I always had a tendency to day-dream and doodle in the side margins of my school notes, haven’t done it in a while but it was a great time-killer!

My freehand skills are still pretty messy but I think that adds to the “doodle” idea!

I used 2 coats of butter London Cotton Buds as my base.

I used Milani Sugar High on my pinky.

I “doodled” with Urban Outfitters Blue Velvet, American Apparel Parakeet, and Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas.

Playing catch-up for the next few days. Worst flare in a year, could barely walk let alone work a nail polish brush 🙂 Hopefully I will be caught up in a few days.

For this theme, I also incorporated the Crumpet’s Tri-Polish Tuesday manicure!

 

Image

 

I used 2 coats of Nails Inc. Foubert’s Place as my base.

I dotted with Color Club Mrs. Robinson and I stamped with Milani Dark Coffee and Bundle Monster plate BM 322.

I do not have the biggest sweet tooth but I love eating chocolate-covered strawberries around Valentine’s Day! I have no preference between white or milk chocolate…they are both good to me! 🙂

 

Image

 

I do not own a true red so I layered a couple of layers of OPI Do You Think I’m Tex-y? over OPI Red Lights Ahead…Where?.

I added “strawberry seeds” with a cuticle stick and Color Club Almost Famous and Sephora by OPI Ms. Can’t Be Wrong.

I drizzled with Milani Dark Coffee and butter London Cotton Buds.

 

I hope you enjoy!

I have never been huge on Valentine’s Day but I do love the color schemes!

Since my stamping and freehand detailing were shot during this flare, I used the sponging technique. I LOVE LOVE LOVE HOW THIS CAME OUT.

It kind of reminds me of galaxies!

 

Image

 

I used 2 coats of Chanel Gondola as my base.

I sponged with Zoya Reece, Color Club Warhol, Sinful Colors Secret Admirer and China Glaze Caribbean Temptation.

 

Eeep! I hope you enjoy this manicure as much as I do!

The first thing I thought of were my pets “hiding” themselves away. Affie is particularly good at it and she will be in my next Flashback Friday post!

Affie is a white dog, hiding in a white couch and I couldn’t quite capture the look on my nails. Instead, I went for a more traditional take on animals hiding amongst the foliage!

 

ImageI used 2 coats of Zoya Suvi as my base.

Polishes used for Detailing:

  • Zoya Giovanna
  • Sephora by OPI I Come in Peas, Go My Own Way
  • Wet n Wild Black Creme
  • butter London Cotton Buds
  • SpaRitual Howl

I dotted with Sephora by OPI Go My Own Way and Revlon Parfumerie Fresh Linen.

I applied Seche Vite to set the dots before connecting them with butter London Cotton Buds.

I finished with a generous dose of INM Northern Lights top coat.

What makes us a geek? Is it the clothes we wear? The subjects we study? Nope, it is our own DNA, our own blood! We all geek out about one thing or another. Embrace it! I certainly do! 🙂

This manicure also serves for The Crumpet’s Tri-Polish Tuesday Challenge as well.

 

Image

 

I used 2 coats of Nails Inc. Foubert’s Place. This polish actually cracked on my third finger as it was drying. Has that happened to anyone else?

I stamped with Milani Dark Coffee and MoYou London plate 03 from the Scholars Collection.

I “blood-splattered” with Chanel Le Vernis Gondola.

 

I hope you enjoy!
