My Valentines Day Mani

I know, I feel terrible that it has been a month since I last posted, but being in the process of moving, it has just not been practical. My nail things were amongst the first  to get moved to Devon, and since I have been spending most of my time in Bristol sorting out the flat, my nails have been naked for a long time! It has probably been good for them, they were starting to get a faint yellow tinge to them (from my cheap base coat I assume) which has since completely disappeared luckily.

Anyway, all of my nail things have been successfully unpacked, tidied and put away in a somewhat organized fashion, so once again, I have pretty nails!  Of course I had to choose a valentines themed manicure today :) sadly, I am not with my valentine today, but at least I have pretty nails :) and here they are -

The base colour is Revlon in Timeless No 310. The hearts are drawn on using dotting tools, and a 17 Fast Finish nail polish in Knockout Red. I finished this manicure with my No7 Stay Perfect top coat.

I am not 100% happy with how these turned out, I should have learned by now the doing nail art with fast drying nail polish is a big challenge! It was just the colour that I thought would go best with the base colour, and I still think that the colour combination is great. The hearts went a little streaky when I added the top coat too, which is also a mistake that can easily be avoided with a little more patience! Overall though, these are cute, and from a distance I don't notice the little mistakes so I'll keep them for a while :)

Hopefully my blog will be a bit more active soon, I am still not quite done moving, and will be going back to Bristol in the next couple of days to clean the flat, but after the 20th I should be back to doing regular posts again :)

Wishing everyone a beautiful valentines day, with lots of love, S x
