Valentine's Hearts

I know this isn't original or anything, I just wanted to do it for myself and thought I'd share it with you guys, too. Sorry I forgot to take a photo of the final design, I put a glitter polish over the hearts. You can see it in the video though, at this link.

So the base color is a light pink by the Color Workshop (no name for the color). I think I did 2 or 3 coats, since you can tell it's very sheer.

Then, I used a regular small paintbrush and acrylic paint for the hearts, purple and silver. Use whatever you like or have, that works for you.

Snow & Trees

There isn't much snow anymore here in Canada, but we always get more in February/March so I don't think it's too out of season to post this manicure.

Next time I try this design, I'm going to pick a nude polish that stands out more; this one you can barely see against the orange.

Here's the supplies I used:

- Revlon Top Speed, Peachy
- Muse, NP-8 Natural
- Colorshock, #NP002
- Wet N Wild Fast Dry, Party of Five Glitters
- Clear or top coat

First, paint all your nails orange.

Then, make a bumpy design like a snow pile on all your fingers but the middle one with a nude polish.

Retrace that design in white a little farther down the nails and add a tree shape with nude polish on your middle finger.

Using a toothpick or dotting tool, pick out a large hexagonal silver glitter and place it at the top of the tree on your middle finger with some clear polish.

Add a top coat, and you're done!

Green/Blue/Yellow/Orange Water Marble

This one I think is the best water marble I've done so far. It turned out great, and I was surprised by how well the colors went together.

Here's the supplies I used:

- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Hard as Nails, Mint Sorbet
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Hard as Nails, Mellow Yellow
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Hard as Nails, Disco Ball
- NYC, Flat Iron Green
- L.A. Girls Disco Brights, Retro
- Clear or top coat
- Bowl of water
- Scotch tape

- Toothpicks
- Q-tips

 
 First, tape all around your nails to protect your skin.

Ready your polishes by unscrewing the lids and just setting them back in the bottle next to your water dish.

Here's how it turned out:
