It's Raining Hearts...

hearts


This was one of the looks I sported for Valentines Day this year.  I'll be honest and say I really don't get super into Valentine's Day.  I'm not big on pinks or hearts or girly girl type looks like that!  But I wanted to have some fun with it anyway.  I wanted it to look sort of like it was raining hearts from the sky!  It kind of works two ways as well because the hearts look like rain drops upside down and then right side up it just looks like little hearts and lines. :) I hope you all had a great Valentines Day and gave and received lots of love!

Love outside the lines...

This is a quick mani I did for Valentines Day.  It's been nice out here lately which is out of character for this time of year! So I was feeling very Spring-like and wanted to use brighter colors.  These are my Color Club Poptastic colors again.  I'm in love with that collection.  A good friend got the set for my birthday last year and I literally use them all the time.  I also love that I've found this technique for making them more pastel so that now I can use them as neons and pastels! Anyway the idea of this manicure is scribbled hearts that are sort of scribbled in with color too!  I love the way it came out!!  What's on your nails for the holiday?



Colors Used:
Color Club Chelsea Girl, Twiggie, Poptastic, Pucci-licious and Almost Famous
Zoya Raven and Purity
Models Own Nail Art Pen in Black

Happy Valentines Day!!

It's Valentines Day!! I hope everyone has a chance to celebrate with the person (or people!) they love the most today! As for me, I will be working. :( But I'll celebrate another time. :)  Today is also the start of the Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge. And it begins with an apt theme: Valentines nails! I did these nails in class today and I had a plan for them which changed about 15 times ove the course of an hour and I ended up with these.  The red stamping on my accent nail smeared a little when I topcoated which is weird because that never happens to me with Seche Vite...but they'll only be on a day so I suppose it's not that big of a deal! I also stamped the hearts in the moon area AFTER I had painted on the moons which in retrospect was the hard way of going about things!  But it came out rather nice I think.  Especially considering that Valentines Day nails are NOT my most favorite kind :/.  At any rate...these are done with OPI Red, China Glaze Dance Baby, Revlon White on White, and konad colored polish.  Enjoy and everyone have a safe and happy Valentines Day!
