Valentine's Day Mani / Dance Legend - Spectrum

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I don't know if you are celebrating Valentine's Day on your part of the world, but here in Turkey we do. And everyone seems to be crazy about it... Especially store owners... LOL

I like Valentine's Day. I like the decorations and the red hearts I see everywhere. What bothers me is, lately this has been like a contest to show your love... I mean, if you really love someone, you have to buy her a diamond. Or a car for him... The bigger your diamond, the bigger your love... This, I don't approve...

Anyway, jumping on to my Valentine Mani...

My lovely friend Camilla has given me my first Dance Legend on Christmas. So I decided to give it a go...

It did not need any special bases. I wore two coats over Rejuvacote and the application was a breeze... <3

This is one of the strongest holos I have in my collection!!! It is so pretty!!!

I stamped the straight lines from Gals GA21 with Zoya Jacy, which surprisingly stamps nicely...

Lately, my nails are their longest state, so as can be seen in the photos, Gals plates were a little short for them... Yay... :)

Onver the stripes, I stamped the roses from Konad m65 with Wet'n'wild black polish. I did not use a topcoat, because I was afraid it would dull the holo...

Anyway, this is my Valentine's Mani...

Oh, if you're wondering, we are not doing anything special tonight, because unfortunately my beloved daughter is sick and has fever... So tonight will be all about digital thermometers and fever watch... :)

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!! Enjoy it for me, as well....

Before jumping to the polish, I want to show you what was inside my package....

Do I need any introduction for this? One of the best cuticle creams in the world... Well, for me anyway... I just can't get along with cuticle oil, but I love cremes....

What a lovely small cup!!! It has a nice smell too, but I need a brush to use it, my fingers don't fit in the jar... LOL

Another cute lip gloss... Unfortunately, I don't get to keep this one, because my daughter took it... :(

Exactly!!!! Fridge magnets!!! <3

Cozy pink socks...

Fimos...

Orly - Angel Eyes

Hi!

Today I have another Orly for you. This time Angel Eyes...

Angel Eyes was from the Naughty or Nice Collection. It is a clear based polish with blue glitter and holographic hexagonal glitter. You may use it alone (2-3 coats) or layer it. I chose to layer it over a blue....

Flormar 439 from 2012 Spring Summer Collection...

I used one coat of Angel Eyes over it to get this look...

Pretty, huh?

And I used Barry M silver foil to stamp the fairies from Winstonia W208... :)

I should study double stamping... :D

Flormar Satin Matte

Flormar did not upset me and came up with a new collection this month... :)

It is called Satin Matte and consists of 15 satin matte polishes.

And guess what!!!!

THEY HAVE NAMES!!!!

YAY!!!

You know, I really like polishes with names. They are easier to remember... But Turkish polishes had number instead of names. So Flormar is the first brand to have names for their polish...

Way to go Flormar... <3

I picked two shades from this collection. Orchid and Havana...

Ok, maybe they are not the most creative names in the polish history but hey, this is a start. I believe they'll come up with creative names... :)

First, Orchid...

It is a purple with a satin finish and hidden sparkles...

And here is Havana...

A brownish gold, which in my opinion is good for leopard manis... :)

These are two coats but the polishes are really pigmented. Drying time is good. Since I used these for swatching purposes, I did not test the wear time. I'll let you know when I do... :)

ORLY Miss Conduct and a Skittlette

Opps, sorry for the long pause. Apperantly, blogger did not get the dates for my pre-scheduled posts... :)

Anyway, for today, I made a skittlette using my new Orly polish... <3

Miss Conduct was on my wish list for a long time. Thanks to Titti, I own it now... :)

First of all, the term skittlette comes from the talented ChitChat Nails. She does incredibly beautiful skittlettes, well maybe because she created the look. So you should check her tutorial for Skittlettes!!!

Anyway, I used China Glaze Liquid Leather, Orly Miss Conduct and IsaDora Diamond Crush for my nails...

And for the fun part, I decided giving stamped decals a second (third, fourth... lol) try... I used the square design from Winstonia Second Generation W201. I stamped it with Barry M Silver foil. Then painted the squares with Miss Conduct. And topped them with Seche...

After they were dry, I peeled the design from the stamper and placed it on my dry nail. And applied another coat of Seche... I cleaned up with a brush dipped in acetone...

So, this method worked better for me... :)

He he, I photoshopped my thumb to this picture... Can you tell? :D

I really loved the final result this time.... <3
