I painted two coats of Claire's Snow Ball, then used my Kiss black striper polish to draw a curving diagonal across each nail. I filled in the tips with Claire's Black Hole. I then used my Kiss white nail striper for the white diagonal stripe. I used Konad special polish in Black Pearl and BM IP #09 for the heart image (using a Q-tip with acetone to remove the splashes for all nails but my thumb. I used Claire's Black Hole and my embossing stylus to make the dots.
Top coat and voila! My "Black Black Heart" mani. Oh. This must mean I'm diggin' it. It has a pet name already!
I experienced Shrinkage with my Seche Vite this time around, so today I'll be switching up my naildo. I picked up some cool new Kiss Art colors for striping so maybe I'll play with those!

Love it! You deserve all your followers I am sure that your blog will grow to be a lot bigger in no time ;)
ReplyDeleteI am not a Seche Vite fan.. try Poshe or Sally Hansen Insta-Dri if you haven't already I like them a lot better.
Nicole: Oh Thank you Nicole! Your blog is one of my favorites to visit. I check in every day! I sure appreciate the compliment.
ReplyDeleteDomestic Goddess: Thank you so much! I would have let the splash on all the nails but I didn't have enough room. well the evening I did this manicure the tips were fines, but when I woke up in the morning I had a little white sliver of my nail tip showing, as though as the Seche set it dragged the polish back with it. I read a neat entry about Seche Vite on All You Desire's Blog. Here is the link.
Susie1955: :) Thank you much!
tasha: *blushies* Thanks, yo.
I will look into Posh for sure, and I was using Sally Hansen Quick Dry, but I got a bottle with a really bum brush, and also was noticing a lot of trouble when it made my stamp art smear, but it's my next best thing. :) I've actually tried very few top coats so far.
great job! i love it! =)
