Mani of the Day: Valentine's Day Mani!

Today I have a special Mani of the Day for Valentine's Day! I didn't have the chance to do anything super special, but I as happy to use my Bundle Monster Plates! I used plate BM-206 twice to create a double design! I used Zoya Lara for the base color, China Glaze Dance Baby for the first layer of design and Milani White on the Spot for the second stamping.

Valentine's Day 14!

It is finally Valentine's Day and I am sure a bunch of you with be receiving a lovely bouquet of red roses today. With roses as my inspiration, I am super excited to show you my Rose Manicure! Each nail has a different stage of a roses' life, from a bud to a fully blossoming rose, to a dead rose. The stages do not go in order though. I used Orly's Cotton Candy as a base color. I also used red, black, white and green acrylic paint! Acrylic paint can be found at your local craft store, Michael’s and ACMoore.
