Valentines Day - Final Round

Well if Ryan Gosling hasn't rung you for a date for tomorrow by now, it might be time to face facts that he isn't going to call. But that doesn't mean you cant have a fabulous V Day. In the words of two very wise souls you should just "Treat yo self!". Ryan if you're reading this..... I'm totally free.

The red is China Glaze- Ruby Pumps. One of my all time favourite red glitter polishes. To do this design I put 3 big dots of white paint in a line down my nail then dragged a toothpick straight through the centre of them all. With your base coat do one layer and let it dry completely  Then add another thick coat, but don't let it dry, quickly dot the white on, then drag the toothpick. I will be using a pin the next time I do this to see if I can get a more defined drag line.

The accent nail is Konad white special stamping polish. I used the Dash 20 stamping plate. Both of these can be found here.

Valentines Day - Round 2

Only 8 days left to find your knight in shining armour to whisk you away to your happily ever after.....in the meantime I hope you enjoy the 2nd of my Valentines Day manicures. This one is a little more traditional with pink and hearts a plenty.

The pink is Barry M - Strawberry Ice cream. The black is China Glaze - Liquid Leather. 

On my thumb I used Daring Digits - Blackberry Square which is quickly becoming my most loved indie. I'm a sucker for anything black and white and its got squares in it....oh yeah. For my pinkie I used silver metal studs. It was so hard to get a good picture of them, they are super shiny and amazing and I will be using them again very soon. You can get the studs here. The little heart is this gorgeous stick on black opal mini gem. Its a black holographic colour and I cant stop staring at it! They come in a set with 9 other colours and you can get them here. 

The hearts on my index and middle fingers were stamped. Index was MLS-05 plate and the hearts in a row were created by Natalie from NailCraze NC 01. I think I totally fluked getting them in the middle of my nail. The plate stamped beautifully and I cant wait to try the butterfly prints and the feather.

Valentines Day - Round 1

So its almost that time of year again. Some may say its commercial or sappy, but like every girl on the planet when February 14th rolls around, we all want to be the one who gets flowers delivered to their work....am I right? Whilst that's very unlikely to happen to me, I'm lucky that I have a husband who showers me with love everyday of the year and for that I'm very thankful. Love you Frankie Baby...smooches!

• China Glaze 'Pool Party' - Neon pink creme
• China Glaze 'Flip Flop Fantasy' - Neon Coral creme
• China Glaze 'White on White'

On my thumb I stamped with CG Pool Party using BM-303. It changed colour a little and went a more mellow pink. On my ring finger I stamped with Konad White and BM-303. The BM 300 series is available here. On my pinkie I used white striping tape to create the lines, the coral polish underneath sort of showed through the white tape making it look like a lighter pink, but its actually just white tape.

So I hope this first VD Mani finds you with someone to smooch.

If anyone is keen on the two pink colours we have them in stock now.
