NotW: Dolly Valentine ♥



Tsubasa-inspired nails! Basically copied hers besides the index nail, which is something simple I came up with on my own. Yay 3D roses and rhinestones

Base: Butter London Knees Up
Polka dots: E.L.F. white
Bow: Wet 'n Wild black
Rose: eBay
Rhinestones: Love & Beauty (Forever 21)

I made truffles/chocolate things this year as well but totally forgot to take pictures...so hopefully I'll remember to ask my boyfriend to take some for me so I can post them up, ahaha. I'm quite proud of the white chocolate ones!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

NotW: Leopard Spots

Base color: Butter London Diamond Geezer
Gold spots: Sephora by O.P.I. Rumba Romance
Black: Wet 'n Wild Black

My first time doing the cheetah/leopard spot design and I really like it!! But my black polish started getting all dried and goopy halfway through, so I had to throw it out before I could draw spots onto my right hand's nails. :( Will buy a replacement today~

I think my ring finger looks the best. I just can't stop staring at my nails today... Whoever came up with this design should get a gold star. Or win the Internet. Or whatever. \o/

Happy Valentine's Day ♥ NoTW

Did two manicures for Valentine's Day because my friend was kind enough to let me do her nails as well ♥

On my nails:
Base - Sephora by O.P.I. Dear Diary
Tips - E.L.F. white
Hearts - Butter London Knees Up
Rhinestones - Love & Beauty (Forever 21)

On my friend's nails:
Base - Sephora by O.P.I. Handpicked for Me
Flowers - Butter London Knees Up/Sally Hansen Diamond Strength #22 Sheer Bliss
Hearts - E.L.F. white

I finally got the chance to use the rhinestones from XXI Love & Beauty! They're cute. The heart got all messed up though...


Somehow, I did a better job on the heart on my right hand. Go figure, right-handed person does better with left, haha.

My friend's nails!!!! She said she might have an interview near future so I tried to keep it simple.

I actually really like the thumb nails~ I'll be doing dots more often!

I also made a bunch (read: 34) chocolate truffles for Valentine's Day in honor of my beloved~ I'll be posting pictures of those next time. :) They are currently still hardening/being stored in the fridge.

Nails of the Week: Gold and Silver Flurry

Oh gosh, cheesy titles. I wanted to just say "gold and silver" but I thought....I'll probably use gold and silver together again later on, haha.

Base color: Sephora by O.P.I. Looks Like Rain Dear (2 coats)
Tips: Button London Diamond Geezer (2 coats)
Top coat: Sephora by O.P.I. Flurry Up Top Coat (1 coat)

The things I do instead of homework... For some reason though, this combination makes me like Looks Like Rain Dear a lot more than just by itself! Swatches of the holiday collection still coming up. I've been doing once a week because that's how long at least I have to have polish on and not feel bad about wasting. I would love to change my nail color everyday!...My nails and my wallet would hate me.

I love this top coat. It makes everything look so amazing.
