Old Love, New Love

If you've been a fan of Naild'It Unique polish for awhile, you may remember when "Give Hope" was released in honor of breast cancer awareness. 

This pretty pink polish is one of my many personal favorites. "Give Hope" is a mild pink shimmer holographic base with a splattering of larger silver holo glitters. 2 coats are generally enough for this polish to reach opacity. And it happens to be perfect for this Valentine french mani!

Of course, We had to add a pop of something new (well kinda, this pretty red was once called Rudolph Knows)..... So here is your sneak peek at "All-Red"! A pretty red jelly, with almost too many sizes and shapes of sparkly red  and fuschia glitters to name! 2-3 coats reach maximum impact!

You see 2 coats of each color here. To set off the color in this French tip manicure, I've added a shimmery white stripe with a nail art polish. The kind with the long skinny brush...


More new colors are planned for tomorrow! Are you as excited as we are?

Happy Broken Hearts

I started with a base of Avon Suede in Fuchsia.

 I like it because is dries quickly, has good coverage, and is pretty with it's own matte finish or with a shiny topcoat. You can see on  my index finger I applied some Nailene Artist Fx Sparkle coat.
 Have you seen this stuff? I got the whole sparkly set for my birthday last summer! 


Using my little scissors and some blue painter's tape, I made my own little templates. I kept the little hearts, and the borders because I couldn't decide which piece to use.
There's that sparkle coat on the right! Oh, and the teeny tiny hearts on the left?
 Didn't use those yet.... wink wink. 

Then I got busy with the taping and the crackling. Sally Hanson Crackle TopCoat in silver and black. My white was not very.... crackle-y. Maybe it was pouting about not being used for so long? Or perhaps I needed to shake it more.... 
Anyway. 
I decided to go ahead and topcoat. Sparkly makes me happy! :)

You like?
