Valentine's Day Nails (look #3)

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. I spent the day with my bf in NYC. We went to Madame Tussuads (wax museum), walked around and went in some stores, and ended the day with a nice dinner.

So even though Valentine's Day is over I have one more Valentine's nail look. I had wanted to post this before yesterday but I just didn't get the time to (since I only did this look on Tuesday night). This is the nail look I wore on actual Valentine's Day. Also turned out to be my favorite Valentine's nail look that I did. 

I used Wet N Wild's megalast nail polish in Haze of Love. Love this color. I then made two hearts using Sinful Colors polish in Snow Me White. I did the best I could using flossing picks because I am still waiting on my dotting tools to come in. Then over all the nails I used my new NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat.

I am loving the look of matte nails. I saw at Rite Aid this past week that Sinful Colors also has Matte Top Coat.  

Have you tried the matte nail look?

Till next time,

Nails: Black On Black & Party Of Five Glitters

Hello all! Last night I finally decided to do my nails. I had on my previous polish for about two weeks (I just touched it up on week two). I had picked up another new Wet n Wild polish when I had picked up the one from my previous nail post.The polish I got is one of their fast dry ones and it is a really pretty sparkly polish called (238C) Party of Five Glitters (I think it was around $2/$3). I didn't want to just use the glitter polish though. I wanted to have a base color under. All week I had been debating what color would would go with this glitter polish, out of the colors I already own. I finally ended up going with black (inspired by this blog post).

Now I don't think I have ever worn black nail polish before. I don't know why but it kinda scares me. Maybe because it can be very intense. So I figured putting the glitter on top would help lighten it up. I bought black nail polish because I figured it would be a good basic color to have in my collection. I used Sinful Colors in (2) Black On Black. Then I used the Party Of Five Glitters polish on top after that dried. I wanted a lot of glitter so I had to go over each nail a few times. When that dried (or at least I had though it did) I used my Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat.

The problem I ran into was that it took a super long time for it to dry. I guess because I had so much polish on???? The glitter polish did not seem fast dry in my opinion. But then again I did like 3 coats on each nail so I would get extra glitter. I have to try out the glitter polish again before I make any final conclusions on it. A couple of my nails got  a little messed up from not being completely dry and me hitting them on something ( so frustrating!) but in the end it ended up being barley noticeable.



What do you think of this nail look?

Till next time. :)
