Valentines Week! My Patchwork Heart

Happy Valentines Day!

For my final Valentine mani this year, I challenged myself and went freehand, and I think it paid off. I really love this patchwork design! I started with a coat of China Glaze Dance Baby on all of my nails, and then added a second coat to my pinkie and index. Once that was completely dry I sketched out the heart and patches using Barry M's white nail art pen and filled the sections in. I used Dance Baby, a-England Briar Rose, Barry M Prickly Pear and Above The Curve Rain Kissed Strawberries. While this was drying I added stripes of white and Briar Rose to the other nails and then went back over the lines separating the patches to neaten them up and add the "stitches". Patchwork hearts. Done.






I hope you've enjoyed Valentines week! I actually haven't, but I've had a rough couple of days and all I want to wear is black. Maybe next week should be moody black week...

Whether you're celebrating or not tonight, have a great evening!

33 Day Challenge day 18 - featuring two patterns!

Morning! 

Today's mani was a bit random for me. I love me a skittle, so 2 patterns in a skittle would normally be my perfect manicure, but I just felt it was a bit garish with ALL the glitter. Got lots of love from people though, so what do I know lol. I used a combination of W7 Gold Dazzle and Sinful Colors Paris for the gold, and the pink and blue are Beauty UK Gel Effects Pink Orchid and Sally Hansen Model Behaviour.




The next challenge is to follow a tutorial, and I haven't found one yet so off I go!
