♥ V-Day Mani's! ♥

Hi!

Whether you celebrated or not, I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day! I enjoyed a nice homemade dinner with my FH and his brother and brother's girlfriend. FH even brought home some Lindt dark chocolate for me - YUM! What I came here to show you are the entries I posted for Color Club's V-Day mani contest! How's about a collage?



I named the left one "Love In Bloom" and the one on the right is "Parade of Hearts". I don't think a name was required, but they popped into my head and I liked them, so I figured why not?

Originally, I had done another V-Day mani for the contest, but I re-read the rules and realized I hadn't adhered to them by using too many Art Club colors. So then I tried to reproduce it, which would be the "Parade of Hearts" mani. Here's the original.



I thought it looked cute short too.



This was a nice challenge and I'm happy with what I came up with. There are other great entries too!! So exciting!!

Hehe okay, that's all for now! Thanks for stopping by!

In the Mood

Hi!

I'm so excited today! I made my very first video playing with Claire's Mood Color Changing Nail Polish in Awesome/Silly! What a perfect name to go with my mood right now too! It feels so awesome to create something and just a teensy bit silly because I'm not sure if anyone will even be interested in watching my nails change colors. Regardless, it was fun to put together! So here it is :)



And some pics!




First pic is indoor light. Second pic is using flash, which IMO is more color accurate than the first one. (*Edited to add: lighter color (Silly) is under hot water and darker color (Awesome) is under cold water*)

So, I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed putting it together! Thanks so much for stopping by!

*hugs*

OMG!

Baby let me love you downnn
There's so many ways to love ya
Baby I can break you downnn
There's so many ways to love ya
Got me like, ooh my gosh I'm soo in love
I found you finally, you make me wanna say
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh-My-Gosh

Okay, so I'm no Usher, but can anyone else imagine him singing his OMG song to a bottle of China Glaze - OMG? Hehe silly me. Onto the polish!




3 coats used here. No top coat. This is a nice holographic polish. Dries to a kinda matte finish which might have you reaching for the top coat, but I heard that top coats tend to dull the holo effect. I took pics of OMG with and without top coat to see. First pic is without top coat and second pic is with.




I think it did dull the holo a little bit, but it’s still pretty. So I guess it depends on your preference~ more holo or more shine? What do you think?

Unfortunately, I’m not sure where you can find this anymore. I happened upon this at a great beauty supply in Brooklyn. OMG came from the China Glaze OMG! Collection that came out in 2008 which I believe has been discontinued. You can still find most of the other colors at Victoria’s Nail Supply though.

Okay, so this post reminded me of my friend’s wedding because she was looking for a song to start her slideshow, which wound up being Usher’s OMG. This led me to remember I forgot to post my mani from that day. I used Icing – Taylor. A light pink shimmer. I forget how many coats I used, either 2 or 3. It was a bit simple yet pretty.



That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by! ^.^
