Queen of Hearts

I recently bought dotting tools and after playing with polka dots muchly I decided to try out something a little different!
Et voila! Lots of little hearts...

Heart Manicure

I started with one of my favorite colours as a base coat, an egg shell blue from Barry M, and using my dotting tools topped it with lots of multi-coloured hearts, overlapping each other... This mani was quite difficult to do on my right hand.
I was unsure of the result at first, but fell in love with it eventually.... pun intended (hehe).



Thanks for reading!

Neon Stripes Yo

After seeing the virtues of taping techniques I decided to give it a go, and decided to pair neon colors with a black topcoat. The finished result was sleek black with a bright pop of neon colour coming through underneath.

I absolutely LOVED this mani, the whole time I wore it, each time my nails would catch my eye I would admire them and think, 'dayum, this is what nail art is about!' Tehehe.
It was also an incredibly difficult mani to create; not only in terms of time, but also getting it to look as I wanted. Very pleased with the result though, so definitely worth the effort.
