No one is safe!

My brother's girlfriend suffers so much! Poor girl. I keep her from spending time with my brother just so I can do her nails whenever she comes over. Something fairly straight forward this time and quite easy to do, but it looks really effective!

This hasn't been cleaned up properly yet because I'm really bad with that. I don't colour within the lines so to speak. I always make sure to give the cuticles a really good moisturise before I start to help the nail polish come off without killing the cuticles. 

I've used OPI Designer Series - Desire, OPI Designer Series - Sapphire, Color Club - Wild at Heart. Then I used a plate by Bundle monster #21 for the lace pattern with American Apparel - Hassid. 

I don't think this picture does it justice. It looks AMAZING on her nails. I almost wish I had done it on myself (I would have done something similar if the plates had designs big enough to cover my whole nail). 

Single on Valentines? More than enough love in these nails!

As promised I did another Valentines Day manicure. I have now been told that it looks like St Valentine got drunk and threw up love on my nails, haha. Why not go over the top for Valentines? It only comes once a year!

I was totally stuck trying to think of what to do. I was actually going to do a polka dot look. Then I was thinking of bright green with something (because I really like green nails for some reason), but I couldn't decide what. THEN I was thinking of doing a beach scene but with palm trees all broken in reference to the cyclone in north Queensland that is making my work hell at the moment. After pondering this while watching the first 5 episodes of Cowboy Bebop again I thought "Oh My God! Valentines day is on Monday! Duh!" Which is when I actually wrote the last post and had the brainwave of doing this manicure.

The colours I used are China Glaze - GR8 (as the gold base) then various hearts using China Glaze - Ruby Pumps, China Glaze - Purple Panic (neon), OPI - Crimson Carol, Essie - Limited Addiction, Sephora by OPI - Shopping Frenzy. Then I did black outlines using America Apparel - Hassid (I think I might buy myself another 3 bottles of this, haha) and a couple of dots with Sephora by OPI - Rumba Romance. Then a few dotty things that I got in a really cheap wheel from ebay.

Valentines means red explosion

Or something.

So I'll have two valentines inspired/themed nail designs that I'll put up before Valentines. This is the first and was something of an experiment on my part.

So you can see it's not totally even, but it still looks good. I really enjoyed this look, actually. And it's almost easy to do because you can just use the regular brush for the polish. All you need is a steady hand! Another good this is because the thickest part is at the top of the nail it takes longer to start to wear off.

I've used Sephora by OPI - Shopping Frenzy, OPI (Designer Series) - Sapphire, China Glaze - Ruby Pumps.
