tutorials - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

hope you've all had a great weekend, mine was great! I sooo enjoyed the Wimbledon final and I must say - what a match! Hats off to both players for a great game in such heat. My favourite - Andy Murray won and even though I'm not British I rooted for him for the last year or so, he's such a sweet & hard working guy! Have you guys watched?

Plus, there's still Jacava's competition on for whole AW 2013 collection! Check out how to enter HERE and remember that you've seen it at Lucy's Stash!

Well back to the nail art! I've got for you a design I haven't done before and I've created a tutorial as well. This is Jacava London Candy Floss and Mont Blanc with stamping, striping tape.

This is how you can recreate this design:

1. Paint your nails with the base colour, topcoat and let it dry. Then apply striping tape diagonally
2. Tape off two opposite triangles
3. Stamp over the uncovered part
4. Take off the tape
5. paint the opposite triangles with white nail polish (Jacava Mont Blanc)
6. Remove the striping tape and let the design dry
7. Re-apply new pieces of striping tape
8. Cut off the excessive striping tape
9. Topcoat the design

Don't forget to tag me if you recreate this design, I'd love to see it!

Hello lovelies,

I haven't done a gradient for a while so here's one :) I have used the new Zoya Stunning polishes Yana, Thandie and Darcy and it kinda came out as a 'Sunset' gradient. I wanted to make it special so I've added Ninja Polish Sticks 'n' Stones. It would have ended there but then I thought that the nails really lack something special, an accent nail. So I've removed the nail polish from ring finger, done a two tone gradient with Yana and Thandie and added Hex Jewelry charm.

Well, ehm... the charm says "Fuck you!" and I really wanted to use it! :D A while ago I've been lucky and I've won Hex Jewelry's Twitter competition for a set of these swear word nail charms. They fit the nail curve great, I'm co happy they are not flat!
