Month of LOVE πŸ’—

The Month of Love

Hi All,
So February is more than halfway through, I hope everyone enjoyed Valentine’s/Galentine’s Day. I didn’t do anything to celebrate it, although My Mr & I did exchange gifts this year. I received a Beautiful Set of 3 Yankee Candles which I’ve been eyeing up for ages, very very happy girl!

Onto nails, I love pale pink colours on my nails and decided on a base colour of OPI's Let’s Be Friends from the Hello Kitty - Collectors Edition. 
It’s subtle, feminine & romantic, the perfect background for some stamping I had in mind...
I started with a base coat of OPI Nail Envy Original.
Followed by 3 coats of Let’s Be Friends. With the shade being so pale, this amount of coats was required to gain full opacity. 
Wait until each coat is touch dry before applying the next. 
I finished with a Top Coat of Seche Vite.


Valentine’s Day Nails πŸ’—
I left the stamping until the following day, with Let’s Be Friends as the base.
I Stamped over with Apartment for Two by OPI (Roses), Rose Gold by PS Nails Primark (Hearts).
Stamping Plates I used are from Clear Jelly Stamper CjSC-12, this is a Christmas Plate but has a few other images that can be used all year through. 
It’s a layered plate which means you add layers to your image as I have with the hearts. First I picked up the Rose Gold Hearts and followed with the image of the outline in Pink. 
Born Pretty Plate L029 has a lovely selection of flower patterns, I thought the Roses were spot on for Valentine’s!
Completed with a Top Coat of Seche Vite over the stamped nails and voila!



So I hope you like this design, I think it’s simple but pretty. 
I’ll be back soon with more cuties. If there’s something in particular you’d like to see then please ask. 
There’s lots of ways to contact me...
