Amor con Besos y Abrazos

On myself, not ready to part with the jewelled nails yet I added some Valentine details ontop. Please see the 'Jewelled Nails - Lapis Lazuli and Amethyst' post for more information about the nails base.

I used a neon pink Sharpie to write Love and a red Sharpie to add hearts on the left hand. On the thumb I drew hugs (orange Sharpie) and kisses (pink sharpie) and a heart (red Sharpie) in the bottom corner.

On the left hand I used a neon pink Sharpie to write Amor (love in Spanish and a small nod to my rather confused nationality) and a red Sharpie to add hearts on the left hand. I did the same on the right hand thumb as the left hand thumb. (Sadly the m in amor did not come out very clearly in this image).

Hope you all had a good Valentines day!

Jewelled Nails - Lapis Lazuli and Amethyst

With the 18K Gold Top Coat I tried to create a Lapis Lazuli effect on the nails.

Lapis Lazuli Inspiration

I used Motcomb Street by Nails inc. London as my base navy colour and put a coat of Pearly Malachite Green (shade 300) by Kiko to add more sheen and lighten the blue. On my ring finger I used Cabaret by Gina Tricot in order to get a purple Amethyst colour (subtle birth stone idea with the birthday around the corner). 

Then the 18 K Gold top coat by OPI Sephora on top of all of the nails.

A very pretty jewelled effect was obtained ^_^
