Negative Space Half-Moons

It's getting closer and closer to Valentine's Day so the nail art world is flooded with Valentine themed nail art. AND I LOVE IT! I love holiday nail art and I'm not ashamed. So, of course I'm throwing some designs of my own into the mix. 

31DC2015 Day 1 - Red Nails

It's finally here! The 31 Day Challenge is officially upon us and I'm STOKED! I know a lot of people begrudgingly take part in the challenge but I love it. It is difficult at times but it IS called a challenge for a reason. I'm particularly enthusiastic this year because I've been in a bit of a slump and this is just the thing to perk me up!

I knew days ago exactly what I wanted to do for the day one prompt AND which nail polishes I wanted to use. I'm never this prepared!

V-Day #6

I have fallen a bit behind on my Valentine's Day nail art. I wanted to post a design every day until the 14th but I'm just getting over being sick for almost 2 weeks now. I will definitely (hopefully) have a design every day for the next three days, though. I've already planned them and everything!

For today's (and tomorrow's, for that matter) design, I wanted to use less "traditional" colors for Valentine's Day. 

V-day simplicity

I could not, for the life of me, decide what I wanted to do for my actual Valentine's Day manicure. I made another attempt at the water spotted look, but that was not happening. Out of sheer frustration, I decided to do something simple. Very very very simple.

The half moon is Maybelline Born With It and the tips are Wet n Wild Lavender Creme. Initially, that was it. I thought it needed a little something so why not a bit of bling from Sally Hansen Celeb City. This manicure matched my V-day outfit perfectly, too, so that's a nice bonus. :)

Mani Party!

A few weeks ago, my girlfriends and I decided to watch every single Disney animated feature film in chronological order. Tonight was the second installment. We watched Pinnochio and Fantasia. What a blast. You've got to love the classics. I also did their nails for them while we watched.

First up is Heather. We decided to do a half-moon manicure for her. 

I used Wet n Wild Black Creme and Zoya Kelly. Then, I just used loose holographic silver hex glitter to accent the half-moon. Then we topped it all off with NYC Matte Me Crazy. I love this look on her and she's pretty happy with it. That's enough for me!

For Trisha, we did a gradient manicure. 

I started with a couple coats of OPI Planks a Lot. After I top coated and let that dry, I sponged on Essie Wicked. Then, more top coat and done. Clean up was a bit of a chore but I didn't mind. Her nails look fantastic. :)

All-in-all, it was a successful Disney/manicure night.
