Love is in the air….or is it? Wait, it’s not Valentine’s Day, it’s day 18 of the OMD3 Nail Art Challenge and today’s theme is: LOVE NAILS! I’ve done many negative heart space love nails in the past so for today’s love nails, I wanted to do something a little different. When I think of love, yes I think of hearts but I also think red and pink so those were the colours that inspired my look.
Polishes used: essie brides no groom (see swatch), happy wife, happy life (see swatch) and The Body Shop Oh, Petal (see swatch).
I started using 3 hole punch reinforcements, but my nails are a funny shape so the curve wasn’t curved enough for me, so I then just used the regular nail polish brush which was much easier as you don’t have to wait for drying time. That said, I feel like the photos make the colours look like badly drawn thick lines, rather than curves…oh well.
I wanted to see what these love nails would like with a matte top coat, so I added essie matte about you top coat.
Which do you prefer? Matte or glossy?
Until next time,
