Love is in the air!

I have one more Valentine's Day manicure for you today. Just a little scene set at dusk with two people in love, meeting at the end of the day for an evening together.

Blue, Green, Purple Stamped Gradient - Tri Polish Tuesday

The colours for Tri Polish Tuesday for March are Blue, Green and Purple. I thought this combination would be good for a gradient. I also stamped a pretty pattern on top to add to it.

I painted the nails with Klean Color Metallic Aqua. I then sponged on the gradient with Klean Color Metallic Aqua, Green and Purple. I stamped an image from the MoYou London plate 05 from the Sailor Collection with Color Club Harp On It. The stamping is subtle so it keeps the focus on the vibrant colours of the gradient.

Valentine's Day Nails - GOT Polish Challenge

I am late with my Challenge Valentine's Day manicure but here it is at last.
I haven't really done much for Valentine's Day in the last few years. But this year we did make an effort and I have to say, that it was really nice! It made me realise that if you have another day (other than anniversaries and birthdays) to have a nice meal and spend some quality time with your loved one, surely that is not a bad thing! What do you think?

Anyway, on to the nails ... For this manicure, I did a holographic gradient on four nails with China Glaze Holographic Astro-Hot and Infra Red. The ring finger is painted with Infra Red. These China Glaze Holographic polishes do not have a very strong holographic effect but they still look very pretty. The stamping images are from the Pueen Love Elements Set, Pueen 29 and Pueen 34. The stamping polish is Essie No Place Like Chrome.

Trees, Birds, Blue Skies ...

I have seen many manicures recently with birds or birdcage images and I have really liked some of them. I wanted to try one out with some images on the MoYou London plates. Here's what I came up with ...

For this manicure, I used a base of Boots No 17 Bolt from the Blue. I did a gradient with Barry M Cyan Blue and Gelly Blackberry. I stamped with Konad Black, images from the MoYou London plates 03 from the Mother Nature Collection and 04 from the Pro Collection.

I really liked this manicure. I loved the gradient to begin with - it does look a bit like blue skies, don't you think? And I just adore that bird image on the barbed wire!
