Don't You Leave Me Broken Hearted Tonight

Hey everyone

Today's design is in preparation for Valentine's Day. I'm actually going through a divorce and will be alone on Valentine's Day for the first time in 7 years. So I had to do a "sad" design for all those singles or V-Day haters out there. This was also day 1 for the Nail Art February Challenge on Instagram.

I started out this design with Zoya's Dove. Then I used Red Angel Plate RA-114 and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear for the gray hearts. Lastly I used Salon Express Plate SE-21 with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Wined up for the big hearts. I love them. I later put a matte top coat on and loved them more. Wish I would have done that from the start. But these are still cute. 

Tattoos like Rebecca

Hey everyone

It's not really a secret that Rebecca from Rebecca Likes Nails is my favorite nail blogger. I've followed her for a few years now. I only wish I was as talented as she is. A while back Rebecca did this design featuring tattoos. I didn't have all of the same stamps that she did, but I made due with what I had.

I started off with Love & Beauty in Camel. 

It's a perfect nude for me. I'm fairly certain they have discontinued this color, so when I run out I will be heartbroken. I have a hard time with nudes because I'm so pale that I practically reflect. Yet my hands are typically red around my fingers so I have to watch out for lobster claws. 

To achieve this look I used Wet N Wild's Black Cream and a few Stamping Plates:

• BM 05: Stars on Thumb
• BM 21: Smaller stars on Index
• BM 08: Anchor on Index
• RA 116: Rose on Middle
• SE 19: Butterflies on Middle
• RA 115: Wings on Ring
• BM 13: Cross on Pinky

The wings and cross are a little strange looking to me. But I really enjoy the other fingers. I finished of the design with a few extra stars and some dots all over. I hope you guys like this design. Check out Rebecca's fantastic work as well!
