MSMD Monday: Checker Print like Rebecca

Hey everyone

For this edition of Monkey See Monday Do Monday we have Rebecca from Rebecca Likes Nails! She's my favorite blogger and anytime I can replicate her nails, it's a win in my book. Today's pattern is a stamp design. Now I haven't done an actual stamp in forever. Stamp Sunday quickly ended. This is my warning that they are not perfect, but stamping isn't always perfect. 

I started off with OPI's My Boyfriend Scales Walls on all of my nails except for my ring finger which has Zoya's Katy. I then added Maybelline's Clearly Spotted on my ring finger. (Look out for the full review of 3 of the new Maybelline's Polka Dot collection soon!). Using Wet N Wild's Black Cream and Salon Express Plate SE22 I created the checker pattern on the other nails. 

Here's Rebecca's nails here. I hope you guys like them and that I did Rebecca justice! :)

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.
