Valentine’s Day kinda snuck up on me this year! My boyfriend and I were joking yesterday that we should just re-wrap a few of the Christmas gifts we gave eachother! Tres romantique, non? LOL! Actually, I’m getting over a crazy cold that really knocked me for a loop…. so I haven’t spent anytime planning our v-day, present-buying, or even painting my nails. So as a last-ditch effort I whipped together a cute mani to get me in the valentine’s mood.
I used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Commander in Chic as my base color. Then I topped it off with one coat of Maybelline Express Finish in Sparklin Kiss. The pink hearts in this topcoat are so cute and I love the way they coordinate with the brownish base color. It sorta reminds me of a box of chocolates!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day 2013!

That is so pretty.
Thank you! I’m glad I steered away from the usual pink for vday- the brown is kinda chic 🙂
Yeah, the combo is so pretty.
cute! i like it! i have had a total lack of planning this year as well! 🙂
Oh, good to know I’m not the only one 🙂
Happy vday to you!
you too 🙂
Great combo! Love the hearts 😀
Thanks darlin!! Good thing I took pics last nite… cuz this morning my whole ring finger peeled off in one big piece. Don’t you hate when that happens??
Wow for real?! Never had that but I’ve read somewhere that it can happen when the nail isn’t ‘oil free’ before painting.
that has happened to me before but it happens on my toes more often! its the worst!
I think I figured out why polish peels off like that- MOISTURE. My one nail got water on it and I figured it was dry enough so I put topcoat on. But i think the moisture that got locked in under the topcoat caused it to peel. Just a thought.
that definitely makes sense!
I know some say to clean your nails with polish remover before applying color…. but I feel like that’s just being mean to my nails! This is crazy, but I always put lotion or cuticle cream on my hands and nails before applying polish. It soaks in ok and doesn’t seem to mess up my polish. I usually only keep polish on for 2 or 3 days anyway!
Love that base color.
