Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is the perfect holiday to do some super girly manis that you wouldn't normally do.
A few weeks ago, I posted a Valentine's Day watermarble mani, but I have 3 more festive manis for you. If you're following me on Instagram, you've probably already seen them. There are some quick video tutorials on my instagram as well.

Valentine's Day Water Marble

Last week I won Pipe Dream Polish's A Night in Vegas giveaway. I received them very quickly and was so excited to start playing with them. Here in New York we were snowed in from the blizzard, so what better time to do a water marble mani! I knew I wanted to do something for Valentine's Day and I came across a great tutorial from MySimpleLittlePleasures.

Loreal Neons : Punchy Lychee

The Rite Aid near me finally stocked up on Loreal Neons. I picked up 4 of the 6 colors: Acid Watermelon, Punchy Lychee, Fluo Azur, and Flashing Lilac. The 2 colors I didn't get were: Banana Pop and Energetic Tangerine.

Cupcake

My sister brought back some Kiko nail polish from her stay in Europe. 2 of them were from their cupcake collection. So of course, I have to use them for cupcake nails!

Bad Nail Day

Earlier today, I saw these awesome nails by @lauramerino12 on Instagram. I attempted the nail art and it turned out quite lovely. When I applied my top coat, it smeared so badly, I removed them.

Pink Hearts For Valentine's Day

I wasn't able to find heart glitter nail polish at any of the beauty supply stores or drugstores. So I decided to get some craft glitter from Michael's. The hearts I bought are from a brand called Recollections. 

I applied 3 coats of Essie Fiji to all my nails. I placed my hearts using a dotting tool and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Invisible. Here is a video tutorial.

Pandas And Hearts

I have to show you all how gorgeous Butter London Trustafarian is. It's a holographic green nail polish. Goes on so smooth and only needed 2 coats.

Purple Sponging

In my attempt to do purple gradient nails, I ended up with something that looks like a mix between tie dye and who-knows-what. The only saving grace is that the colors are so lovely together. At least the heart on my ring finger is adorable. I followed her gradient tutorial. My nails remind me exactly of my 7 year old's purple tie dye shirt he wore for his Kindergarten ceremony. 
For my base color, I used Am I Making Myself Claire? by Nicole O.P.I. I sponged on Deep Purple by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear. The heart was a tape cut out using It Starts With Me by Nicole O.P.I. 

Coincidence?
