It's Almost Valentine's Day!

Hey guys,

So, if you know me personally, you'll know I'm not one for PDA or over the top romance per se. I have a boyfriend, whom I have spent valentine's with exactly once so far, but we don't really celebrate it. This year we plan to stay in and eat chocolate in front of a film.

...But, I thought I would get in to the spirit of the month of love and do some nail art. Any excuse, right?

For these nails, I started with a pale pink base and built on top with darker pink and red colours. I used a dotting tool for the small hearts and a brush for the larger ones. I began the gradient hearts with red, then a dark pink, lighter (but still bright) pink and finally a light pastel pink.

The idea for the gradient hearts came from this video by CutePolish however, I doubt/I don't know if she was the first to come up with this. But that's where I saw it. 

Colours used are:

Sinful Colors - Easy Going

Rimmel Lasting Finish - Double Decker Red

Barry M Nail Paint - Shocking Pink

AVON - Viva Pink

Barry M Nail Paint - Strawberry Ice Cream

I hope you can look past the bad pictures, I apologise immensely.

A Quickie...And Washing Dishes Has Ruined My Life

Look at me - blogging again! 

To those of you who read my life update, you will know that I recently moved to uni. Moving to uni of course means no dishwasher, which in turn means I have to hand wash all my dishes. Now, washing dishes is not a problem, however it is a problem when you are profound nail painter like me and you would like your design to last for more than a day. To combat this problem, I am going to purchase some washing up gloves to save my nails. In the mean time though, it means another nail design and another post.

These nails were super quick as I didn't have a lot of time and I plan on doing a more extravagant design on Friday (you'll find out why soon). I literally painted them all and then thought "I want a bit of glitter". So I reached for a glitter topper and painted it on to cover half the nail.

The colours used, as you can see, are:

Barry M Nail Paint Gelly Hi-Shine - Guava

Sinful Colors - Nail Junkie

Expect to see another post either Friday or Saturday. Until then, have fun living your life and I'll get on with making something to eat for my dinner :').
