Attention Getters

20 Feb

Nothing grabs peoples’ attention quite like a flaming red manicure.GlitterGradient_red_purple (10) WLcopySunday morning getting ready to head out the door and all 20 nails were naked.  Can you even believe that?  No mani or pedi!  And I wanted to wear peep toe pumps so going out with naked toes was unacceptable.  I rushed this paint job.  All 20 digits got a coat or two of Sinful Colors GoGo Girl.  It’s one of my brightest reds.  It tows the line between a jelly and a creme.  It really is a beautiful polish.GlitterGradient_red_purple (11) WLcopyTo add that extra oomph I added some OPI DS Temptation on my ring fingers and thumbs.

Valentine’s Funky French

11 Feb

This is a little more mature than looking than I feel like suits me.  It started out a little aimless and this is what came out of it.FunkyFrench_Valentines (4) WLcopyMy favorite part of this design is the little peek-a-boo baby heart on my thumb.  It was an afterthought, but I think it’s the best part.

I used OPI Do You Lilac It for my purple tips and acrylic paints for the rest.  I topped this off with HK Girl top coat.

I’m having fun coming up with Valentine’s manis.  I didn’t do many lovey dovey designs last year and I think I’m making up for it.Valentines_sealedwithakiss (3) WLcopyThis is the first time I’ve tried lips. I need to practice a bit more I think.  I like them anyway.

Valentine’s Heart French

6 Feb

With Valentine’s Day coming up next week, I’ve been thinking about designs with hearts.Heart_french (11) WLcopyWhile I don’t do french manicures very often, I really love the look of them. They feel very classy and sophisticated to me. This is definitely a bit more playful then the traditional white tip.
