Week 7: "Valentine's Day" Manicure

It's been a long time!!!
I feel like I haven't posted in ages... This is the manicure I wore for Valentine's Day. I know it is not the best and it is nothing close to what I wanted, but I am adjusting to a new schedule and stuff... I will update you on that. So, I started with 2 coats of 369 by Freshcover, my favorite red ever. This polish is special because it was the shade that made me fall in love with reds :) The stamping was done with SE21 and m19. I used an old Sally Hansen polish in the color White Tip. I decided to give White Tip a chance because it got thick and old, as I said, it is not a perfect mani, but I was okay with the result. Sorry for the rushed post, I promise not to abandon you ladies. I hope you had a great V-Day, much love to all of you!
Hace tiempo no pasaba por acá!
Siento que han sido siglos sin haber publicado algo... Éste es el manicure que usé para el día de San Valentín. Estoy consciente que no es el mejor y que tampoco está nada cerca de lo que deseaba, pero me estoy ajustando a un nuevo horario y a otras cosas... Les traeré una entrada acerca de eso próximamente. Empecé con 2 capas del color 369 de Freschover, mi rojo favorito. Éste esmalte es especial para mi porque fue el que me hizo enamorarme de los rojos. El estampado lo hice con los platillos SE21 y m19. Usé el esmalte blanco de Sally Hansen llamado White Tip. Lo usé porque es un esmalte viejo que ya se puso espeso y pues me convenció como quedó. Perdón por la publicación tan apresurada, prometo no abandonarlas. Espero hayan tenido un lindo día de San Valentín, mucho amor para todas!

Candy Canes and Holly Nail Design

Hola!
This is my first festive and holiday related manicure. I remember when I was not into nail art, I attempted some candy cane design and I failed miserably. This year is different because now, I feel a passion for nails. Let me tell you that I LOVE peppermint candy canes, it is my favorite candy. Here is what I accomplished this time to get into the whole Christmas celebration this year.

For this manicure, I used the following polishes:-For candy cane nails:
     *Freshcover #369
     *Kiss Nail Art Polish White
-For holly nails:
     *Freshcover #369 (for berries and tips)
     *Kiss Nail Art Polish White (for outlining tip)
     *Sinful Colors Happy Ending (for leaves)
     * Jesse's Girl Firefly (background)

It took me about 20 minutes to get this done and I just love how it came out. Here are some more shots:

Red is Sexy

Buongiorno!

Today I had to do my nails because I was getting tired of my butterfly wing manicure. I did not come up with any design because in a long time, I had not painted my nails red. I love them! I hope you enjoy.
Hoy tuve que pintar mis uñas porque me estaba cansando del manicure de alas de mariposa. No hice un diseño porque desde hace mucho tiempo no pintaba mis uñas rojas. Yo las adoro! Disfruten.

I used 2 coats of Freshcover's Camillia over a base coat.
Usé 2 capas del color Camillia de Freshcover sobre una base.

I added a top coat.
Agregué un protector de esmalte.

xoxo,

Carol
