Valentine's Day Nails--Day 14 (Happy Valentine's Day!)

Happy Valentine's Day Everybody!!! I hope everyone has had a great day, whether you had a "valentine" or not :)

Today I'm going to show you the last of my OMG NailStrips...and I've got great news!

Remember how I talked about adding base and top coat when using the real nail polish strips by OMG NailStrips?? Well, it works...and really helps keep them on!

These pictures were taken right after I applied them. On the OMG NailStrips website, this design is called the "pink kisses" design.

Before I put them on I did one coat of Cult Nails Get It On base coat. Then, once I got them on, I added one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat.

My nails strips stayed on for three days!! (see the "after" pictures below)

These pictures were taken after three days of wear. You can tell there was tip wear, but it's not bad at all for three days, in my opinion. I was so happy to see that the nail strips lasted longer when I used base and top coat.

OMG NailStrips are available for sale on their website. They cost $4.29 each and have lots of designs to choose from. While visiting their site, I saw that they offer free shipping for the US and international orders! Nothing beats free shipping!

*These products were sent to me for review by OMG NailStrips. All opinions are my own.

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 13

While hunting through my nail art supplies I ran across these adorable, yellow heart rhinestones! I was excited to use them :)

What I used:

 Cult Nails Feel Me Up (3 coats)

Milani Gold Glitz (1 coat)

Striping tape (to make the straight lines)

Yellow heart rhinestones

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 12

This V-day mani pertains to what a lot of girls want for Valentine's Day--diamonds!!!!

What I used:

OPI Alpine Snow matte (1 coat)

Nicole by OPI It's All About the Glam (1 coat)

Sephora by OPI Flurry Up! (2 coats)

Sally Hansen Presto Pewter stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM-09

A Not-So-Valentine's Day Mani

I'm doing another post today to show some love for the people out there that don't like Valentine's Day! Maybe you don't have a Valentine, just had a break-up, or are just down about love...this one's for you! :)

What I used:

Milani Fast Fuchsia (2 coats)

Cult Nails Fetish (1 coat) on ring finger

LA Girls Uninhibited (Black glitter, 2 coats)

Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love (2 coats)

To make the heart on my ring finger I took a piece of tape and cut out a heart shape then filled it in with Milani Fast Fuchsia. Once that dried, I used a black nail art pen and did a zig zag down the middle to make it look broken.

I hope you guys like this look! I just wanted to be able to include everyone since I've been posting so many cute, love/heart manis. I wanted to mix it up and do something different! 

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 11

How was everyone's Monday?? Mine was ok! You ready to see today's nails?? Here ya go...

How to achieve this look:

-I started by using striping tape to get straight lines for the black tips. The black polish I used was Cult Nails Fetish

-Then I stamped the hearts using Sally Hansen Presto Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-202. Next, I filled in the hearts with a nail art brush to make them darker and fuller

-Lastly, I added some red heart rhinestones

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 10

I busted out my nail art pens for today's look!

What I used:

Orly Prelude to a Kiss (2 coats)

Sally Hansen Ring-a-Ding! (2 coats)

Sally Hansen Nail art pen in gold

I loved how the gold looked with the peachiness of Prelude to a Kiss!

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 9

Oops! I'm a day late for Day 9 :/ That's ok, I'm sure you guys will forgive me, right??

What I used:

China Glaze Hang-Ten Toes (3 coats)

Milani Rapid Cherry

Bundle Monster plate BM-317

Multi-sized multi-colored round rhinestones from Cult Nails

These nails were hard to photograph! I couldn't get Hang-Ten Toes to come out true to color. It's way more neon in real life.

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 8

For today's nails I have a "not-so-ordinary" color scheme!

What I used:

Sally Hansen Flashy Fuchsia (2 coats)

Sally Hansen Green with Envy (1 coat)

*I got the cute heart sequins from a pack at the Dollar Tree!

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 7

Ok, I know I said yesterday's nails were my favorite so far, but I really love these nails A LOT, too!

                                                             

How to achieve this look:

-Start with 4 coats of OPI Don't Touch my Tutu! on each nail

-Stamp over middle and ring finger with Wet n Wild Black Creme using Bundle Monster plate BM-311

-Use 1 to 2 coats of Sally Hansen White Veil on index and pinky finger

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 6

I think today's nails are my favorite so far!

What I used:

-Index and middle finger--Cult Nails Evil Queen (2 coats) stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme using Bundle Monster plate BM-02 & BM-303

-Ring and pinky finger--Cult Nails Fetish (1 coat) then Wet N Wild Behind Closed Doors (2 coats)

Then I wanted to see what it looked like matte. I used one coat of Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love. This manicure looks so awesome when matte! 

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 5

I have a nice, soft look for you guys today!

What I used:

Cult Nails Enticing (3 coats)

Deborah Lippmann Stairway to Heaven (1 coat)

The sequin hearts I used have that opalescent/pink finish so they were kind of hard to capture in the pictures. In person they were so soft and feminine. I loved them!

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 4

I'm really fond of today's nails!

How to achieve this look:

Three coats of Revlon Girly on my pointer and middle finger
Three coats of Orly Charged Up on my ring and pinky finger
Then I used Sally Hansen Presto Pink and Bundle Monster plate BM-202 to stamp over the purple


I hope you guys have been enjoying these designs....4 down, 10 more to go! :)

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 3

Just a quick post for today!

This is two coats of Revlon Valentine stamped with Wet N Wild Black Creme. I used Bundle Monster plate BM-323. Isn't the name of the red perfect? 

Here's a quick fun fact: Revlon Valentine was the first polish where I bought a second bottle because I loved it so much! 

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 2

For today's V-day nail look I have something super simple, but super cute!

I used:

Three coats of Cult Nails Untamed

Then I topped it with LA Splash Love Crush

I had to kind of dab on Love Crush to get the hearts placed just right.

That's it for today!

Valentine's Day Nails--Day 1

Happy February everyone! I have challenged myself to post a Valentine's Day nail look for each day leading up to Valentine's day. So, essentially, for the first 14 days of February I have some awesome V-day nail looks to share with you guys! They will range from edgy looks to super cutesy! (is cutesy even a word?)

Ready for look Number 1!?

How to achieve this look:

2 coats Nails Inc. Baker Street on each nail except ring finger

2 coats Cult Nails Tempest on ring finger

Stamp design on each nail except ring finger using Bundle Monster BM-317 and a white stamping polish (I used Cult Nails Tempest)

Lastly, I applied a fimo heart from a pack I bought at Sally's a while back

I'm pretty in love with these nails! I like that they are V-day themed, but not the typical pink or red!
