Win or Fail Nails - Another Valentines Mani

Hey y'all.  I have another Valentines mani to share.  I've always shared all my mani's, even if I'm not 100% happy with them.  Win or fail?  Y'all decide.  It wasn't quite how I planned, but still kinda cute IMO.

I started off with a base of Candii Blossom Lavender Gardens.  Then I did a glitter gradient with Ninja Polish Girly Floam.  For the accent nail I dotted on a heart with Zoya Areej and Zoya Monica.  It looked a little blah, so I put some Girly Floam around the outside edge of it.

I would have liked the heart to look WAY different, but it is what it is....and it's still cute.

What do y'all think?

A Girly Purple Spongey Layer

This past weekend I wanted to play around with some untrieds and instantly thought PURPLE.  I grabbed a few and realized I have absolutely NO straight purple glitters.  Meaning, purple glitter in a clear base. 

I grabbed a swatch wheel and tried something & just went with it.  And here's my result....

I started out with 2 coats of Color Club Fashion Addict.  Then when that was almost dry, I sponged Color Club Wild At Heart onto about half the nail.  I couldn't leave that alone, so I let it dry a little and put a thin layer of Ninja Polish Girly Floam over the top & finished off with a top coat. 

The holo didn't show up too well in my pictures and I forgot to take them when it was actually sunny out, BUT it's gorgeous.  I don't want to take it off, but there's a few ideas I have that I want to try out. 

Also, I've had this on since Friday and have been washing dishes, cleaning, cooking, etc.
