Reveal your heart to me

Okay, I couldn't resist redoing my nails before tomorrow for Valentine's day! My previous design was starting to chip slightly after being about a week old. I could have help it longer, but I'm glad I changed them. Although this design is less Valentine-obvious, I prefer this one. This isn't the easiest of designs I've done, but that might be because I'm not the greatest at leopard prints just yet. As far as difficulty goes, it isn't nearly as hard as my Mario scene nails... although perhaps nothing ever will be.

This design turned out a lot better on my left hand because I'm right handed, so that is my preferred hand this week, despite my short nail which has decided to take AGES to grow out). So, to create this design I first painted my nails completely while after a base coat with Sally Hansen's "Nearly Nude". I need to buy a new white, I'm running out. I was also using her "Rapid Finish" spray that I LOVE, and when trying to buy more I found out that it's discontinued. Sucky! Anyway... once the white dried, I painted the corners of my nails with Quo by Orly "True Love". How would I describe that shape. Triangles? Well try to make it look as though the pink is unzipping, anyway. Once the pink was dry, I drew a leopard print design (the small detail the better, in my eyes, but you might prefer a bigger print) with Nail Jazz... I don't know, it's a dark purple that has no name. I drew tiny 'C's and circles and dots to create this effect. Then I took MigiNailArt "Silver" and drew little lines running perpendicular up the sides of the pink (or white) to make them look like zipper teeth. Finally, I used MigiNailArt "Metallic Red" and drew a tiny heart in the wider end of the white area. I had to make sure that this design was completely dry before applying a top coat. This design smudges easily!

It's a photo montage! And yes, in one of those picture's I'm holding a false nail. I like to practice some of my designs before I place them on my real nails just incase they don't work out as planned. I think this is one of my favourite designs. I hope you liked it too! Thanks for reading!
