Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

As you can see my nails are really short and have no shape to them as I am still waiting for them to grow out more, but I wanted to do a Valentine's mani so here it is.

I am not completely happy with it, I don't really like the middle finger but I think it is going to take me a little while to get back into my manis properly as I have had these past few months of not doing them.

First I applied my base coat, I am now using Seche Clear crystal clear base coat. As you saw in my previous post I have now invested in some Seche Vite :)

I then applied 2 coats of W7's White to all nails apart from the ring finger on which I painted just one coat of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Presto Pink.

Once this was dry on the index and little finger I created a gradient using a small sponge and 3 polishes. The lightest polish is Avon's Cotton Candy, then Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Presto Pink and the darkest polish is China Glaze's Heli-Yum.

On my thumb I then used Bundle Monster plate BM-303 and the lips stamp on the right hand side of the plate along with Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Presto Pink.

This hasn't come out as well as I had hoped, I think if my nails were longer it would look a lot better (it is meant to be a heart by the way lol).

On my middle finger I first used a small nail art brush and W7's Black nail polish to creat a large v shape at the tip of my nail and small v shape by the cuticle of my nail. I then filled this in with Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Presto Pink.

Also to my ring finger I added some glitter polish, this is a Barry M Limited Edition polish, it doesn't have a colour name but says 334 on the bottom. I find it difficult to take a picture of glitters showing all the colours that it gives off, but you can actually see some of the colours in the bottle of this picture.

I then applied a coat of my new Seche Vite dry fast top coat, and I think I am in love already. It dries so quick and it gives such a smooth and shiny finish. I will definitely be buying more of this! And that is the finished mani :)
