! Lucie x

Hi everyone,

Today's post is dedicated to Emily aka Very Emily. She's going through a very tough time and various nail bloggers have decided to do this 'Hugs for Emily' post to show her support and recreate one of her manicures. When I found out about this I knew I wanted to join and send some positive energy Emily's way. I love her blog and manicures so choosing to recreate just one was really hard.

I'm recreating her entry into this year's Picture Polish Blog fest with few modifications. The design is a chevron manicure (zig-zag design?) using Nail Vinyls so that's what I've used as well...

For this design I have used Cirque Dear Dahlia and Midsummer Night from the Kontiki Collection (reviewed here), Nail Vinyls chevron stickers and Nsi Prims Paints acrylic paint in Little White Lies.

And here is a picture tutorial I've prepared for you:

This is how the design looked mid-step before painting the white nail art...

So that's all from me today. Please send happy thoughts to Emily or visit her blog and leave her some nice comment. Sometimes we all need a little emotional support and I love how the nail community can be a great support! If you would like to see more Hugs for Emily posts, search for #hugsforemily.

Have a good day! Lucie x
