This is really super not my style...

This is really super not my style, but I try with holidays sometimes because my stamping plates often have holiday images and when else am I going to use them?  😂

The candy hearts were a stamping plate image and usually they would be all one color, but I used the image several times with several different polishes, top-coated them while they were on my stamper, then painstakingly cut them apart and applied them to my nails.  Totally kicking myself after the fact for not using a pink, but it's too late now.  😕

I really need to make a collage of my Valentine's Day nail photos.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to do Valentine's nails...

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to do Valentine's nails to go with this ring, but I didn't.  Life isn't working out like that right now.  Maybe next year.

Might share a few nail pics from when I had time in my life.  😂  I used to look festive... on my nails - at least.  😛

This is the other polish ring I made the other day.

This is the other polish ring I made the other day.  I used my favorite color - Essie Demure Vixen.  If no one else likes this ring I might keep it for myself.  😂

This is the neutral color...

This is the neutral color I was complimented on so long ago.  It was really hard to find something that worked with my skin tone and I actually think that Shauna gave me this.  I don't think I even picked it out.  😂  So she did a great job!

I've wanted to do the glitter gradient tips for SO long.  Finally, here they are.  And a little heart because I don't know when to stop.  😂

These look all Valentine's Day...

These look all Valentine's Day, but that was not my intention.  Oh well.  😂

Trying to get in the mood...

Trying to get in the mood for Valentine's Day.  I don't really celebrate any holidays.  Not willingly, anyway.  😂  But it's always fun to challenge myself to come up with something that would go with them.  😃

Pardon all the paper cuts on my cuticles.  I've been doing some hard core office work this week.

My red polish that I stamped over the pink didn't show up so great... so I took a red glitter and a tiny paintbrush and painted over it.  I was pleasantly surprised with how well I stayed "inside the lines" - so to speak.  😃

Lacey nails!

Lacey nails!  I wanted to post this before I jacked them up.  I'm about to go and wash my lizards.  Separately, of course.  🙂

Sorry for this crappy photo

Sorry for this crappy photo, but I'm not going out in the rain just to get a photo without a wonky cast (Damn you, fluorescent lighting!) These nails are pink and red. Just basic, ugly pink and red. Nothing special. 😂

I did these last night. I think they turned out nice, but Valentine's is not a holiday I celebrate, (nor do I like these colors), so I might have to take them off today and do something I can live with. Blegh.

In ❤ with Shaun.

I guess these might have been better reserved for Valentine's Day or some crap, but no holiday tells me how to feel or when to feel it!  I DO WHAT I WANT!

Anyway, I thought these were cute and I totally impressed myself with that straight-ass stamping.  Practice makes you better, for sure!  🙂

This was my first foray into layering stamps. I like it!

These images were from two of my new smaller plates.  I wish I'd used a warmer pink and that my shimmer behind the swirls was showing up.  Maybe out in the sun it will.  I still think they are cute, though.  This was my first foray into layering stamps.  I like it!  😃
