Valentine's Manicure--Take 1

Before I kick off my Valentine's Day manicures for 2013, I want to thank you all for your patience and support over the past couple of weeks.  Your thoughtful emails, cards, and even your gracious gifts have made me smile.  I love all of you so very much!  With that being said...

We all love a little romance in our lives.  We love to love one another.  Valentine's Day reminds us to love one another.  Whether you're single, dating, married, etc. I hope you spread love to others over the next week.

This "season" of love also is an excellent excuse to include hearts, glitter, pink, and red in any and every manicure.  I have created a couple of Valentine's Day/love inspired manicures for your viewing pleasure:)

Valentine's Manicure #1

Today's edition includes fun layering, flakies, metallics, rhinestones, and purple.  I used a base coat of bright metallic purple on all nails.  Then I carefully added 3 pink rhinestone hearts to create an accent nail.  Finally, I used a flakie packed red jelly polish as a topper for my other nails.  I really love the effect the layered polishes create.  I think I will have to wear it on all fingers sometime.

Nail polishes used to create this manicure: Barielle Rio's Rockin' Bands and Elle's Spell
