After the whole last month of doing nails I wouldn't normally do, it feels so comfortable to get back to nails that feel very much me - pink and girly!
For this week, the #CBBxManiMonday chose "Pink and Red" as our theme and I went full Valentine's Day with the nails! I was heavily inspired by a past picture from MakeMyDay that I saw years ago and have been wanting to do ever since. I can't find the exact picture now; but, it was just layered mini hearts and it was so perfect with the colour we chose for the week!
The products I used for this week's Mani are:
-dotting tool
-Nails Inc. polish in Glamingo
-Butter london polish in Ultra Violet
-OPI polish in Candied Kingdom
-OPI polish in Toying with Trouble
-OPI polish in Lavendare to Find Courage
-Sally Hansen in White On
-Moyra Top Coat
For this look I started with 2 coats of a neon pink base polish (I used Glamingo) and let this dry well. Then using a dotting tool and 1 polish colour, I creating a dotting tool nail art heart, where you dot 2 dots beside each other and drag the dot down (here is the original tutorial!) I created a couple of hearts with each different polish shade and varied sizes and placement.
Then, I let the hearts dry well and finished with a nail art top coat so the hearts wouldn't run (I am the worst for not waiting long enough and having my nail art designs run!) This Morya SP Top Coat I received in a mani subscription is really great so far!
I absolutely love how this design turned out!!! I was worried that the purples and reds for hearts might not "go" together; but, they turned out just like I pictured! Also, I think this design looks great on short nails and I just had to trim mine down because of some breakage and was worried it wouldn't look as good! The neon pink polish is so bright and fun too - it's nice to have nails that are very "me" back!
