Allo polish Pals!
How have you been? Today's post is
going to be a little different as my manicure is inspired by love so
I'll be including a background story as to why I felt it was
important to do something 'lovey'. I also figured that its about time
I stop calling my Partner my 'Partner' so I'll be referring to him
now as Mr Bravo (Johnny Bravo) which seems cute.
This time last year I began speaking to
a wonderful man I met on facebook. I had had him on my friends list
two years before we actually ever exchanged words; I honestly wish I
had been plucky enough to talk to him sooner because I had met the
kindest man I've ever met. When my father had his heart attack he was
there for me in every possible way despite us being in different
countries. It was this time last year I was wishing him Happy
Birthday on Skype. I could never have imagined that by December I
would have boarded the plane for my first ever trip abroad alone to
Holland when I would finally meet him. Everything was fantastic and
if you have been following me for a while you'll know that when I was
supposed to return back to England for Christmas I didn't, I stayed
longer. Finally it was time for me to return home and it was one of
the hardest things I've ever done. I knew that when I next saw him I
could not leave him at the airport. When I returned back to Holland I
officially stayed. Now it is one year on and I am the happiest I have
ever been in my life.
I can not thank my Partner enough for
all he has done for me.
Now onto the manicure! I started off
with two coats of Barry M's 'Baby Pink' and applied a generous coat
of Barry M's 'Rose Quartz' glitter on top. Using W7's Black I used
the brush to carefully make abstract heart shapes. I did the same in
the centre of the hearts using the gorgeous metallic pinky-red from
Sinful Colors 'Dancing Nails' (A gift from Mr Bravo that seemed to
suit perfectly!) I used a small dotting tool for the dots and little
black hearts and finished off with Model's Own Pro Matte topcoat.
I'm not the happiest with these nails I've ever been but my love
nails where so important to me I kept starting and restarting over.

What do you think of this
manicure? Have you ever been inspired to create love nails for
someone special?
Enjoy the rest of your day!

DeleteYour mani is cute (so cute!) but your love story is even cuter! I am very happy for you and hope you will stay happy forever! I haven't done a "love mani" yet but I sometimes chose a red or dark nail polish because I know my husband loves it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is so kind :) I would love to see your love-mani! I think your husband has good taste!
DeleteThe cutest love story ever! <3 It's weird some time how life turns out, we never now in advance what will happens or how the future will be.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this nail art and how smart you've made the hearts, I haven't seen that before. :D
Thank you Gelic! <3 I agree, I guess it just goes to show how much things can unexpectedly change for us :) I asked Mr Bravo if he looked like hearts and his response was quite strange lol, he said they look more like squishy real hearts..ick!
DeleteAww this is so cute! Mr Bravo is an excellent name I feel and the nails are so cute! :)
