Cling Film Heart

Here are my third and final Valentine inspired nails.

I'm not 100% sure I can remember the base colour...probably Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream. I painted Barry M Fuchsia on top before dabbing it with ball of cling film (or plastic wrap) to create the effect.

I painted on a heart shape with a nail art brush and Barry M Black, then filled in the rest of the nail to create the cut out heart.

My Bloody Valentine

Here's my alternate Valentine's Day nails! 

Base colour is Barielle Back To Nature. I freehanded on the drips and the heart with a striping brush and  China Glaze Winter Berry, finishing with an NYC top coat.

Now I can't get "My Bloody Valentine" by Good Charlotte out of my head. -_-

Aqua Hearts Gradient

Since it's February today, I thought I'd start the month off with a Valentine (kind of) post...I'm really not one for soppy Valentine's day rubbish, but I love an excuse for a theme ;)

For this, I started with a base of Barry M Turquoise, and used Essie Blanc to sponge on a gradient. I topped it with Aqua Hearts by Candy Lacquer, which is shredded aqua foil and adorable little red hearts in a clear base.

How cute is Aqua Hearts!

Valentine's Nails #2

Happy Valentine's Day! Or happy Tuesday if you prefer. I've been slacking lately, between horribly broken nails (I am still sporting pieces of tea bag) and lots to do at home I haven't been in the mood. It was lovely to come back and see some new followers though! :) I think I'll start planning my next giveaway, I just need to clear up a few things with shipping first...apparently the USA does not appreciate me trying to post things to them! 

Here is Valentine's mani number two.

I used Barry M - Shocking Pink for the base, then sponged on some Calvin Klein - Hint Of Pink, followed by some Models Own - Pastel Pink, to create a gradient. 

I then stamped on a design from Bundle Monster plate 205, using Konad Special Polish in white. I added a coat of Barry M - Iridescence, then finished by slicing up some Fimo roses to make it that extra bit sickly :P

Sometimes I just can't resist a bit of Hello Kitty...

I hope everyone had a nice day either consuming lots of chocolate, or burning your ex's clothes in a bin. :)

Valentine's Hearts

I did this quite quickly earlier today, so that is my excuse for the hearts being less than neat and looking slightly like tiny bums. My cuticles are looking better though right? 

Base is Models Own - Lili's Pink, a super cute pink shimmery foil. 

I then did the messy hearts with Models Own - Utopia and a nail art brush. I brushed on a layer of Models Own - Juicy Jules and finished by outlining the hearts with a nail art brush. 

My ring finger is the one with the piece of teabag on it. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius! Though I imagine it will snap off completely before long. Being such a tea lover though I don't mind carrying a piece of tea around with me all day long :P
