Valentine's Day Manicure #2

     I started my new job today and there are a few things I need to get done at home (including finishing my hubby's Valentine's Day card), so I just wanted to show a few quick pictures of the manicure I'm sporting today.
     In the pictures I am wearing OPI Meep-Meep-Meep from last year's Muppets collection. I will post a full review of this polish soon. It is such a gorgeous Valentine's Day color! For the silver heart I used OPI Your Royal Shine-ness from the Serena Glam Slam collection. I used a dotting tool and a tiny paint brush for the heart.
What do you think of this simple manicure? What will you be wearing on your nails this Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day Manicure #1

     I've been trying to come up with some Valentine's Day themed manicures this month to show you guys. This will be our first Valentine's Day being married for my hubby and I. Yay! I hope we have some fun plans.
     Today's post is a "Valentine's Day Colors" themed manicure involving pinks and purples. The pink base is actually a bunch of colors I mixed in the Sinful Colors bottle; I can't remember what all went in the franken-polish. I also put some glitter in the franken, too. I was actually somewhat pleased with the franken, but I wish there was more glitter in it. For the tips, I just used the purple and hot pink Cosmetic Arts polishes I found at Ross. I just painted two lines on every nail to make the V-shaped tip.

 Please excuse the leftover red glitter still on my middle finger from a previous manicure. lol

What do you think? Will you be doing any special Valentine's Day manicures this year?

My Attempt at a Valentines' Day Classic Pinup Look

For Valentines' Day this year I decided to make an attempt at the classic 'pinup' girl look, with thick, black, winged eyeliner, a neutral eyeshadow, bronzed cheeks, and a fiery red lip.

In the look below I used:

Chanel Mat Lumiere Foundation in Clair 1.0 all over face

Tarte Park Ave Princess Mineral Bronzer under my cheekbones

Urban Decay Primer Potion as a base on the eyelids

Smashbox Eyeshadow in Vapor on the eyelids

Stila Smudge Pot in Black for winged eyeliner

Stila Major Lash Black Mascara

Benefit Eye Bright Pencil for lower waterline

Stila Kitten Eyeshadow (I know it's an eyeshadow, but I love it for a highlighter!) for above the cheekbones and brow bones

For the above lip look I used Tarte LipSurgence Natural Matte Lip Stain in Fiery as a base with MAC Venomous Villains Cruella DeVil Lipglass in Wicked Ways on top for a glossy finish.

    Overall, I was happy with the look, however, I wish I would've made the winged eyeliner shorter and more curled at the edges. Have you ever tried the 'pinup' look? How did you do your makeup this Valentines'? ♥
