Looking through my Jamberry collection, I found the very pink wraps that I won last year in Jamberry's Mother's Day giveaway. They're much more pink and frilly than I like for my everyday style, but they're totally perfect for Valentine's Day, so I decided to use two of them!
Thus far, every time I've donned Jamberries I've had to remove them within a day. Despite my best efforts I always end up with ripples at my nail tips AND at my cuticles. Ugh. But then one of my friends showed me the baseball method! Cutting a tiny notch out of the side (or two sides, if your nails are suuuuper curved) allows the wrap to actually lay flat on my nail. It only took about an extra 30 seconds per wrap and it allowed me to don the wraps for a few days until I was ready to redo my nails!
This was also the first time I tried out the cloud mani. It was super easy - although deciding what order I should arrange the colors in took a while thanks to my indecisiveness. ;) The darker purple at my cuticles is Zoya Demi, the lightest shade in the middle is Zoya Rue, and the medium rosy pink at my nail tips is Zoya Kate. (Yay Kate!)
I didn't think to make a tutorial for this, so here's a link to the one that I followed to achieve this look. Some day, I will remember that I bought a tripod for my phone so I can take videos of my nail art!
Derek and I went out to dinner on Saturday night to our favorite Mexican place, and we spent Sunday watching Netflix and playing games. (I may or may not have played Sims 3 for a couple of hours.) What did you do for Valentine's Day? More importantly, what did you put on your nails for the holiday? Let me know in the comments!
