Vintage Barbie

Hello! I wasn't going to post today because I usually only update once between challenge posts, but I figured that these might be a nice look to sport for Valentine's Day on Thursday, so I decided to show these now. I'm still not sure what I'll be wearing on my nails for the occasion, but hopefully I can think of something new, and also show you a roundup of my Valentine's Day designs for this year :)

So here I have some simple pink halfmoons with black and white stripes. I added some black glitter and rhinestones to finish off the look. I think that these would look great matte too! There's a retro vibe to this that, combined with the bold stripes and bubblegum pink, reminds me of the original Barbie dolls.

I started with American Apparel T-Shirt. Then I used a striping brush and American Apparel Coney Island to paint on the halfmoons. I used a black striping polish to paint the stripes. Finally I applied the black glitter and rhinestones with a dotting tool and top coat.

Have you decided on your Valentine's Day manicure yet? Feel free to link me or tweet @preciouspolish with your nails. I'd also love to hear about your plans for the holiday if you have any :) See you tomorrow when we resume the geometric challenge!
