Here's my first mani for the season. I wanted to have some sparkling red on my nails, and went from there once I got some new decals in the mail that I ordered from RLR Creations.
*1 coat Gelous base
*2 coats Zoya America
*2 coats Sinful Colors Snow Me White
*3 coats Butter London Fairy Cakes
*1 coat China Glaze Fairy Dust
*1 coat Out the Door
America is 2 easy coats for perfect red coverage. Adding Fairy Cakes as a second accent was a last minute decision, but I'm glad I did it. Sometimes too much red makes me feel...old. I like breaking it up like this.
I used Snow Me white as a base for my red heart decal. This comes in a really cute Valentine's set. I was kind of off as I was finishing up this mani and left the first decal in the water WAY too long and it got folded as I slid it off. This one lost a little bit of the red as I patted it on, which is really only noticeable up close. I've never had this happen with these decals, so I'm assuming it was a fluke--we'll see with some of the others from this set that I can't wait to use!
I was having a rough day when I I painted this, so I figured a little more sparkle was in order. I added a coat of Fairy Dust, the perfect micro holo glitter, and then shined it all up with a top coat.
I've been doing a lot of cleaning/decorating/crafting lately, so I've gotten some chips on my right hand. At first I was bummed because this was such a fun look, but now I'm a little happy because it gives me an excuse to move onto the next festive look!
Do you have any "love" looks you love? Let me know!
