NOTD: A Love Letter

I love the thought of love letters, how romantic!

Products Used:

NOTD: V-Day Ready?!

Valentine's Day is fast approaching {actually it's still kind of far off huh? lol} Anyway...

Today's mani was inspired by this picture {which was done on acrylics, I think}.

 I free-handed everything using 2 polishes and a thick top coat:

1. I painted horizontal lines for the tips, gives them a little roundness at the edges.

 {rather than making straight lines across}

2. For the heart, I began with 2 dots above the white line and connected them downward 

with a fine short brush.

3. Then I filled the them in and tried to make it as close to a heart as possible! :)

My week has been jam packed with schoolwork!!!  Doing nail art definitely helps me de-stress  a bit!  I hope that you guys enjoy it as much as I do :)

NOTD: Cupcakes

After seeing so many cupcake manicures on Pinterest, I made my attempt... They're too adorable to resist!

•  after painting every other nail pink, I painted the bottom 1/3 of the other nails the same color.
• I then added vertical light pink stripes to the 1/3 portion.
• With white polish I painted 3 scallops using the nail polish brush.
• Then, I carefully rounded out the top using the same nail polish brush making sure not to go all the way to the cuticle.
• I added small sprinkles with my finest dotting tool. {a pin will work, but be careful}
• Finally I topped of the cupcake with a sparkly top coat and a pink rhinestone.
• For the other nails I free-handed silver hearts {added dots} and stripes.

My first cupcake didn't come out very round!

Sparkly cupcakes, yum!

I have to mention that my nails gave me a huge craving for cupcakes which, I am proud to say I satisfied! lol

Do you want cupcakes now??? :)
