Forgotten Valentine's Nails!

It seems I did these last year, or maybe the year before, or the year before...can't say for sure now! Regardless, I never got around to sharing!  I don't think these are the best pix but I do like how they turned out; not sure why I never shared them!  I don't have all the info for this either as I've had a couple phone crashes which is where I keep my mani notes but will give as much info as possible!

Started with a base of two coats of Revlon Rich.

Stamped using Messy Mansion MM03.  I can't say for sure which stamping polishes were used, sorry.

Added a few accent hearts.

Top coated to finish.

Ms. Cindy; a little different but still cute!

Awwww, how sweet!

I can't say for sure, but when I look through my pix, I think these were taken in 2014.  Interesting to see what I did back then; I think my photos are better now if nothing else and I rarely have my nails these long anymore just because I think they look nicer a little bit shorter but still do like how these turned out!

Thanks for looking!

Valentine's Day Proposal

I was contacted by Brilliant Earth and was asked if I'd be interesting in doing a mani using the them of love for an upcoming Create a Little Love feature; thought it would be fun idea so agreed!  When sitting down to do the mani, I thought would be more appropriate for the theme than a romantic Valentine's Day proposal?  Here's what I came up with!



Started with a base of OPI My Boyfriend Scales walls on three fingers; Duri Taming of the Shrew on pinky. (I can't recall the pink polish but I know it was a CND; will update later!).  After the white base had dried, did sponging on the same three fingers with the same red and pink accent colours.  Polish on the thumb wasn't the best but at this point, I wasn't worried; it worried as I had premade a stamper decal for it!



Added stamper decal on the thumb from an image on Infinity 07, and stamped using assortment of other image plates; MM03 (pinky), MoYou Landscape-01 (index and middle), Nailz Craze NC 04 (ring on ring) and Handy 57 (lettering on ring) using black and white Konad special polishes.



A closer look at MoYou Landscape Collection-01.





Nailz Craze NC04


Added random hearts using red and white Konad polishes using an image from SdP 78.



Topped with SV to finish.



Brilliant Earth will be doing a feature on the Create a Little Love highlighting various medias with a collage of various bloggers; I'll update the link here when I see it!

Thanks for looking!

Edited June 4 2014 to remove link to Brilliant Earth at their request!

WingDustCollections Ocean Tears

A couple months ago, I was browsing a FB group I belong to and there was a thread were someone had asked for known Canadian indie polish makers.  There were several suggestions and as I read through them, some of them I knew and had already been buying their polishes, but there was one I hadn't heard of, WingDustCollections.  So I wandered over to the WingDustCollections Etsy page and bought a few to try out, including this one, Ocean Tears. 

Started with a base of two coats of WingDust Ocean Tears, no topcoat. 

A bottle pix of Ocean Tears.

This was a mani I was wearing just before Valentine's Day but didn't get around to posting until now so these are V-Day images....plates used were DRK A (pinky and index), MM03 (thumb), BM 311 (middle) and Apipilia P.04 (ring) using Konad white special polish.

Topped with SV.

WingDustCollections is based out of Toronto Ontario; while I had bought these polishes from the Etsy store here; soon after my polishes arrived, llarowe had announced that she was stocking this line as well! 

Hope you're having a great week....thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen, Love and Heartbreak; Day 3

Here's yet another Valentine's Day themed mani I came up!  Is anyone tired of them yet?  I don't even think I'll get all the V-Day mani's I've done so far posted before Valentine's.....this one's kinda lovey-dovey....



Started with a base of two coats of OPI Bride's Bouquet and OPI Red My Fortune Cookie; topped with SV.



Stamped using MM03 (Be Mine wording), SdP 60 (couple on ring), SdP 78 (balloons on thumb), SdP 85 (pattern on pinky) and Big SdP L (images on index and middle fingers) using black, red and white Konad special polishes. I wasn't entirely happy with the way that the index finger stamped so I hand painted it in but didn't do that great of a job unfortunately. Added a few accent hearts here and there as well.



Topped with SV.



On a side note and totally unrelated to Valentine's, I believe the stamped couple here are the couple from Twilight...Edward and Bella...I have the series of books and movies but have never read or watched them...I don't want to watch the movies until I read the books simply because I like to read a book before watching any movie or anything because I find that a lot in the movies get missed or interpreted differently  then the book, but hey, that's just me.....anyway, just haven't gotten around to it yet...some day!
