HPB Presents Water Spotted Hearts

Well, let's just say the Valentine's Day fever is on!

I created this mani just for Hobby Polish Blogger (HPB) February Link-Up. Just a background of what HPB is; it is a Facebook group of nail polish bloggers. We share information and ask for tips and advice from one another. As for me, I am a silent member there, letting all the useful information sink into me.

With that, let's move on! The theme is to create a Valentine's Day mani and so I had thought hard about what design I should do. As I have already done a few V-Day related mani, I was a little creative-blocked. 

I then started off the inspiration with techniques. So I decided I wanted some water color spotted mani and then hearts came to mind! 


So basically, I painted on alternate base colors using OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls and L.A. Colors - 11. Then, I used very watered down pink and white acrylic paints with a small brush.

I drew on hearts one by one and then using another flat dry brush, I used it to suck up the water paint, leaving a heart stain. I then repeat this step over and over again until I am satisfied with the intensity and feel of the design.

I then sealed off with a nice glossy top coat. I think I prefer the white hearts with the pink base, whcih do you guys prefer? Let me know in the comments below :)

Also, here is a link-up of other bloggers who participated!

Hello girlfriends!!

Today I have an interesting nail art which was on my to-do list, and finally I tried it! Cut-out hearts, or some may call it negative space hearts? IDK, haha! Anyway, I found a few methods to do this mani. You could either (1) paint your nails, then using a cotton bud dipped into nail polish remover and erase out the polish in the shape of a heart or (2) draw out a heart, color in the outside


Well, I did the first method because I feel that it is faster in a way (although the hearts may seem funny LOL). Also, I outlined the heart with a shiny gold polish (SH Golden-I). This reminds me of Christmas or Valentine's Day. But oh well, love is everyday, right?




Ah yes, I almost forgot to mention that I used Ciate's topcoat! It is really good too! I like it (:



What do you think of negative space manis? I initially didn't fancy the thought of showing my bare nails in the midst of my nail art. But tbh, this looks cute!
