Valentines Day Nail Struggle

So for Valentines Day, I wanted to do something very cute and girly with my nails.

Even though we won't be going out, I wanted to do it for myself.

But then I had to come up with a cute but simple design...

It's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.

I did a couple simple ones and had my daughter help me on others. She loves picking out the colors. We also did her nails and eventually I did end up doing one I really liked.

I will list the the colors I used below all the pictures.

Here are some of my attempts at my own Valentines Day Nails:

Flowers

I've really been into flowers on my nails!! All kinds but right now, those little flowers made up of dots. Super cute and easy!
I have tried many ways to do them, such as:
Bobby Pins
Sewing Pins
Pencil/Pen Tips
Toothpicks
and I even tried using a plastic fork with all but the two outside prongs off. I filed one down to make it bigger.
I use dotting tools as well but lost the one I had and wanted to experiment with other ways to make dots. I have now a new set but was still impressed with the "homemade" versions!
Back to the flowers...
I have been kind of obsessed with them and put them on my nails somehow in almost all designs!

In the previous posts, I did flowers in the jelly sandwich nails and and flowers for my 4th of July nails. As I said, I'm obsessed lol
Well here are some more of my flowers nails.
Just thought I'd show you and some of the colors I used!

The first are red nails with white and brown flowers and an accent nail on each hand of a brown base with red and white flowers.
The polishes I used were:
Sally Hansen - White On
Julep Little Lights - Jameson
SinfulColors - Nirvana
Julep - Freedom Top Coat

Looks really good on the sun!

The Second flower look was less Fall and more Summer!!

I wanted flowers but less than the look above. So I added one small flowers on all the nails in the corner and covered my accent nail with them.

The polishes I used were:

Sally Hansen - White On

Julep - Reagan

Julep - Flora

Sally Hansen Top Coat - Invincible

I'll show with and without the flowers, cause I loved them both ways! And the Julep colors!

 

Hope you liked them as much as I do! Lol

Have a great week!!!

Thanks for reading :)

Mini Julep Haul

Mini Julep haul!!!
I love Julep nail polishes and was a Maven for awhile but cancelled because we moved and now that we're settled, I'll think about re-upping (Is that a word?)!
I love their formula and colors. I also really like that they name their polishes after woman!
I have my own color!! I'll show it to you but it wasn't a part of this haul.
I got these polishes last month but didn't post about them or really anything in a long time! I was lazy!!! Sorry!
Moving on.. I am posting them now! I did another haul of what I got from Walmart and such in my last post.
These polishes are by far the most expensive I have ever had!!! They are around $15 a bottle. I will post a link to their site and subscription boxes.
I hope you enjoy!

First couple are from a Maven box I didn't want but the skip didn't go through (More on that later...). they were understanding and refunded my money. I offered to send them back, but they told me to keep them. Which was very nice!! They box came with 3 polishes, as always and I gave away the purple sheer because I already had it and then didn't take a picture of it. Sorry.

Here they are:
Savory
Jennine
Mariska
Glenda
Little Lights Mini Collection
And the Freedom Top Coat

I loved them all!! the Stardust is like Zoya Pixie dust! But not too similar. It does dry matte and textured but I find its more Opaque than Zoya! Glenda is a crackle ( I know...)!
And Mariska came in a summer set, I have to find the others! I will probably post all my Juleps in a collection post. I cannot wait for Winter to use all the Little Lights collection! I used the red in a flower mani, I will post that soon too!
Going back to the begining about Julep. I really hate that they changed their skip policy. I kinda can see why they did but that's one reason I unsubscribed from the service. You can only skip a box 1-3 times a year instead of whatever box you didn't want. And they are about $30 a box, a month!
I know it's nothing to complain about but that's my reason for it. I might become a Maven again but for now, I think I'm going to just see what colors they have I might want!
