Sparkly Valentine


Hello everyone!

Hope you had a good week and a great Valentine's Day.
If you didn't celebrate well then I hope you had an awesome Thursday!

As mentioned before, this mani was the one I would wear for 
my anniversary so I definitely wanted to make it a little more glitzy.
Boyfriend made me dinner last night since I had a midterm 
at the end of the day so I didn't want to go out.
Tonight though we're going out to make up for it 
& I've decided to post the outfit I wore in my next post.

Anyways! Back to the nails...
To set the mood once again,a little bit of MJ:





I used Maybelline Color Show - Bold Gold, 
piCture pOlish - O'Hara, 
& then I used gold glitter to do the design.


 O'Hara is super gorgeous. It definitely differs from 
piCture pOlish's other fabulous red Dorothy.
This one is a lot brighter, more of a bright cherry red. 
And the glitter is a bit more subtle.

 
Right hand.....
Left hand (the gold on my index finger looks waayyy better in reality.) ....
Bottle Comparison.




These were a lot of fun to do and I would definitely recommend 
you try using glitter if you have the patience for it. 
I can't wait to see how far I can push myself by using them.
Sound off in the comments and let me know what you think!
Next post will be on Monday!

Sweet Valentine


Hey everyone!

So for part 2 of my triple shot of love I decided to go sweet.
For me that means brighter colours and keeping it simple.
Scroll on down and tell me what you think.

To set the mood:





 For these nails I used Revlon - Mad About Mango, 
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Pink Blink, 
& Maybelline Color Show - Porcelain Party.


 


 My favourite part? The fact that I used a scented Revlon polish. 
I wouldn't say it smells exactly like mangos, 
more like super sugary candy that's mango flavoured. 
They smell awesome!! 
I wish there was a way I could demonstrate it to you. 
If you're interested in trying out the Revlons I would highly 
recommend it. I own 2 and they both have really great scents.

I feel like the scent really adds to the theme. Do you agree?
Feel free to comment!
Next post will be on Friday.
Enjoy your week!!

Sultry Valentine


Hello!

So here we go, part one of my triple shot of love challenge.
For this look I wanted to use darker colours because
that's what I picture when I think "sultry".

 But I kept it PG, I swear.

First, I was thinking about having a different song go along with
each theme so here is Darlin' Darlin' by Pillowfight to set the mood.



Now on to the nails!!





I figured it was the perfect opportunity to use   
OPI - Stay The Night from the Mariah Carey collection.
Special shout out to InJeebWeTrust for lending me this polish, I was dying to try it.
I also used L'Oreal Paris - After Hours on each of my ring fingers.







I love them. The texture of the liquid sand is awesome. 
& that sparkle!! I die.

Let me know what you think!

xo, D

Triple Shot of Love


Hello lovelies!
So I came up with a little mini series.
Surprise! It's for Valentine's Day. (Insert gasp here!)
It'll be a series of three posts.

A Triple shot of love, my loves.

Each is a different theme (duhh) but each one must include a heart.
It is the main symbol associated with the day after all, although I 
always wondered why we draw it the way we do when really 
it's a giant pulsing muscle-y lump. Oh well.

I must admit I have a soft spot for the holiday because for me it's really 
all about my anniversary (insert cheesy love song here). 
So day 3 will be extra special. 
Let me know if you'd be interested in a partial outfit post because I'm considering it.

Day 1 - Sultry Valentine
Day 2 - Sweet Valentine
Day 3 - Sparkly Valentine

Look forward to the first post tomorrow!

 xo, D
