Valentine's Day Nails--Day 11

How was everyone's Monday?? Mine was ok! You ready to see today's nails?? Here ya go...

How to achieve this look:

-I started by using striping tape to get straight lines for the black tips. The black polish I used was Cult Nails Fetish

-Then I stamped the hearts using Sally Hansen Presto Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-202. Next, I filled in the hearts with a nail art brush to make them darker and fuller

-Lastly, I added some red heart rhinestones

I loved how the gold looked with the peachiness of Prelude to a Kiss!

I'm really fond of today's nails!

How to achieve this look:

Three coats of Revlon Girly on my pointer and middle finger
Three coats of Orly Charged Up on my ring and pinky finger
Then I used Sally Hansen Presto Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-202 to stamp over the purple


I hope you guys have been enjoying these designs....4 down, 10 more to go! :)

Soft Shade Love!

I used the rest of my OPI NYC Ballet collection! And I paired them with some really pretty glitters...wanna see?! OK!

OPI Barre My Soul sandwiched with Sally Hansen Jewel Overcoat Ring-a-Ding!

I started with three coats of Barre my Soul and then one coat of Ring-a-Ding and topped it off with another coat of Barre my Soul. Everytime I look at my nails they remind me of cotton candy. I love this look!

Ring-a-Ding is gold, copper, and rose colored hex glitter! I almost didn't buy it because I thought it was just another gold hex glitter, but I took a closer look and saw the three different shades. It's really pretty!

OPI You Callin' Me a Lyre? with Spoiled Jewelry Heist on top.

I did four coats of YCMAL first and then topped it with one coat of Jewelry Heist.

So, the first one reminded me of cotton candy and this one reminded me of cupcakes lol I think maybe I think about food too often haha!

Just like Ring-a-Ding, I almost passed Jewelry Heist up also. Then someone on instagram posted a mani with it and I was like, I need this polish! lol

OPI Care to Danse? with Sally Hansen Jewel Overcoat White Veil on top!

Care to Danse? took five coats to be opaque and then I did one coat of White Veil.  These OPIs dry fairly quickly so it really doesn't bug me that they need a lot of coats. I'm in love with them!

This combo was so elegant!

Any of you into the Jewel Overcoats and soft shades like I am?!

Striping fun!

Now that finals are over, I actually have time to play around with nail art and try new things! Here is a fun manicure that I did the other night:

TADA! I'm so proud of them lol

After I did them I realized they could be worn to a UCF game because its all UCF colors! Go Knights!

Here's what I used: Avon matte in Black as night as my base, Sally Hansen Jewel Overcoat in White Veil, and striper polishes in white and gold! I accidentally included my black striper polish in this picture even though I didn't use it for this mani. :P

This was a really fun mani to do and I enjoyed sporting it lol! I'm like obsessed with playing with the striper polishes now so expect more striped nail art in the future!!

What kind of nail art are you guys loving lately?!

Spreadin' the love Sundays!

Today's love goes to my new kitty, Marvin :)

So I did a kitty inspired manicure!

I started with three coats of Hot Ticket Dodge a Bullet. It's a really cool dark grey with silver/blue/pink shimmer. It kind of reminds me of SpaRitual Sacred Ground. I chose this as the base because its a nice dark grey like Marvin's fur!

Here's the final mani! For the accent nail I stamped with Sally Hansen Silver Sweep and used Bundle Monster Plate BM04. I topped the rest of the nails with the new Sally Hansen Jewel Overcoat in Multi-Faceted.

The new jewel overcoats are awesome. I love this one espcially because it not only has that cool opaque black glitter, it also has some cool opaly blue glitter!

Here's a better look at the cool pieces of glitter in Multi-Faceted! (sorry for the dry cuticles)

Here's the baby himself <3

Thanks for reading!

Spreadin' the love Sundays!

I was sad that I missed this post last weekend so I made sure I had one put together for today!

Today I want to show some love to my oldest and best friend, Missy.  We have been best friends since we were in preschool. No matter how long we go without seeing each other, we both know we're always there for each other! As I also mentioned in my very first post she's the one who introduced me to this nail blogging world :)

When thinking of what reminded me of Missy, nail polish wise, I instantly thought of gold nail polish. Once when we were shopping she said to me, "I want to buy all the gold nail polishes in the world!" lol

So here are a few gold nail polishes I own that I thought she'd like :)

Orly Glitz. This two coats.

Sephora by OPI Rumba Romance. Three coats.

Hot Ticket Goldfinger. two coats.

Sally Hansen Gilty Pleasure (one of Missy's favs!). Two coats.

Milani Signature Gold. two coats.

Do any of you love gold nail polish? If so, tell me your favorites!
