Quick Hearts for Valentine's

Here's a quick and easy Valentine's Day mani I did recently. 

Started with a base of two coats of Jade Diamond Scarlet, no topcoat. Glass fleck is one of my favourite finishes (they just seem to glow, not to mention that I find generally they have easy cleanup!) and this beauty doesn't disappoint.





Stamped using white Konad special polish using VL009 on all fingers except accent; accent is VL001.



Topped with SV to finish.  Topcoat dulled the stamping ever so slightly but hardly noticeable IRL.



While this was just sheer luck, I love the placement of the little itty bitty heart at the cuticle on the middle finger....I couldn't have planned it better if I had have tried lol!

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

Light Over Dark

This weeks FB Adventures in Stamping challenge was light stamping over dark.  Here's what I came up with.



Started with a base coat of New York Summer Hot Purple, three coats, no topcoat.



This is two coats for comparison.  I probably could have left at two coats if I wasn't taking pix as it did have pretty good coverage IRL and the VNL wasn't as obvious.



Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Hex Appeal.



This is Hex Appeal bottle pix.



Stamped with light gray Konad special polish using VL 001.  I chose this image specifically so the glitter from Hex Appeal would be visible underneath.



While I didn't mind the look of this, I decided to add random flowers on top using pink Beautiful Scratchers special polish using XL F; topped with SV.  Even with the additional flowers, you can still see the glitter underneath which was cool!



I got my bottle of KBShimmer from Harlow & Co. as KBShimmer does not offer international shipping of nail polish.

Hope you had a great weekend....thanks for looking!
