Allo polish Pals!
How are you all doing today? Welcome to
another weekend, I hope you will have an awesome one!
Today I am chilling after three heavy
shifts at work, I don't think I'll get up to too much, perhaps some
painting and plenty of family time. I'm mostly done with my Christmas
shopping now – thank goodness. I am not one to leave everything to
last minute. Are you feeling prepared? Its going to be super weird
this year going to work on Boxing Day (second Christmas day depending
on where you are from and what you call it.)
A lot of people seem startled that I
have not posted anything festive yet but don't worry, its coming!
Today's nail art is again another one I
created whilst in Holland (there can't be many left now) What I want
to say in advance is... Look how round and stubby my nails look here!
Baha. Yay for shaping them out a little better now.
I'm trying to go back in time to find
any information of use about this manicure.. *massages temples*
Ah.. Yes, I began with my OPI Nail Envy
base coat (the amazing product I credit to my nails not breaking in
about two years) and once dry applied two coats of this black Catrice
nail polish. This polish was not a hit and it did not make it home to
England with me. It was horribly sheer.
Next I applied a coat of my long
deceased Pro-FX top coat and moved on with my acrylics, creating
different and brightly coloured hearts and shading and highlighting
them. I sealed the design in with another later of top coat and later
added Catrice's 'Matte and more' which gave it a really soft pinky
sheen.
While this isn't the greatest nail art
of all time I did like how it looked with the special effect matte
top coat.
What do you think of this
simple design? Have you ever worn hearts on your nails?
Have an awesome day and an even better
weekend, I'll catch you again on Monday where I
will be kicking off the first of my Christmas/winter themed designs.
Love,
Ithi

These look amazing. Can't believe you did these by yourself! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty impressed that you did this by yourself! Like, how do you do both hands? When I do my nails it looks like a child did my right one, ha. And the hearts are cute, I would love to see it with a white base and black hearts, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite nail art that you have done so far! It's something I would love to recreate!
ReplyDeletewow, those hearts have a degradé in them! That's just amazing! love the color choice for the base, that purple is so cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely work and that shading inside the hearts is very beautiful. I would love to do a glossy top shade to it.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute! Definitely something I'd like to wear.
ReplyDeleteWow that's really amazing that you did those freehanded! I love nail art, but I can't even apply the nail sheaths effectively. There is NO WAY I could do something that cool. But, your instructions are incredibly helpful. I just might try.
ReplyDeleteYour nails look amazing! Mine are always short and plain; I'd love a style like yours.
ReplyDeleteYour nails are beautiful! I am definitely not talented enough to do something like this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks incredible! I am loving the freehand hearts this would be super cool for valentines day :) x
ReplyDeleteEach time I check your blog the nail art is amazing! These are super cute and I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteWow!! You really did a great work with your nail art. It's so impressive and you are so creative. I wish I had that same talent and creativity.
ReplyDeleteYes this looks really nice. I love how talented your are. These nails look awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'll be traveling to Holland in a few weeks. However I don't know if I'll be thinking of my nails too much. I do love all the colors and how well you did those hearts.
ReplyDeleteWow...its so nice the nail art. i shown this to my wife, she told me to say a thanks to you. She loves nail art.
ReplyDeleteThose hearts are so cute and girly, would look great even for an every day look.
ReplyDeleteI love these nails so colourful and pretty perfect for a girly girl.
ReplyDelete*still catching up*
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I'm pretty sure my nieces would love to wear these on their nails (so no way I'm going to show them this page before Christmas) and their aunt wouldn't mind either ;)
