Valentine's Day!

WOW. Valentine's Day is tomorrow...I swear it sneaks up on me every year. Maybe because from the first moment I see all that pink and red overpriced candy in stores I completely tune it out lol Either way...I finally got around to doing a Valentine nail art. Enjoy! 

The pink I used is Bubblegum by L.A. Girl Color POP

Playing with my black light!

Hey everyone!
Last night I found my black light and decided to have some fun. I went through my house and started shining it on EVERYTHING. And got pretty scared...but then I went into my makeup room and my jaw hit the floor!! 
I have only ONE black light polish but was so surprised to see that it wasn't the only one lit up! I had quite a few neon glowing polishes on my racks!!! So I pulled them from the shelves and picked a few for painting! 

I used the five pictured below, as well as Hard Candy: Black Tie Optional...whose white glitter glowed quite nicely!


None of them are the glow in the dark ones but they glow in black light just fine!!! 


I got to painting and they looked awesome even without the black light. I got the edges cleaned up and flipped the black light on only to have my smile fall. The black light shows EVERY little bit of polish left on the skin...even if its not visible in the light...so I cleaned up again under the light as best as I could. 


Just look at that GLOW! lol Its just RADIATING off my nails! lol 


These are all the polishes I had that showed even the slightest bit of reaction to the black light. Brands and colors are listed below from left to right! 
Claires: Black Light Polish
Funky Fingers: (name unknown, its a neon green)
Snowman Nail: pastel green
Spoiled: Distant Memory
Art Deco: Bright Green

Bottom Pic

Funky Fingers: Like Clockwork
Pumpkin Nail: Strawberry scented neon pink

Take a black light to your polish collection and let me know if you find any surprising glow-ers!!! lol

MY NAILS ARE BACK!

Yes. I am SCREAMING right now! I am so happy!!! 

I stopped biting my nails years ago and whenever they break off it always seems to take them MONTHS to finally grow back and for the sides to heal...I get horrible hang nails when my nails break...So I am thrilled they are finally (somewhat) back to normal! lol 

I took a few hours tonight and sat down with my old friends...and this is what I came up with. Just something simple to try to get myself back into the nail art practice. My hands don't seem to be as steady as they were before but Im sure that will get better in time! 


I will most definitely be posting more nail pics from now on and I hope I never break a nail again lol Its a long shot but I can hope!!!
