Candy Hearts, Valentine's Day Nails

Usually I end up doing the same type of manicure each year for Valentine's Day so this year I wanted to do something different. Each hand has five different colored candy hearts and the only difference is that the left hand is for people in a relationship and the right hand is for all of the single people. So for the left hand I have, "Heart Me," "Kiss me," "XOXO," "2 Cute," and "Be Mine?' On my right hand I have "NO," "Stop," "EW," "Bite Me," and "Cats Only." I'm really happy with the final product, how each hand looks the same from far away but once you start to read all of the messages you can clearly see a difference in tone between the two hands. 

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day, regardless if you are in a relationship.

Neon Green Newsprint

Newsprint nails are always my quick and easy go to manicure when I don't have something already planned out. My previous newsprint nails, here and here, gave me some inspiration, mostly with the floral part. I started with a neon green base color and then I added some white, yellow, and purple flowers. I finished with a top coat to seal the deal! I'll do Valentine's Day nails next week so that I'll have them come Sunday.

Deck of Cards Nail Art #3

This is the third time that I have done Deck of Cards nail art ( Here are the first and second manicures) and each time I do these I am always amazed at how much art I can fit onto ten tiny little canvases. I think all and all, this manicure style might be my favorite design. This time around I did my left hand with spades and clubs and on my right hand I featured hearts and diamonds as well as the back side of a card. I had so much fun when creating this manicure and will definitely do these nails again when they grow out and I have more room for more details.

Psychedelic 60's Manicure

I wanted to do a water marble manicure this week but I didn't have enough colors that were thin enough to be water marbled. Instead I took a bright neon pink polish and clear nail polish and water marbled them together. Starting out with a clean white base I water marbled pink and clear into a little cup and then dipped my white nails into the solution. I finished the manicure by drawing on darker pink triangles on each of my nails and dotting white dots inside the allotted area. I'm surprised with the result and really like them! 
















My drawing turned out to be a really good background for this manicure since it fit into the trip 60's vibe that I was going for.
