Valentine Hearts!

I have a few Valentine's Day manis to share before the day of love arrives!  As in the past, I try to do some untypical holiday mani's to shake things up a bit!  This is one that, believe it or not, started by me observing an army green car on my way to work and I decided right there that army green nails were going on that night! That turned into a Valentine's Day mani with some unusual colours; here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of Butter London British Khaki (creme on ring and index), Painted Polish Lotus Love (middle) and Different Dimension Mystery Prototype 90 (thumb and pinky).  

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Kelli Negri KN12 (thumb) and Bunny Nails HD-B on the rest of the nails using FunkyFingers Dark Knight.

Added random little hearts using image from UberChic Love & Marriage 02 using MdU 46; also added a couple more rows of hearts on the pinky and middle using same image from HD-B and MdU 46 and FunkyFingers Dark Knight.  Also stamped same image from KN 12 using MdU 46 but just added the heart in the middle on the thumb.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

I love how this turned out; I also love how you can take some not so typical Valentine's Day colours and turn it into a Valentine's Day mani!

Hope you're having a great weekend; thanks for looking!

Digit-al Dozen Does Gradient; Day 3

This is probably one of my most favourite gradient mani's EVER!  Purple!  Holo! What's not to love!  Well, I guess you might not be too impressed if you're not a purple or holo lover lol but it is right up my alley!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with two coats of Polish II Another World; shown with no top coat.  I haven't seen much posted about these Polish II's but I get them at local supply place at a great price so have a bunch of them! 

Added coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC.

For the gradient, sponged on Colors by Llarowe Fall-o Me.  This was the October 2015 polish of the month.  In hindsight, I'm not sure why I top coated before sponging.....but I did.

Added a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC before stamping.  

Stamped using an image from UberChic Love & Marriage-01 using Funky Fingers Guesso.  I picked this image so just enough stamping while still allowing the cool base to show through.  I put different pieces of the image randomly on the nail for added interest.  

This isn't the best swatch picture but it shows the amazing rainbow of colours in Colors by Llarowe Fall-O Me so post worthy!

UberChic Love & Marriage-01

Finished with a coat of Girly Bits What A Rush QD TC to finish.
