Oh Cupid, It's a Valentines Day Nail !!

I wanted to do a special Valentines day nail, so here it is. I did two different versions. The first is using the Konad stamping system and the second done by hand. Hope you enjoy this V-day nail tutorial.

I started with a light pink bast coat (N.Y.C. 108A Polyester Pink Creme). Then I stamped the background pattern with a white polish (Confetti 011 wedding white) using plate m57. Then every nail got a diferent design. I found most the designs from my fauxnad set of plates and only one from konad. So from left to right I used fauxnad plate m09, konad m78, fauxnad m23, fauxnad m07, and fauxnad m41 for my thumb.

For the second look, I stole some ideas from Anna's last post. I used the same tape technique to achieve this look. I started with a hot pink bast coat (Sinful Colors 851 Boom Boom). Then I applied small little dots using a grey nail art pen. (Nail star Two-way pen from ebay)

After letting this dry completly. I took some scotch tape and placed it slanted across my nail. Then I applied the other color onto my nail (Ulta Flamingo). Then I carefully removed the tape and allowed to dry.

For the last part of I took (Sally Hansen x-treme wear in celeb city) and painted a slant going the opposite direction. I toched up the dots with my nail art pen and added a little heart to each nail.

Hope you enjoyed this post. Which one do you like better? Whats your plans for V-day?

roses are red ...

So this is the latest with my nails... I'm still trying out my new plates and loving every design. This is a pretty rose design I found, and I decided to try different colors instead of one solid color for the roses. Its simple to do and looks great. I used a red polish and 2 pink polishes to achieve this look. In no particular order I just dabbed the different polishes onto the plate and scraped it across and ended up with this different color roses for a cute nail. I also used a white polish as a base and put a pearly finish ontop to make it glisten in the light. This first picture was taken outside and the second was inside.

This is done using plate m65. The polishes I used are confetti in wedding white for the base. White pearl from sation for the top base coat. Then for the roses I used a mixture of NYC broaway burgandy frost, konad hot pink, and NYC poleyester pink creme. And I finished it off with konad top coat.
