Are those for me? ♥

Here is another Valentine's mani I whipped up this morning.

I used two coats of OPI Santiago Sangria and China Glaze's Devotion for the design. I used plate M24.

I really like the idea of this one. Usually I would have used this design on the tip as it is shaped as a U (see the Morgan manicure with konad). I decided to reverse it and I love how it turned out :)

I have a few more V-day manicures to show you :D

OPI Gotta Get Pink!

Another US exclusive! Only found in Ulta's around Valentines this year.

I love Gotta Get Pink, this is my kind of nude.

It is a really nice formula, nothing wrong with it at all. I really hope you girls were able to find a bottle :) If not, OPI Let Them Eat Rice Cake is really quite close, just a bit more nude toned. Not much more nude toned though!

♥ My Valentine's Day Mani! ♥

I apologise for the shocking photos and condition of this manicure. This was two days worth though! :D

So this was my final Valentines design. I used three coats of Shangri-la-la Lilac as the base, konads white for the butterfly and then followed by two coats of Starbright Sparkles II.

The boyfriend like the sparkley bits in it n_n Which made me really happy. I loved the shimmer and the base colour the most though hehe.

A Flower For You ♥

I had originally done this one for the Summer in February theme on MUA. But I thought it could be used as a Valentine's manicure too :)

I used four coats of Moody Blue then used konad's white for the design. A very simple but sweet manicure :)

Let the NOTDiarrhea continue!

Red Hot Valentine ♥

I'm really kicking myself for not posting these before V-day. I'm sorry reader :( but it's better late than never! :D

Alright, here I used two coats of OPI Little Red Wagon as the base. Then I proceeded to use China Glaze Devotion for the design. Followed by a coat of OPI Text Me Text You, I did a second coat of this over the tips which is barely noticeable.

I think this manicure gets the idea across of what 'holiday' you are celebrating :D

OPI Sweet As Annie-thing!

The. Hardest. Nail Polish. To. Photograph. EVER.

I'm serious, my camera will not let me show you Annie's shimmer! The last pics get you there a little bit closer.

This is two coats of the lovely Sweet As Annie-thing! I really like the finish on this polish, it's very glass-y. So smooth and glass...like. lol.

It applies so nicely, so pigmented, although it is sort of jelly-ish as I can still see the nail line. It disappears with more coats though.

This colour has already been discontinued, but don't worry, I'm sure the e-tailers will have it for a little while n_n

Please please please enlarge!

OPI Sweet as Annie-thing!

Hehe Mum has already offered to take this off my hands, she loves it!

Sweet As Annie-thing is really a very stunning polish, sadly the sun has distorted it a little. You can't really see much of the golden shimmer... but I assure you, it is very noticeable on.

This was two coats if I remember correctly. These 90210 polishes are very pigmented, almost opaque on coat number one. 

I think I will have to try Annie again on my new regime... See if I really do like it :)


And here is the other 90210 beauty! Sweet As Annie-Thing!

OPI I'm Yours

I hope your weekend is going along nicely :D

This is a long time lemming of mine and I hadn't really looked at it because it was only available on eBay.

I'm Yours is from the 'Valentime For Love' valentines set OPI released a few years ago. It was released with Be Mine and Valentime For Love.

Here is three coats of I'm Yours. It is a lot whiter than I thought it was but I still love it :D A very elegant white-pink with pink and orange shimmer. 

I know I am just going to go back again and again for this one when I'm in a sheer phase hehe.

Oh! As we speak, I am uploading a short video tutorial on how I file me nails :D

Display Charts - OPI Valentines

OPI Pretty & Privileged

This was my favourite of the two 90210's I got. I thought it would have been the one I liked the least :D

I can see why some people weren't too fussed over it because it's a red. But this red to me is a very special one as I only owned 3 hehe. 

Pretty & Privileged is a deep red with red and pink shimmer. It also has tiny pink flakies which look spectacular in the sun. I really didn't want to take P&P off.

But when I did remove it, it was like a glitter! Leaving little bits all over my nails :D You would think that this would have been annoying but I was happy, there was something different about this polish. It's like glitter shimmer!

Please enlarge the pics to see what I be rambling about ♥

You Give Me Butterflies ♥

I am in love with this Valentines manicure :) I think it had to be one of my favourites as I based my final one off this.

I used Zoya's Purity, three coats, as the base colour. Purity is a stark white, I mean STARK.

That was followed by China Glaze's Harmony used as the butterfly. Then two coats of Zoya's Bailey was used.

I love the look the Bailey created. It turned Purity into a soft easter eggy pink and made the butterfly look duochromey! How cool is that?!

Misa Be My Lover

What an appropriate name for Valentines :D

Three coats if I remember correctly. A very pretty pink creme. Why didn't I use this as a base for a Valentine's manicure? Ah well, at least next year I will be fully prepared! 

My Sexy Valentine ♥

For the sexy ladies :D

Hehe I wonder what the BF would think of this one...

For the base I used two coats of OPI Curry Up! Don't Be Late, one of my favourite golds. Then I used China Glaze Delight for the design :D

I really liked wearing this and didn't want to take it off, but alas, nail polish ADD strikes again.

Watching The Sunset Together ♥

I need some serious cheering up, and since the BF isn't here to do so, nail polish will have to do it.

I think this could be the one I choose to wear for Valentines as it's very sweet and cherry. Although I was thinking of doing OPI Ink as the base and Devotion for the dragonflies, sort of like a night time version.

Oh, also I picked up some Valentines Competition prizes today :)

Cupid's Wings ♥

I really like how this one turned out, even though it took forever to do :)

First up I used four coats of OPI Time-less is More. Looks like milk doesn't it? It reminds me of milk bottle lollies... 

Then I used, you guessed it, Devotion for the design :D I used plate M6. Like little silver Cherubs floating around on your nails n_n

A very simple and easy Valentine design to do!

Misa No Shrinking Violetta

I had to show you this beautiful nail polish ASAP!

Misa made a real beauty and it is sadly discontinued, so get it if you find it! I think TransDesign still has it :)

Look how pretty it is, a warm medium pink with loads of golden shimmer. I can't stop staring at No Shrinking Violetta... just wait until you see the Valentines version of it n_n Very cute, I think this may be the *one* for Valentines...

Application was excellent, not a problem in any area. I even had to do dishes between coats and not a single dent!

I may need a back-up now, and here I was considering getting rid of it... I think I need to go through all of my older polishes again :D
