Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  No matter if you celebrate with the one you love, or it's just another day, have a great one no matter what you do.  To me, it's just another day with the one I love lol.  We are past our celebrating days and it will be a quiet day at home just like any other day.  The past few years, we've also given the same VDay cards to each other as we don't see the sense of spending money unnecessarily or going out to eat when we can enjoy what we have at home.  That might be a downer to some, but that's how it is after 33 years.

Started with a base of skittles:  Bluebird Making Pour Decisions (thumb), KBShimmer Before & Aster (index), Zoya Lena (middle), Morgan Taylor Powers of Persuassion (ring) and Pahlish The Archer (pinky), no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Valentines Hearts!

I did these nails last year and as you can see, my nails were really,  really short as they were just starting to grow out.  It didn't stop me from doing my nails though and I have oodles of archived mani's to share when they were this short, which I hope is also inspiration for those who have short nails.

Started with a coat of Cuticula Never Sleep Again (June 2024 PPU Rewind) on top of two coats of L'Oreal Rouge Amour, no top coat.  Ohhh, my nails looks so rough here.  Going out on a limb sharing them but not everyone has perfect nails all the time and I think it's important to share everyday life as not everyone has manicured nails all the time as well as the fact that nail art can be done on short nails too!

It's also #MusicManiMonday, and as Valentine's is all about love, music is Love Me Do by the Beatles!

Blue Hearts!

I'm in love....with these blue heart nails!  I could wear these all year long! And in so many different colours!  Love, love love!

Started with a base of two coats of Different Dimension ? It was unlabelled so not quite sure what it is.  It may be a named polish, or it may have been a mystery polish as I bought quite a few of them at their last release of polishes.  If you happen to recognize it, please let me know!

Stamped using image from Apipilia Love using a mix of MdU 91 and Painted Polish Blanc Slate.

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!
