Manicure Monday


Hello everyone! Thought I'd show you a quick post about the nails I did last night because I am really happy with the way they turned out. Apologises that they are a little chipped in places, but what can I say, I'm a busy lady ;)

I used Models Own 'Southern Lights' and Essie 'Bobbing for Baubles 
For the studs I used the Seventeen nail studs I purchased at the weekend (featured in my post here). They were an absolute bitch to get on, I used nail glue and tweezers to try and get them in the right place and after a long and hard struggle they did eventually stay put. Phew.

Finally, I would like to say a HUGE thank you to the lovely Kelly from http://basicallykellyblog.blogspot.co.uk/ for her wonderful shoutout! Thank you Kelly!

  1. Haha those studs and jewel add-ons are so frustrating sometimes!! Turned out great tho! Really like the two accent nails - sometimes I'll do my ring fingers another shade lighter or darker than my other ones, or glittery, but I really like the stud accent :)!

    1. They really are, this was actually the first time I'd used any sort of nail gem, fingers crossed with a bit of practice it will become easier! That's a good idea, think I may try that next time! Thank you for checking my blog out :) Lucy x

  3. I just stubbled to your blog today and I absolutely fell in love with it. I love your nails. I totally agree that putting studs is quite a pain in the ass, It just wont stay put... -_- but luckily, yours looked better than when I did mine..
