Bleeding Heart


One of my favourite things to put on my nails is some type of plaid with some interesting accent on top.  While 90% of the time, the interesting accent is a snowflake or flower, I decided to add hearts for Valentine's Day; here's what I came up with!


Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension Mystery Proto 334, no top coat.


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped lines using image from Lilic's A08 using MdU 64.


Added hearts from MoYou London Love Is....12 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Added a small heart using MdU 64 and the same plate on the pinky.


MoYou London Love Is....Collection-12.



Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  Had to be quick to take a picture as I suspected this was one of those purple polishes that bleeds through the stamping.


That was the right call because the white stamping turned a pale lilac very quickly.  It was still pretty!


 Thanks for looking!

Hearts!

I have so many Valentine's Day mani's to share, that I'm starting now with my favourite this year.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of my favourite blue creme, China Glaze Blue Raspberry Ice, no top coat.


Topped with Dreamland Lacquer Wrangled At The Rodeo, one thin coat.  This is one of my favourite polish combinations!


Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Stamped using image from ManiologyM401 using Painted Polish Blanc Slate.


Stamped using image from OM-H03.


The heart stamping wasn't very opaque, so stamped it again, trying to stamp exactly where it was first placed.  Didn't do too bad of a job!


While I thought this was pretty cool, I decided to stamp a smaller heart from the same plate on the larger white heart, using Painted Polish Stamped in Saltwater.


There was even another smaller heart and I thought briefly about stamping it on the blue heart with white polish, but I thought I had better not press my luck as these had all lined up pretty good, so finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.


Also, this mani is for #MusicManiMonday; Heart...What About Love?
