Hey all! This week has been a busy one for me so I haven't been able to catch up on blog reading and replying to comments, but fear not, I hope to get it done over the weekend :)
Today I have a pretty quintessential Valentine's Day manicure featuring lots of glitter and big hearts in a pink and purple colour scheme. I was home for the weekend when I did this one so I didn't have my usual polishes. I found this untried glitter, tokidoki Stellina, and knew that I wanted to use it. I pulled up another untried, China Glaze Creative Fantasy, which ended up being a disappointment. It had a promising jelly finish but was too uneven for me. Luckily, it makes a fantastic base for Stellina! Finally I paired the combo with a lovely pink creme that matched the scattered pink glitter in Stellina.

On my thumb, index, and little fingers I started with OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips. For the other two nails I used China Glaze Creative Fantasy with tokidoki Stellina layered on top. I free-handed the hearts and did the gradients with the polish brushes. I outlined the hearts with a dotting tool and OPI Pink Friday.
Aside from the polish combination I didn't have any plan for what I wanted to paint. Despite this I'm really in love with how these nails turned out! Don't you love it when that happens? :)
