Today's mani is another one of those examples of times when I sit down to do my nails with one idea in my head, but the mani I end up with is completely different in the end. This is another mani based on the prompts for the Whats Up Nails March Nail Art Challenge and this prompt was Fluid Art (Spots & Geode). It actually hadn't occurred to me to do a dry marble until I saw the inspiration pictures featuring some STUNNING nails from Sveta Sanders and that's what really, really sparked my inspiration for this mani.

I have to admit that today's mani isn't necessarily Me, but it's so adorable that I can't help but love it. Quite recently, I picked up a few new plates from Beauty Big Bang and one of them was this Hello Kitty themed plate that I just couldn't resist. I've been doing more reverse stamping lately and I just, for some reason, couldn't wait to get these images onto my nails.

Clearly, I couldn't let a little mini marathon of Valentine's Day nail art pass without throwing in an abstract mani with some cute stamping... I mean, I feel a little bit like this style of mani is becoming a signature for me. The thing that always makes me go back to this type of mani is that it's entirely versatile - I can really make it work for any season, theme, or vibe to be exactly what I want it to be, and so it makes total sense that I was able to make... basically the exact same mani work for Christmas as for Valentine's Day.

Sometimes when I sit down to do my nails, I have a fully formed idea of exactly what I'm going to do... and then when I'm finished it absolutely is not that. That's definitely what happened with this mani. I had one plan and it wasn't even nebulous - I knew exactly what I was going to do. I pulled out everything I needed for that mani... and then proceeded to use all of those products to do something else. It happens, right? I'm excited about it though because I really don't do gradient stamping enough and I think it really worked for this mani.

Hey guys! This week has gotten away from me a little bit and I ended up missing my planned upload yesterday - but these things happen and I'm going to make sure that I still get the same number of mani's that I had originally planned for Valentine's Day - there just might be a bit of a double up tomorrow. Anyway, for today's Valentine's Day themed nail art, I decided to keep it simple and went with a pairing of red and white with some graphic details and a little bit of cuteness.

I feel like it's about once a year that I get the idea in my head to do some leopard print nails. They always seem to be a pretty big hit, there's about a million different variations that you can do, and in all honesty they're one of very few hand painted nail designs that I can actually pull off. The inspiration to do this mani came from the polishes I used to do it, mainly two of the polishes from the heroine.nyc Winter Wishes Collection. The polishes I chose aren't necessarily the first pairing that cames to mind for this collection, but that's sort of what really inspired me.
