Nailed Valentines Day Manicure

Happy V-Day for all my readers :) I wish you all to love and to be loved. And I love so much all of you , thanks for sharing with me my Nail-art Journey.
So here is manicure i made for this Valentines day. I used purple glitter as a base, because this is my husbands favorite color, he is really crazy about purple.
For the design i used acrylic paints, but this time was trying to achieve a pin up "poster looking" effect. I also painted the ring to compliment this design.
I think i totally nailed it, i did not even expect the result to turn that cool and i hope my readers like it too.




Guess who is watching you? Oh yeah - this is him - love of my life my sweet Orange monkey Marshall :) he just came by to say hi...


This is Right hand, got a little lazy to paint a full set, and decided to go with only middle and thumb. It is really hard for me to paint thin lines with my left hand

KEEPS GETTING BETTER

Here are some of the nails I've done this past week. I went to a Young Nails imagination nail art class on Monday. I was inspired by some amazing nail techs there. I can't believe how much more I want to learn and improve but I am really enjoying the journey!







Conversation With a Crunch


Hey all!! Happy Valentine's eve! In honor of tomorrow being Valentine's Day, I did conversation heart nails! :) I had them on the list, but they were also a request from reader 'Ms. Moment'. :)



I used OPI Gargantuan Green Grape matte for the thumb, China Glaze Lemon Fizz for the index, China Glaze Peachy Keen for the middle, essie Lilacism for the ring finger, and American Apparel Palm Coney Island for the pinky. For the lettering, I mixed American Apparel Palm Coney Island with China Glaze Salsa. Topped everything off with two coats of Essie Matte About You to get that chalky candy finish.

*No Conversation Hearts were wasted in the creation of this nail design, they were all eaten.
