Happy Valentine's Day sweet beauties!

Last night my boyfriend said that my increasing excitement about Valentine's Day was scary - as if! 

This is what's on my nails this February 14th, using a dotting tool I totally went to town on my talons. After I had finished my slightly OTT nail art I topped it off with Revlon's Colorstay Gel-Shine Top Coat....OMG! It is amazing, seriously it glides on and creates the most glossy amazing finish to your nails. Dry time is about 10mins, but once it is dry there is no budging this stuff - total new favourite!

P.S What's on your nails this Valentine's Day?

Just Another Manicure Monday : Bright Tips

China Glaze 'Nude' $11.40 + Fine Paint Brush + Revlon 'Knock out' $13.60+ Rimmel 'Green with Envy' $4.50 + OPI 'Mod About You' $14.60 +  Revlon 'Royal' $13.60 + Yves Saint Laurent 'Fuchsia Neo- Classic' $35.00

Contrast or bright tips are a nail trend which I have been desperate to perfect for a while, trying over and over again to do the tip using the brush directly from the bottle. It looked horrendous! WHAT A MESS! Then I picked up a few fine point paint brushes from the bargin store and since then my bright tips have been effortlessly neat and sassy!


-Apply your base coat a nude or lighter colour is best
-Map out your tip with a small about of polish on the paint brush
-Then go back in with a thicker application of polish
