I feel like I've not posted in so long! We had two sets of company stay with us this weekend, needless to say I'm ecstatic I have the day off to recover =D. This was my actual Valentine's mani, and I'm sorry to say it was a fail. I thought the layering of hearts would have been better defined, but the purple didn't show up very well and the coral didn't stamp too wonderfully.
I used a BC then three coats of Sally Hansen 10 day No Chip color in Lasting Lily. I then stamped the heart tip image from plate m56 with konad special pastel purple, Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Snappy Sorbet and konad special baby blue. When I used China Glaze Fast Forward, it bled pretty bad. At least my babe surprised me with a gorgeous purple Swarovski cocktail ring that I had been drooling over after Christmas.
Did you get any special surprises for the day?

I would have liked to have been surprised with that ring! Beautiful! And as with the nails, you can redo with a darker purple. Still a great idea. :)
