Hearties Day

As you know, I'm not a frantic fan of St. Valentines day, and this is a pure personal thing. I'm not going to poor around bullshit about love capitalisation or whatsoever. Kissing couple make me smile, it's just we don't celebrate it with my bf. However, I find this day a great reason to paint some hearties on my nails :D 

And what colour should be the hearties if not pink... on pink background, hehe! So I used 2 coats of China Glaze Something Sweet as base colour - for its shade, not for its name ; ) And then just stamped the hearts with BM-317 plate and Zoya Andi. I wanted to make the hearts red, but I don't have that special stamping red polish... and the usual reds always lean fuchsia/pink when used for stamping...

I did like the result, only the job could have been done more neatly. The patterns did not really want to transfer to the nails, don't know why : {

What are you wearing on your nails for the Valentine's day? :) Tell me! Or spam me with links :)

V-Day

Hello girls! Thank you all for your support and not unsubscribing from me in a difficult moment! :) I'm almost over all this thing, the posts will be still a bit irregular, but more or less I'm getting back to blogging life! :) And St.Valentine's is even more a great occasion to do so :)

For the last years V-day is nothing more for me but an occasion to put a pink polish on my nails and stamp some hearts over it. So I did this time too: 

For some weird reason, for this Valentine's day I'm wearing Essie Guchi Muchi Puchi again - just like last year : ) Actually I realised it only while photographing the manicure. The stamping is done with the help of BM-317 plate and Alessandro Strawberry Daiquiri polish.

HAPPY ST. VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Christmas Nails

Since some years I celebrate Christmas twice per year - it was weird in the beginning, but then I realised that two times more wishes and Xmas dinners and pleasant moments is just better than one : ) So I'm publishing a Christmas post today too : ) 

For me the main Christmas colours are red, gold and a bit of green. A bit of green will follow later and today I'll stick to traditional red+gold. As a base I painted Milani Red Sparkle, a gorgeous red glitter. Very opaque - you can get away with 1 coat already (I applied 2 just for longevity). 

Milani Red Sparkle dries with satin-matte effect, which I rather like. I usually wear it for a day as it is, and then add a layer of top coat. Compare the finish below... 

                                without top coat..                                              and with top coat.

I assume you see the difference : ) Covered with a top coat, this polish transforms into a completely different story: the glitter particles look as if they are lit form within - very beautiful effect. 

And then I decided to turn red sparkles to wrapped gifts nails by stamping them with CG 2030 and plates m59 and BM-317. Not the best result ever, but looks ok from far away : )

And finally, to all those who celebrate it today:
