V-Day Mani Two Days Late. Heehee!



Happy Two Days After Valentine’s Day, Chicas!

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done my nails so I’m really glad that I got to do these! I did some for WinterJam and apparently, they looked like Dino poop. And I also deleted the pics when I thought I had more somewhere else….Which I didn’t. -__- Gar…

But anyways, I had a lull in my studies and I saw this mani from cutepolish on Youtube (here) and knew that that was the mani for this week! So cute, so easy. I bit time consuming when figuring out how I would do it, but so worth it.

Since I didn’t really have any peachy color as what she did, I painted my nails a solid gold, Pure Ice’s Jaguar, and I covered my entire nail instead of doing just the French mani style. Two coats isn’t quite enough for that color to be completely opaque, but with the spots on it, it’s totally fine. 

 

Once I got all the base color finished, I made the hearts on the ring and thumb nail on both hands. After that, I used Essie’s Study Case for my brown spots. I was a bit worried that it was too similar to the gold color, but when it was outlined with the black it wasn’t too bad. Then you obviously outline the spots and part of the hearts. That’s really the most time consuming part of this mani. 



A word to the wise…Don’t do the outlining when you’ve had a cup of coffee that day. Heehee! Did that once and it looked terrible…lol!

Anyways, hope you all had a great V-Day with your special someone! :D
