Valentine's Day Nail Art 2!

Oh yes, I'm back with another nail art post, this time for those who don't want to be quite as obvious with their nails. We're doing leopard print today!! Leopard print is one of my favorites, and I finally got a decent looking leopard print now that I decided to use a dotting tool! So you can use any colors you'd like, but seriously, what nail polish is sexier than a holographic polish? I started off with a base of Nfu Oh 459, intending to do hearts or something girly, but I decided not to waste my time since the formula was a pain in the butt. It would have been easier to apply glue. The color is a gorgeous, almost neon coral though, so I had to photograph it with flash and the lights off. I then topped it with Seche Vite, since I was at work and needed it to dry fast. I only kept it on because I really needed to sleep after work. Later, I added Sea Lore Arista, a gorgeous peach jelly base with golden flakies. Of course, I needed to add more, so using Color Club Beyond, a black holographic polish, and Color Club Cosmic Fate, a peachy copper holographic polish, I created leopard print! Hope you like this, and if hearts aren't your style, maybe this will be!

Hopefully that last picture shows you how annoyingly thick the Nfu Oh was. And how gorgeous the holo is! See you soon with part 3!

Valentine's Art Idea 1

Sorry for the sudden absence again but life was getting a little hectic so I had to stop blogging for a bit, but as always, I kept painting my nails.
So this nail art idea came from a picture one of my friends found on facebook here. I changed some things up but feel free to do it like the original or add your own twist on it!
I used China Glaze Ruby Pumps and Champagne Kisses as my base colors, A-England Perceval for the hearts, loose glitter from Born Pretty Store, and acrylic paint for the black details. Then I decided it needed a little more and added Lynnderella Undead Red to the tips for a glitter gradient on my red nails. Ok, onto the pictures! Hope this gives someone an idea for nail art!

And, just because I can, a glitter macro!

I love Undead Red! If you want a similar glitter for a lower price, Sea Lore Arista is very similar! The glitter shapes aren't exactly the same, but the types of glitter are super similar including the holo pieces.

Hope you enjoyed the first of my nail art series, and let me know in the comments if there's something you want to see in this series or otherwise!
