Ok ok ok, where to start.... V-Day mani and why I had three D: My first attempt was an idea I got from Pinterest (find me there!) but.... bad things happened. This one I attempted the day before V-Day, which was an all around terribad day! It was supposed to look like hearts stacked on each other and.... well we will get to that.
My second attempt was at a gradient mani, which started out looking terrible but by the end I was in love! Unfortunately this one was lost to smudging while I was organizing the stash /facedesk.
My final mani looked good while I left it simple, but then I went and tried to stamp it and....... well yeah -_- I should have put a topcoat over my base color so the stamp would stick better. And of course, I was so busy and distracted that I never took pictures of my final mani! Darn!
So here are my two previous <3day manis. First up was my gradient that I improved until I loved!
(more after the break)
From thumb to pinky I used OPI "Sweetheart", L'Oreal "Penthouse Pink", OPI "Pandamonium Pink" (which is much more lilac in real life), L'Oreal "Butterfly Kisses", and OPI "Ate Berries in the Canaries".
As soon as I had them on, I thought 'oh man, wtf am I doing? Mixing cremes with shimmers and pinks with berries.... gah!' and was about to wipe it off when I spotted my OPI "White Shatter"
*insert Grinch grin here" >:3
Mwahahaha! Suddenly it looks like a real gradient! To finish it off, I added a coat of L.A. Girl "Sparkling Peach" so it would smell sweet and delicious! It also added a little sparkle and some umph! that I was looking for. Perfect!
Until it smudged. Sad face.
However, not as sad as this failmani...
I didn't even bother editing this because omg disastrous. Ick! please focus on the gorgeous holo which is OPI "DS Divine" instead of those icky fingers.
My final mani was OPI "Animal-istic" which was a perfectly glowy v-day red! No pics, I'm terrible.
And by terrible I mean DISTRACTED by the AWESOME I got in the mail!
Julep Maven box and yes, that IS A KATE SPADE ROSA!
(angels singing)
Ahhhh, sorry sorry it's not nail polish, but my maoma sent this precious to me! She knew I had been wanting it since I first saw it last year and she snagged it for me on sale! AMG THX MAOMA <3
Onto my Maven box!
Such pretty wrapping!
Nail Burrito, the tastiest of tasties!
(more angels singing)
This month I got some of their AMAZING cuticle oil in the most GENIUS of bottles- roller ball! What?!? Why is no one else doing this? So handy and it has already made a difference on my cuticles.
My nail colors were Marisa and Oscar, look at the amazing color on Marisa (the blue one)!! Sorry for flash, I was still giddy over my new bag xD
Ok, I think that's everything from V-Day. The only other thing I might make note of is the orders at Llarowe I was hoping to make still haven't come through. Soon, sooooon I hope! *needs Connect the Dots in the worst way!*
<3 and sunshine everyone!
