Pink Roses Stamped Manicure


Good evening everyone!  Another late night post from me...what can I say?  I'm a total night owl, plus I don't have to work in the morning.  Don't be too jealous, I have to work Saturday and Sunday so tomorrow is my mini-weekend!  

I'm still practicing my stamping but it's going so much easier these days.  In case you missed my last post on it, roughing up your stamper with a nail file and then cleaning it with acetone/polish remover makes a world of difference! 


These are some different rose designs from a plate I got from Born Pretty Store, #QA55.  I wanted more of an abstract design, so I layered a few stamps on each nail.  I'm kind of loving the outcome!  The base polish is Wet 'n' Wild's Wild Shine in Tickled Pink and I used I Love Nail Polish's beautiful Molly to stamp.  The roses have a nice bit of holographic sparkle when the light hits them.


I'm not really much of a pink girl usually, but I wanted to try something girly and sweet and I'm pretty sure I accomplished it, no?  :)  

Thanks so much for reading!

The Inevitable Valentine's Day Manicure


Howdy, folks!  Happy Valentine's Day!  I have to be honest, I'm really not a fan of this "holiday".  In part because I believe that if you love someone, you don't need the candy and card companies telling you which days you should tell them how you feel.  And also because I'm usually single on VDay lol  I typically refer to Valentine's Day as S.A.D.; Singles' Awareness Day.  Even though I do happen to have a boyfriend this year, I'm still not all into the hearts and chocolates.  That being said, it's still a reason to throw some nail art on and take one more polish off of my unworn pile...yay!  

So, without further ado, the inevitable VDay mani:


I picked up Sinful Colors Truth or Dare the other day at Walgreen's.  It's a really pretty raspberry creme and I'm happy to have a chance to try it out.  I'm wearing 2 coats here under everything else.  My thumb is also sporting Nicole by O.P.I. in Step 2 the Beat of My Heart, pink and lavender holographic hearts with holographic micro glitter in a clear base and my middle finger is adorned with Milani Jewel FX in Hot Pink, a mix of holographic, hot pink and deep fuchsia hex glitters in a clear base.  I threw some flocking powder and beads in a heart shape in there for good measure, as well as some X's and O's with a nail art pen.



It's actually kind of a fun manicure, even if I don't like to admit it lol  I do wish everyone a great Valentine's Day, just don't buy into the retail crap!  Thanks so much for reading!
