Week 7- Valentine's manicure

I don't normally do pink or girly nails, but for Valentine's day I did. For my Valentine's manicure I used these products:


From left to right: Northern Lights Hologram Gold Top Coat, FingerPaints: Watermelon Watercolor, Pure Ice: Watermelon Ice, Jordana: Pop Art in Star Designer and Red of Hearts, and The Color Workshop top coat.

First I used one coat of the Hologram Gold, then I taped off for French tips. I painted the tip part with two coats of Finger Paints: Watermelon Watercolor, and after that dried I added one coat of Pure Ice: Watermelon Ice for a bit of sparkle. After taking the tape off I did some clean up with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover. Then I added another coat of Hologram Gold, but just to the top bit of nail. I free handed a strip of Star Designer and then a top coat to seal.



On my ring finger I did things a bit differently. After the strip of Star Designer I added a coat of Red of Hearts, placed the four rhinestones and fished out one of the hearts in the Red of Hearts polish. Because the Red of Hearts polish is a bit cloudy I added a coat of Hologram Gold to the top part and then sealed with a top coat.



These products were bought with my own money for review by myself.

Lunar New Year's manicure

새해 복 많이 받으세요! (saehae bok mahni badeuseyo) Many fortunes in the New Year.

I based my manicure on one that I saw before, but I can't find the website. If I do I will link to it here. The photo I saw had a much more subtle gradient, but I didn't have the polishes that were used in the photo. I think mine kind of looks like fire.

The colors are a little off here, it is snowing so there is no natural light, not even through the windows.

Here is what I used:


From left to right: Sally Hansen Super Shine, Pure Ice: Siren, China Glaze: Ruby Pumps, and Jordana Pop Art in Golden Artist.

The base coat was Pure Ice: Siren, and then I layered half of my nail with China Glaze: Ruby Pumps.


I put a layer of top coat, and then layered the lower half with the Jordana (which is actually a stripping polish, but it is the only gold glitter polish I have.)


What do you think? Do you celebrate the lunar new year?
