Valentine's Day, Part 2

I meant to post this earlier, but alas, I did not.  I am turning out to be a terrible blogger.  But all I can do is fess up and give you some updates.

Crystal Hearts is made up of China Glaze Icicle and Zoya Sarah, both three coats.  I added the various hearts I had in my gemstone collections.  Seche Vite was my top coat.

Valentine's Marble was made up of a base coat of Orly Au Champagne, three coats.  I used China Glaze Princess Grace and City Siren, with Color Club Peppermint Twist.  I used Seche Vite as a top coat.

Valentine's Day, Part 1

Officially I have started my Valentine's Day manicures.  Here are a few.  I will have a few more for you before or on the day (promise).

Sparkle Hearts:
I painted three coats of both Zoya Ali and China Glaze Salsa.  Once fully dried, I hand painted the hearts on each nail and added glitters from LA Splash Cosmetics in Fashionista and Hazardous.  Seche Vite was my top coat.

Love, Love, Love:
Was three coats of Orly Au Champagne and images from Bundle Monster plates BM202, BM09, Konad plate m59 with Konad Special Polishes Violet, Black and Psyche Pink.  A few words were handpainted with China Glaze Liquid Leather.  I completed the look with one coat of Seche Vite.

Marble Hearts

This will be my last Valentine's day manicure (well at least before the day). I have each of my days planned as I'm getting ready for vacation, so time's up! I think this marble turned out pretty well. The hearts may not be too obvious on every nail, but when I say "hearts", you see hearts. As a marble, it was a bit difficult and due to my perfectionist nature, I did re-do a few nails after final inspection, but 14 marbles for 10 nails isn't too bad! I hope you all have someone to share some love with this V-day--whether it be a partner, a friend, a mom, a brother, a pet or a pillow!

Non-Flash:

I painted a base for the marble with two coats of Zoya Jolene, then used the same color plus China Glaze Salsa in order to "marble" the hearts. I sealed the look with one coat of CND Shiny.

Seeds Of Love

Manicure two of my Valentine's day nails. I finally received some of my new Zoya colors from their generous giveaway last month and had to try some. I absolutely love the color of this nude/pink. It was the perfect backdrop to my lovely growing hearts. The first pictures of the full hand don't give an accurate color depiction of Skye, so I added an over-exposed flash picture that is actually pretty color accurate. And I added the last one because I love that it looks like the flowers and grass are glowing. So pretty!

I used three coats of Zoya Skye. I then painted stems and heart leaves with China Glaze Emerald Sparkle. I added glitter grass in LA Splash Cosmetics Immature and painted heart flowers in the following colors: China Glaze Shocking Pink, Salsa, High Hopes, Ahoy, Sexy Silhouette, Something Sweet, Zoya Sarah, Lisa, Jolene and Paris. I sealed the look with two coats of Seche Vite.

Love Is In The Air

Here start my whimsical, love-inspired Valentine's day manicures. I actually will be on vacation over Valentine's day, so I'm starting now because although my nail polish will be with me, my blogging desire will also be on vacation. I picked this glitter up on a recent trip to Ulta and I think it's pretty cute.

I painted three coats of China Glaze Spontaneous and the carefully applied the larger hearts and then the lighter glitter from LA Splash Cosmetics in Red Heart Spangle. I sealed the glitter with one coat of CND Speedey Top Coat and then one coat of Seche Vite.
