Valentine's Day Mani!

I saw this Colores de Carol polish and had to have it. HAD TO HAVE IT! It's called Free Love. It was part of a duo (the other polish is a super gorgeous purple called Spoiled. I may have to have that one too.......a low buy is hard, not gonna lie).

This is a light pink crelly with teeny tiny red metallic glitter, red hex glitters, white square glitters- tons of cool stuff.

So light pink polishes make me look like I have lobster hands, as evidenced clearly in this picture, but I truly didn't care, because I love this polish.


This was opaque in 2 coats, and it was super easy to work with. I have a love/hate relationship with crellies, as often they just are so freaking sheer (I'm looking at you, KB Shimmer Neon Me- 4 coats!!! Really!!!).

This wasn't streaky or patchy, just two easy coats and I got tons of glitter and great coverage. It wasn't even lumpy, like some can be- I did 1 coat of Glisten and Glow top coat. Here's a macro, you can see all the cool stuff this polish has in it!

Excuse the bubble of top coat, lol.


So then I stamped over it- and that was an adventure, let me tell you. I haven't stamped in a long while!

I first tried to do a heart and dot pattern, using a purple mini Mundo de Unas stamping polish (Undo de Munas is a Mexican brand of stamping polish, and the stamping polishes smell like car paint, be warned, but they work great!), and my Born Pretty Store clear stamper. I don't know if it was the polish, the plate or the stamper, but it did not work. At all. So I had to take everything off, re-polish my nail, then wait to stamp, lol. I didn't wait long enough, and I stamped too soon and smooshed it, and had to re-paint again.  While waiting for my nails to dry, I tried out my red Mundo de Unas polish, and a different image (same stamping plate). I couldn't use a different stamper, this is my only clear stamper, and I needed that to line up my image.

So I did hearts- and in my hurry to finish up the nail I had to re-do, I stamped my hearts the opposite way I did the other nail. Oh well!!!

I'm going to try to get better at stamping!!

Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails!!
