52 Week Challenge:(I hate) Valentines Day

Single or not, I hate the crap out of Valentines day. I'm not super girly, or mushy, or one to like expensive jewelry or roses (ok, maybe some black ones), never been one for PDA, and stuffed animals make me want to puke. Call me cynical or jaded. For me just spending time with the person you love maybe getting some good food is all I need.
So, I did somewhat of an anti-Valentines day mani. Still complete with the classic red color scheme but with a hit of badass.
This was a lot of fun to do! It been a while since I freehanded leopard spots, and the heart & crossbones was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.
 Making that red color was an adventure in layering on it's own!

  • 1 coat Sinful Colors-Under 18
  • 1 coat China Glaze-Riveter Rouge
  • 2 coats Finger Paints- Flashy
I think it was worth it though, because using all those colors and textures gave the color a great depth, in my opinion. 
I tried my best to moisturize my cuticles, but Winter can't be stopped.

 Also I usually don't wear red, so it was a fun change of pace, that I am really enjoying.

 I hope you guys enjoyed it! :)

V-Day Pedi

****Warning:Feet Ahead!******

I can't believe I'm showing you my feet. I hate them. I have a freakishly long second toe, that I can use to pick things up with (I even flicked a lighter and lit someone's cigarette with my feet once...it was a while ago haha). Showing my feet also means showing you a few of my tattoos. So, surprises all around.

I used this tutorial from Copy That, Copy Cat as a starting point for this pedi. I just discovered this blog, and am really loving it, especially the tutorials.


Also for some reason I have no idea how the hell to take pictures of my feet. 




What I used:
Color: Wet n' Wild-Red Red
Tips:Sinful Colors-Black on Black
        China Glaze-Silver Lining

Broken Hearted.. Tutorial & Late Pink Wednesday

I'm not personally broke hearted, it's just what I'm calling this tutorial. As soon as I saw this was named "Broken Hearted" this idea popped into my head. I feel silly calling this a tutorial, because it's a little lame, but oh well. I have to work on my "tutorial skills. I also made this tutorial almost a year ago, and just realized I never published it! Finally finishing it now, just in time for Valentines day -_- haha

Yay for Broken hearts!

Step 1- Paint super glittery base coat. I used Color Club Magic Attraction, because well it's holo and I love it.


Step 2- Top with a coat of China Glaze Crackle Broken Hearted


Step 3- When crackle layer is completely dry, top with heart sticker or even tape cut out in the shape of a heart. The important part of this step is to make sure the sticker/tape is flush with nail.


Step 4- Top with black polish, I used OPI DS Illuminate. Before polish dries, use tweezers to remove sticker.



Enjoy your super adorable broken heart!

As you can see I just did this as an accent nail on my thumb, and painted the rest with OPI DS Illuminate
