A Valentines Day Fail

Good morning!  Sorry about the lack of posts but life's been busy here.  Every time I sat down to write a post something came up, usually something involving my boys haha.  Today I have a quick disaster of a mani to show you.  Sometimes these ideas that pop into my head work out well, like my white nails with hearts, and sometimes they are so bad they never should have happened.  This mani falls into the second category.  The base of this mani is OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips.  Then I used tape and added the purple glitter which is Jordana Celebration.  Then if that wasn't bad enough I stamped on white hearts from a konad plate.  I'm still getting the hang of my new stamper so I've got some smearing from pushing too hard.  Worst part is I was stuck wearing this for two days because I had no time to do my nails.

Oh well, can't win them all :)  I hope you all have a great day and I'll be back soon with a pretty mani to show you.

My Valentines Day Nails

Good morning and happy Wednesday!  Today I have my Valentine's Day nails to share with you.  I don't usually do a ton of themed nails but I recently got a new stamper and wanted to try it out.  This is OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls as my base.  This is an amazing white polish.  It's slightly grayed out so it's not so stark and the formula was outstanding for a white.  Two coats had it almost perfect on all my nails.  If I hadn't been stamping I would have added a third coat to a few nails.  Then I stamped hearts using Zoya Rory and Carly.  They both stamp pretty well, with Carly being a tad better just because it's so much darker.

As you can see I'm not a great stamper.  My pinky nail is a big mess but honestly I love this mani.  It's fun and festive without being crazy.  Mr. MLiP and I don't celebrate Valentine's Day.  In 15 years of being together I think we've gone out once.  Do you have any fun plans to celebrate?

I'd love to see your Valentine's nails.  Drop a picture by my facebook page.  Have a great day!

A Lazy Valentines Manicure

Happy Valentines Day my lovely readers!

Today I have a super lazy mani for you. When my sister said that China Glaze Love Marilyn looked like Valentines in a bottle, I knew I had to wear it today. I majorly suck at nail art so this was perfect. My little sister is wearing it too. We're like twins which is funny because she already has a twin. Now fair warning, these photos are less than stellar. It rains about 4 days a year here and today is one of them. This is three coats of Love Marilyn. The close ups show a few sparse areas but in real life you can't see them. I think next time I wear this I will do a silver base, like Zoya Trixie first, then two coats of LM.

So what are you wearing today?

Have a great day!
