Allo polish Pals!
How are you all did-ling? I hope you
had an awesome weekend, did you get up to anything fun? The weather
here isn't permitting much outside fun but I had a cosy weekend, I've
got stuck into a good book and I kind of can't put it down. Its a bit
of a Bridget Jones type thing, very relatable!!
Since I'm not really into the whole
Valentine's smoosh I decided to do another sort of.. anti Valentines
day manicure. No glitter, no pinks and red and NOPE to heart shape
chocolates..
I used my new camera for these
pictures, she's taking some getting used to as well as my light
backgrounds. I'm not too sure, what do you guys think? I hope they
are crisp and sharp.. The focus situation is really odd.
I wish I hadn't done the 'nope' in the
style I did, I don't think it looks too good at all but I really
didn't feel like starting over..
For this design I used my trust OPI
'Nail Envy' base coat (entirely not needed for ORLY Breathable
polishes but old habits 'n' all.) and once dry applied two thin coats
of ORLY's 'Almond Milk' as my base. I then proceeded with white
acrylic paint, painting the letters of the word love all across my
nails. I then added the dripping chocolate and heart shaped
chocolates. I sealed the entire design in with my ORLY Glosser top
coat and eventually my Barry M matte top coat.
What do you guys think of this
manicure? Do you feel Yeeees or noooope about Valentines day?
Thank you so much for visiting today,
I'll catch you again on Wednesday for some more nail art fun!
Love,
Ithi
What a funny manicure sweetie <3
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening!

These are the most festive and creative nails I have ever seen. Great job at putting letter on your mail and also, the impressive shadowing on the hearts!
ReplyDeleteJust had my nail done yesterday and chocolate nail is my first time to see it. what a creative cool idea for V day!
ReplyDeleteWow. Your nails are so refreshingly different. I like the color. The heart is my favorite part.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the chocolate drip detail on all of your nails! And I actually really like the style of "NOPE" it's so cute!

Your photos look good Ithi, except maybe for the last one. That one's a tiny bit blurry, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of your camera soon. I'm really not a big fan of Valentine's Day either, it's so over commercialized. Your nail art says it perfectly - NOPE
ReplyDeletelove your looks :) they are always so cute! If it was me I think I would have done the hearts and the drops with like a more vibrant red just for valentine's day hehehe :)
ReplyDeleteThese designs look great for valentines. I love the dripping chocolate effect :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's cute :) I'm not into Valentine's day either. I do think the photos look good. New cameras always take some adjustment.
ReplyDeleteChocolate theme is perfect theme for Valentine day. Nails dotted with chocolate hearts are so lovable. Creativity to adore.
ReplyDeleteI love these nails, you never fail to amaze me with your talent. I like how you turned this into being about chocolate, we all deserve the love of chocolate right?
ReplyDeleteLovely manicure Ithi! I slightly prefer the glossy version ;)
ReplyDeleteIn total honesty, Valentine's day is a bit indifferent for me (except for manicures, which I really like doing!) but in real life, it isn't a big deal. First of, Valentine's day is not even a thing in my home country. Everyone is celebrating carnival right now! Here in Switzerland it is not a big deal either. But I must admit it is nice to have an "excuse" to slow down and save the date to spend some alone-time with my hubby, which I really look forward to!
I love the Almond milk and dripping chocolate. Very creative design.
ReplyDeleteLove the dripping effect and the hearts. Lovely manicure as always. Though I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day. All the hoo-haa around it just turns me off.

These are so cute!! I've already been craving chocolate...this doesn't help! Looks yummy LOL. And I think your new camera did a fine job!
ReplyDeleteLoving the detail that you always place in your nail designs. The patience! How long have you been doing this?
ReplyDeleteI really like this nail design. I like the dripping chocolate and the lettering in white. I’m not anti-Valentines, but think it’s pretty commercialized. Besides, February 15th is better because chocolate is on sale! 😆
ReplyDeleteHaha, you know now that I'm definitely "nope" about Valentine's day... also nope to heart-shaped chocolate (although other shapes are fine by me :D ). I love how soft colours you used - they really have positive vibes, like curling up with a blanket and a cup of tea, they make me feel cosy.
ReplyDeleteWhat book are you reading? :)
Love this!!!!
ReplyDeleteYep to the chocolate (whatever the shape, chocolate is chocolate after all) but for me personally yep to Valentine's Day as well but without all the commercialism please, a sweet little note is as good or even better than a huge gift ;)
