Twinsie Tuesday: Valentines Day Nails

Obviously, today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is Valentine's Day Nails. As you know, I love Valentine's nails so this was perfect.

Polishes Used:
-Sally Hansen - Celeb City
-OPI - Alpine Snow
-Misc. OPI Minis

For this look I created some simple stripes, starting with a base of Celeb City. Once that was dry I added some striping tape and popped on my pinks and white! To add the final touch of Valentine's spirit I added the tiny heart on my ring finger.

I can't wait to see what the other ladies have put together for their Valentine's Nails!

AIS - Favorite Color Combo

Happy Sunday Loves! I hope you are all having a great weekend. Unfortunately my husband has been sick and throwing up the entire weekend so our house and plans aren't exactly as happy as they could have been. Anyway, this week's theme in Adventures in Stamping is "Favorite Color Combo". I knew that I wanted to use white to stamp with and I ended up with my go to shade, that was my favorite for as long as I could remember, pink. LOL.

Polishes Used:
-OPI - (Unfortunately I don't have the name of this one!)
-Konad - White
-BM Plate - BM-H18
-HK Girl

Since this these was favorite color combo I decided to try out one of my new BM Holiday plate stamps in this lovely heart pattern; get it? favorite? heart? lol. Anyway, hearts go great with pink and white so i thought this mani was just perfect. The stamp was really nice too (don't mind my wonky ring finger stamping, it was user error not a bad plate lol)

I can't wait to check out all the other favorite color combos out there!

February Nail Art Challenge - Hearts

Yesterday I decided to join in on the February Nail Art Challenge that is being hosted by Samantha of Southern Sparkle Nail Art. I am a day behind but am just going to skip the first challenge. Here is the list of themes.

You know that I love Valentines's Day so this was the perfect thing to join in on! Here are my heart nails.

Polishes Used:

-OPI - Nail Envy

-Sally Hansen - Petal Pusher

-OPI - Red (not sure what the name is...)

-No Time

-Bundle Monster - BM-317

This was a huge pain the butt for clean up so please excuse that. And I was surprised how difficult it was to actually get this image to stamp straight, overall though, I like the look of these nails. They are fun but not overpowering since I didn't do all the nails. 

Stay tuned for Day 3 of the challenge - Glitter!

Let It Snow! Challenge - Hot Chocolate

Yay for the weekend! This week's theme in the Let It Snow! Challenge is "Hot Chocolate". Even though I haven't tried it since the 31 day challenge back in May, I knew I wanted to try a water marble for this theme.

It's not the best, and it has some bubbles but I see a definite improvement since my last attempt which was a hot mess. LOL.

Polishes Used:

-Sally Hansen - White On

-American Apparel - Raccoon

-Sinful Colors - Nirvana

-No Time

This mani reminds me of when you're swirling / mixing the cocoa and milk together to make the hot chocolate. Also, since it's February I added a little glittery heart sticker to stay in the Valentine's Day mood. Hot Chocolate is a good theme for today because it's been cold and snowy lately in Pittsburgh and Hot Chocolate is the perfect remedy!

So I clearly still have some issues with water marbling, so if anyone has any idea how to help avoid bubbles and any great tips for clean up, please let me know!!!

Check out what the other lovely ladies came up with for their Hot Chocolate themed nails!

Super Late - AIS - Accent Nail

Hope all my lovelies are having a good week! So this week's Adventures In Stamping theme was "Accent Nail". I did this mani on Saturday to prepare for Sunday's challenge but other things came up and I never got around to posting these until now.

I have started getting into the Valentine's Day spirit so in the coming weeks I am sure that you will being seeing more sweet, love, and heart type posts. <3

Polishes Used:

-OPI - Nail Envy

-Essie - Merino Cool

-Sally Hansen - White On

-Stamp: BM-317

For this AIS mani I decided to stick to two images from the same plate. It does seem like sort of a lot going on here. But it's fun and I like it.

Here are some shots of Merino Cool all by its beautiful self:

Merino Cool is very pretty on its own and for anyone who may not be ready to take the plunge into the deep end of the pool with polish colors, this is the perfect shade to be a little edgy but neutral as well.

Liquid Lacquer - Baby's Breath & Sound of my Heart

Back to work after the long break! I have the last two Liquid Lacquer polishes from my recent haul. Baby's Breath and Sound of my Heart.

First let's look at Baby's Breath:

Polishes Used:

-Liquid Lacquer - Baby's Breath

-Gelous

-OTD

This is such a gorgeous light blue creme polish with small pink matte glitters in square and hex shapes, in two different shades of pink. This is 3 coats of Baby's Breath and it had really nice application, no issues getting a nice amount of glitter on each nail. This will be perfect for spring and Easter time. 

Now we have Sound of my Heart:

Polishes Used:

-Essie - Cocktail Bling

-Liquid Lacquer - Sound of my Heart

-Gelous

-OTD

Sound of my Heart contains numerous shapes and sizes of purple and pink glitters in a shimmery fuchsia base. The best part of this polish is that it contains heart glitters! I have a close of shot of the heart glitter so you can see. If you want a heart on each nail, you may have to do some fishing but they are super cute and come out every now and then on their own. Isn't this super pretty and fun? 

Which of these two polishes do you wish you had in your collection?

Make sure you are following Liquid Lacquer on Facebook so you can see when Melissa will be restocking.
Also, she will be selling her polishes on Big Cartel moving forward, so make sure to check out her shop here. Next restock will be in early February.

AND stay tuned because I will be having a special treat from Liquid Lacquer :)
