Inter-Galactic Valentines with Loki's Nail Vinyls

Hi Goddesses

Today I have some more nail vinyls to show you, which I was sent for review by Loki's Nail Vinyls.  They are all Valentine related, and I used half of them in this mani.  (I am hoping to get another mani done later in the week showing you the other vinyls, because they are mix and match 2-parters, which sounds quite clever!)

I have called this one Inter-Galactic Valentines as the base looks somewhat of a galazy type mani to me, and I deliberately added extra colours and the vinyls in such a way as to accentuate this.

Let's deconstruct - the base is the gorgeous In Blossom from Literary Lacquers, and you can see this in it's full solo beauty next week.  On top, I splodged in a variety of pinks - You Better Pink by OPI, and Salmon and Powder Pink by w7.

Firstly, I added heart stickers to the ring finger.  I then used  the stencils these created to add the hearts on the index and pinkie fingers (using In Blossom) and then added a matte top coat.

For the middle finger and thumb, I used the XO stickers.  So that they didn't just look "plonked"  I added some edging with In Blossom, and I'm really glad I did, as it gives the mani a more edgy feel.

I deliberately mixed whether the nails were glossy or matte, for effect.

I love Loki's Nail Vinyls, they're such good quality.  And even though they come from Oz, they arrive quickly and just squeaking to be let out of the envelope for playtime.  Ok, maybe I embellised a leeeeeetle :)   These vinyls were sent to me for an honest review and can be purchased HERE.

31DC2015 Day 12 - Film - Reservoir Dogs

Hi Goddesses

I think I've said before, I hate film / TV / music prompts. Not because there isn't stuff I love, just because it's really hard to be put on the spot and think of something suitable at the right time.

It's a miracle I came up with this one!  I Googled film posters, and initially saw The Blues Brothers.  I knew I had ties and sunglasses from Loki's Nail Vinyls, and that was going to be my plan, until on the next row I saw .... Reservoir Dogs.

Never having wanted to watch Blues Brothers, but full of stun and awe for Reservoir Dogs, my choice was made.   It's the most breathless and wrecked I have ever felt in a cinema, and I remember it being 3 or 4 days before I could shake off the impact the film had on me.

I used my Loki's Nail Vinyls for the ties, and then did some splattering with diluted red polish.   I tried to paint the ear but yeh, me and painting, so in the end I homaged that scene with a switchblade.

I'm actually quite thrilled with how this one turned out.
