Pink Wednesday-Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

As I've said before, beside nails and makeup, I also have quite the love of shoes. I think I have well over 100 pairs..which is really bad now when I think about it. Shoes are great though. They make you feel sexy when you're having a bad day. You can go shopping for them and they never make you feel fat. They can really make an outfit. Etc..

To make this shoe mani really special, I added a bling accent nail, which was a major pain in the ass! The thing that really bothered me about this mani was less than 24 hours after I finished the polish just peeled right off! I was beyond pissed!I think the culprit was old Seche Vite that was maybe too thick.

I <333 this mani so damn much! I really have to use that shoe stamp again soon!

This bling accent nail was a major pain! Next time I'm doing it was rhinestones!

 To make this blingy accent nail, first I painted the nail silver with Wet n'Wild's Silvivor.  I worked in sections starting from the cuticle. I did a strip of top coat then placed a row or two of sequins on it before it dried. I used a toothpick to pick up the sequins. I also did a gradient of sorts, starting with 2 rows of a transparent opalescent color, then two rows of an opaque opal color and then three of a purple holo color.

I hope that makes sense. Next time I do it I'll try to make a tutorial.

There's some pink in there, so I think it qualifies for  Pink Wednesday :)

What I Used:

Base Color:Wet n' Wild Cancun  

Stamping:

Color: OPI DS Signature

Plate:BM213

52 Week Challenge:(I hate) Valentines Day

Single or not, I hate the crap out of Valentines day. I'm not super girly, or mushy, or one to like expensive jewelry or roses (ok, maybe some black ones), never been one for PDA, and stuffed animals make me want to puke. Call me cynical or jaded. For me just spending time with the person you love maybe getting some good food is all I need.
So, I did somewhat of an anti-Valentines day mani. Still complete with the classic red color scheme but with a hit of badass.

This was a lot of fun to do! It been a while since I freehanded leopard spots, and the heart & crossbones was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be.

 Making that red color was an adventure in layering on it's own!

• 1 coat Sinful Colors-Under 18
• 1 coat China Glaze-Riveter Rouge
• 2 coats Finger Paints- Flashy

I think it was worth it though, because using all those colors and textures gave the color a great depth, in my opinion. 

I tried my best to moisturize my cuticles, but Winter can't be stopped.

 Also I usually don't wear red, so it was a fun change of pace, that I am really enjoying.

 I hope you guys enjoyed it! :)
