Second Valentine's Day Post- Because I Love You

So I've been wanting to use this stamp for forever and I decided to give it a go. Then I got a brilliant idea from some movie or something I was watching and suddenly my wood nails became Valentine's Day nails.

The Boyfriend's first initial is Z, and I'm M. Geddit? :D

Apple!

D'aww

I'm very pleased with how this turned out. Base color is Sinful Colors' Nirvana, stamping with Winstonia W113 plate and  Revlon's Hot for Chocolate. I used Revlon Trade Winds for the "carving", and a mix of greens for the "leaves". Topped with a matte topcoat. 

I learned the hard way to do the letters BEFORE the heart... So that I can fit them in it. Oops.

Hope you guys have a happy Valentine's Day! I plan to :)

Candy Apple Nails

I was wondering what to do Saturday night, so I went with my default- I did my nails! But what did I want to
do? My mom gave me the answer: Candy Apple nails! They turned out cute, and I've been wearing them ever since :)

These were pretty easy! Just sponged the colors on, and then add the caramel topping :)

I used Sinful Colors Unicorn as my base. I was planning on letting it show with the other colors,  but that didn't happen.
Unicorn is a very soft yellow creme. Very pretty.

After the sponging, before the matte coat. I tried to make every nail unique. No two apples are alike!

Here's with the "caramel" applied. I added a matte topcoat to the apple. I mixed a soft brown creme I have with a gold I recently bought to create the caramel, and then topped it with my Wet'N'Wild topcoat.

I guess I didn't get as much disparity as I wanted, all the red is on the right side of the nail. Oh well, they still don't look the same!



To finish, I added a stem and a leaf on top. I think they turned out really cute!
All done!
So what do you think? Totally fall, right?
