Valentines Day Nails v.2: Anti-Valentines Challenge



I had all these ideas of 'normal' Valentines nails I could do and then I saw the title of the NPQ challenge for this week and though...eeek! After doing a little bit of hunting on the Internet, I saw an image pop up in a feed that I just thought was quite 'cute' in an anti-valentines day way and hoped that I could translate it across to the nails. All of it is freehand except the black stripes - those are a simple line stamping plate. Everything else was drawn with a tooth pick :).

I started with two layers of white base, then a coat of Seche Vite to help protect those layers against any accidents with the black. Unfortunately when trying to draw the black stick cupid on it was making the polish behave strangely so I had to repaint a white layer to get it to 'stick' properly. The hearts are basically two blobs next to each other with the tip of the toothpick and then carefully join then up by dragging in a gentle V shape. Then I drew tiny little breaks in the hearts with the tip of the toothpick. Finished off with a -careful not to smudge anything- layer of Seche Vite.

Polishes

Snow Me White by Sinful Colours

It's all just... so romantic!
