For today's mani, I was very much in the mood for something adorable. While I'm not generally much of a pink and adorable kind of girl, there's something about Valentine's Day that just makes me go all in, so I grabbed a super bright pink polish and a bubbly hearts stamping image and I just went for it!

I am, admittedly, not  much of a pink girl in general, but then Valentine's Day rolls around and my brain immediately goes straight into full on theme mode and suddenly I want to throw pink and hearts and cuteness at my nails like the girliest girl. For this mani, I really sort of went all in with two different shades of pink and what might be the most unabashed hearts stamping image in my collection - because why not, right?

I always get excited about new stamping plate releases from Whats Up Nails, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the 4 new plates that launched earlier this month. Of course, being in Canada it took a minute for them to get to me, but as soon as they did I tore right into using them and the first mani I knew I had to do as soon as I first saw the B075 Somewhere In Bee-tween Stamping Plate* was this one featuring this stunning sunflower image. It just had to happen.

One of the things I did while I was putting together ideas for this year's Halloween nail art was to go back and look at designs I'd done previously. I didn't want to do a straight up recreation of any of them, but I did like the idea of doing some twists on some of my favorites. One of my absolute favorites from last year was my Spooky Grunge Voodoo Doll mani that I did and I definitely felt like I could easily take the spirit of that one and do something a little darker and more gritty with it this year. In the end... I feel pretty confident that I was able to do just that.

When I sat down to start putting together ideas for this year's marathon of Halloween Nail Art, today's mani was the first design idea that I ended up writing down and I spent weeks anxious to get it onto my nails. (Why, yes, even though I was fully ready to start doing Halloween mani's on August 1, I did force myself to wait until September to get started...) I literally pretty much knew exactly what this was going to look like on my nails as soon as I thought of it and the final product is pretty much exactly what I had pictured down to the colors I used for my reverse stamping. That is definitely not always the case, but for this one I'm really, really glad that I was able to bring what I pictured to life.

A few months ago, now, I was filling up my cart over at Harlow & Co and got a very, very random urge to try out some water decals. I've used water decals a few times in the past and I think they're a really great way to easily and quickly create some intricate nail art designs, but personally they just aren't something I reach for using all that often so this was a little random but I went with it. I decided to pick up the sheet I used for this mani because I just loved the colors and overall vibe of the really distinctly fall leaning designs on it and now the time has finally arrived to use it!
