Valentine Twine Dry Brush

Hey Y'all! 
Valentine's Day is now only a few days away! I might have one more design before my actual Valentine's Day nails, but I'm not sure yet. These are another dry brush design, but this time they're inspired by a twine background with a heart, that I saw on Pinterest. 

Here's How:

I started with a nude base of China Glaze "Don't Honk Your Horn." 

Next I'm usin a darker nude (Island Girl "Surfing Paradise") and wiping the brush off on the bottle as much as possible.

Then I'm going to sweep the polish brush across my nail until I get the desired coverage. 

I'm repeating this with a pink color. Pure Ice "Taupe Drawer." Wipe the brush off and sweep it across the nail.

And again with a dark brown (Pure Ice "Scandal"). Wipe the brush off and sweep across the nail. Do this one more lightly so you don't cover the whole nail in darkness.

Then I went back in with a little more pink to cover some of the dark brown, so it wouldn't be too harsh.

Next I went in with more of the first nude.

And finally I topped it all off with the China glaze base color.

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any polish on the skin.

Then I went in with a detail brush and a red polish, Salon Perfect "Salsa Dance," and outlined a heart in the middle of my nail.

And filled it in completely.

Finish it all off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect. 

And that's it!

Valentine's Day Layered Stamp

Hey y'all! Today I have another Valentine's Day mani for ya! This one is a layered rose design. 

Here's how:

I started with a pink base of Color Club "Wicker Park." 

 This is the plate I'm usin from the bundle monster, with the rose design.

And my clear jelly stamper from the born pretty store.

Then usin a light pink (Sinful Colors "Easy Going"), I place it onto the image.

Then scrape the polish towards me.

And pick the image up with the stamper in a semi rolling motion.

Line it up over your nail and look down the center to help with placement.

That's what it'll look like.

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape.

Next use a darker pink (Sephora Formula X "Eureka") and place that onto the same image.

Scrape the polish towards you.

Pick up the image with your stamper.

Line it up over your nail and look down the center to help place these roses around the first roses. 

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any excess polish on the skin.

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat. I use Salon Perfect.

And that's it!

Sugar Spun Valentines

Hey Y'all! It's February! Time for Valentine's Day nails! I'm never sure how I'll feel about Valenetine's Day until it comes around. Last year was a tough one for me, I was dealin with a broken heart and it definitely showed in the designs I did haha. This year I've been online datin and even though it's been a little rough, it's still given me hope of true love so I'm trying to let that show through in my new designs. Hopefully you'll enjoy what I come up with. 
Today I have a sugar spun valentine design. 

I haven't done sugar spun in quite awhile so this was fun. It just reminded me of candy with the chocolate drizzles. 

Let's get into how: 

I started with a hot pink base of Salon Perfect "Wrapped Around My Pink-y"

I'm usin this plate from bundle monster with the hearts design. 

And my clear jelly stamper from the born pretty store. 

Start by placin a red polish onto the image. I used Salon Perfect "Salsa Dance."

Then I scrape the polish towards me. I'm usin my creative shop scraper because I don't like the scraper that comes with the stamper. 

Pick up the image with a slight rollin motion. 

There's the design on the stamper.

Line the stamper up over the nail and look down the center to help with placement and squish it down on the nail.

Clean your stamper with a piece of tape. 

On a piece of paper I let some white polish (Salon Perfect "Sugar Cube") sit and get sticky. Then usin a small dottin tool I drag into the polish and string it across my nail. 

It'll end up looking like this once you're done. 

Use a small brush with acetone to clean up any polish on the skin.

Finish everythin off with your favorite top coat.

I placed this napkin under my nails so I could try to show better color accuracy. The pink is so hard to capture on camera. It's even lighter still than this picture.

And that's it!
