Rose (Valentine's Manicure)

Geez... how many more Valentine themed manicures am I going to do?? The problem is: I have soooooo many Konad plates and I want to get some use out of them all!

Before I decided to add the glitter:
I've determined that layered designs need 3 elements to look complete [in my opinion]. Don't you think my nails are missing something in this photo? That's why I added the glitter :)

Base: OPI Elephantastic Pink
Rose: M25 in Silver (Konad Special Polish)
Heart Bunch: M59 in Red (Konad Special Polish)
Glitter: Nfu Oh GS09

Here is the look pre-rose:
Personally, I like the nails with just the hearts... but I really wanted to try out that rose.

And below is a hand shot. (Pre-glitter)

    jaljen- Thank you :)

    Sanna- Thanks! That's one of the hardest parts of doing my nails!... especially with all the colors I have to choose from ;)

    Lily nail- Aww thanks!

    Gildedangel- Thank you :)

    Trincess- Haha thanks! I keep having to trim my other nails so my index finger can catch up to them! I think I like them this length though! At least I don't scratch my eyes trying to take out my contacts!! :) Glad you like my stuff! I'm really trying to get the layered look figured out... It's tricky!

    Fantastic - for me I like it more without the glitter it's such a pretty design. Hilarious that I was looking at your blog yesterday and my husband, who is so not into nail anything!, said "wow how on earth do you do that?" and he found your blog very informative!!

    I love these Vday manis! I even showed your blog to my husband.

    I have a question about Polish To Wear Now. It's February, so it's still the "winter" season. What are the Politically Correct colors to wear in February? I think it's still too early to wear light pinks. Is it too late to wear dark purples and browns? What about oranges? Any help here would be hot. Thank you!

    Thank you for ALL for the wonderful comments! :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Faith J- I don't really follow the rules as far as season-appropriate colors. I pretty much wear whatever I feel like wearing. Right now I'm wearing green, but a few days ago I wore a bright orange. Personally, I think reds and pinks are always "in" no matter what month it is... If you want to play it safe, I'd suggest choosing from the current color palette you see in clothing stores or from nail polish brands, like OPI's Fall/Winter collection. Hope that helps!
