And we’re back to the holidays with Valentine’s Day coming up. This one was a simple lace + something fun mani. I paired a “Call me! XOXO” stamping decal with more “XOXO”s and a mobile phone. Really in many ways my favorite part was the lace stamping image paired with a lovely thermal polish that goes from a darker wine color to a lighter pink. I own several different bottles of visible nail line blur so I got to choose the one that leans pink from Cupcake Polish to match my base polish. No VNLs today!

I rather failed to fully photograph the thermal range of this polish, but I covered it up with so much lace that I’m not sure it matters all that much. Still, they paired together well and I wouldn’t be surprised if more people liked the plain-er version of today’s mani. You really don’t have to be that explicit to create Valentine’s Day nail art. Anything pink, red or light purple will do.

A few final photos of my fancier version. I do love how the flakie’s glow matches with the rose gold stamping polish. Yum!

Until next time, friends! 💕
