Hello Nail Snailers! 

My name is Jacquie, or Littlemonsterx14, of Claws Up! I am thrilled to be able to guest post for Lucy during her nail-ban hiatus.

I have loved those gold nail studs as soon as I first saw them. I thought they were so classy and elegant, and I knew I needed some. There were a few online, but on a limited budget, I didn't want to pay for shipping. I love how popular nail art has become recently. It makes it so much easier to get supplies.

On a routine shopping trip to CVS, lo and behold, I found studs!  On tops of that, the studs came with a really neat picker-upper.  I usually use a doting tool to pick up little nail art bits, so It was nice to have a tool that's meant for that.  I was so excited to finally try out all those different nail looks that I have needed studs to create.  This was my first time using nail studs so I wanted a look that was easy, but still made a statement. I love the look of covering the entire nail in studs, so I knew that was the first look I wanted to try with my new studs.

I also wanted to quickly comment on this nude polish. This Lippmann came in a set of mini's that my mom got for me. I have been looking all over for the perfect nude for the longest time, and I think I finally found it! The whole time I had this polish on I kept glancing at my hands thinking my polish came off, but it just was the perfect match. I'm so happy I found the mannequin-hand polish I have been looking for!

The Line Up:

Deborah Lippmann in Fashion
My new nail studs and picker-upper

I was super happy with how my first time using nail studs came out! I loved the mix of simplicity from the nude combined with the bold, statement-making nail covered in gold studs. This little vial came with tons of studs, so I can't wait to see try out even more styles!

What do you think of my studded nail and nude look? What other looks should I try out with my new studs?

Thanks again to Lucy, and all of you lovely readers, for letting me take over her corner of the blogosphere today!

Claws Up!
