Valentine's Day nails #3: Black holo+ holo glitter+ black hearts


Hello everyone!

Valentine's Day nails: Black holo+ holo glitter+ black hearts

This is my third Valentine's mani. I used the holo brother of Color Club Eternal Beauty; Beyond. Over this black linear holographic nail polish, I layered a holographic micro glitter (Northern Lights). Then I stamped black hearts over it, and used Northern Lights as top coat.

Because of all the "holoness", only the hearts look black. And the background color looks blue- gold- green- dark grey in bright light. It even matched my green jacket and dark blue jeans. In dim light/ evening the background color looks dark grey, but the holographic micro glitter sparkles in silver, red and green. I felt that my nails were ready for a party :-)

List of what I used:
Color Club: #994 Beyond
Konad: Special Black Stamping Polish
Bundle Monster stamping plate: BM-317
INM Out The Door Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat Silver

(I always use base coat. I always use base coat for holographic nail polish when I use holographic nail polish. I have seen that many don't, and get good results. But because I was talked into buying one when I bought my first holo, and in case it works, I use it.)

The photos are taken both inside, like I did in the last post, and outside. But we had no sunshine, so it's just winter daylight, and not good for photographing holographic nail polish. I think the LED lamp I use makes the holographic effect show better than sunlight, but it was difficult to make the camera focus. For the tree last photos above I used Ott- lite. The first photo below is taken in the light from a normal yellowish lamp.

 I was better at stamping this time, but really struggled with clean up.

I had hoped to get time to do some more Valentine's Day manis. I don't celebrate Valentine's Day, but it's such a fun theme for nail art, so if you're not sick and tired of it, I'll do Valentine's Day nails for the rest of the week.

Valentine's Day nails: Heart of a Vampire


Hello everyone!

Heart of a Vampire


I got this idea from the black heart on the Nostalgic nail lacquer bottle. I was thinking about the heart of Nosferatu, when I was wearing this nail polish called: Date at Midnight with Nosferatu. A vampire's heart longing for blood... I think the polish looks good in the bottle with the black heart, and wanted to make the same look on my nails. These are not traditional Valentines Day colors, but I like them and the pink glitter that shines through.

I looked at my notes today, and found out that I have more ideas for Valentines Day nails than there are days left. I want to make more Valentines Day nails using my stamping plates. I also have many ideas for Valentines Day nail art, and have seen two tutorials and want to recreate those manis too. Needless to say, I won't have time to make all of them. This is the only one I've done, so it's time to get started.
