valentine's day smooches

Hey everyone! You know what? I think I'm really committed to blog-revitalization this time. I even did nail art on myself like two times this week. That's a lot for me lately! I hope this is me coming back around to the nail game. I've missed it!

I even did seasonally-appropriate nails. Valentine's Day nails!
You may remember from years past that Tiffany from Nail Polish Canada is my nail-valentine and this year is no different because she sent me another lovely plate to play with. 

Muah! Lil' kisses.
I started with a base of Formula X for Sephora - Hyped, a super vibrant purple with amazing shimmer.
It dries semi-matte as most neon purples do, so you're able to quickly go in and do some stamping.
I stamped the lips image from Bundle Monster BM-H17 using a light pink stamping polish from Mundo de Unas.
Add some Seche Vite and you're done! 

Super cute for Valentine's Day, or Galentine's Day! Hope you guys are having a lovely day whatever you're up to.

If you're feelin' this mani, you can buy the plate here on its own for only $3.40! Ships free in Canada, too.

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy

Hey girls and boys!
First of all, I wanna explain my absence - as I've mentioned before I'm not feeling the best right now and I'm having a pretty serious flare up of my Crohn's disease.
I'm spending most of my time just trying to relax which doesn't leave me much time for the ol' blog. I promise I am not deserting you guys and I won't be another blogger who just randomly disappears - but I just need a bit of me-time for a while, I guess.

I'm still painting my nails (obviously) and I will make an effort to post when I am feeling up to it, but please be patient with me as I try to get my health back on track.

I found a bunch of old swatches I've been meaning to post and I might try and post some of these in the coming days! I'm gonna start with a super happy neon color to try to bring my blog back to life, haha!

China Glaze - Flip Flop Fantasy 
This is a super bright pink-coral neon that really gets attention. I don't think I have ever had so many random people ask me what color nail polish I was wearing as when I wore this one a few weeks ago.

The formula is nice and it covers in 3 coats, but it does chip pretty quickly.
(You may also notice that these photos have my old watermark. I was too lazy to redo it with the new one. Hahaha.)

I added an accent nail with Hello Kitty For Sephora - Gold Sparkle.

Do you have Flip Flop Fantasy? Do you get as many comments on it as I do?

sephora hello kitty liquid nail art - purple sprinkles - swatch and review

My HK polish came in the mail today! But sadly that was the only thing. I have no patience.
However, this little beauty will make me happy until my other goodies arrive.

So. Freaking. Cute.
I took a ton of pictures, half of them of the bottle alone. Keep reading for more!
