Holo Matte Hearts

Hello Lovelies!  Happy Monday to you all!  Today, I have a super quick nail art design for you.  I recently won a lovely giveaway from I.AM...Custom Color Cosmetics and I couldn't wait to use some of my goodies, so I threw together this quick mani using some of my prizes (not all items used are from the giveaway)...


Materials I used:
Basecoat - Dream Polish 'Smooth Gem'
Pink Holo - Glisten & Glow 'Raspberry Margarita'
Quick drying topcoat - Glisten & Glow 'HK Girl'
Heart shaped nail vinyls from Nails Redesigned
Matte polish - Bad Bitch Polish 'Masker'

After applying my protective ridge filler base coat, I applied two coats of bright pink holo polish.  I topped this with a layer of quick drying topcoat, because I am using vinyls to create my design.


Once, my topcoat was dry, I applied a couple of heart outline vinyls to my ring finger.  I applied a layer of matte polish over top, and than immediately removed the vinyls.  When working with vinyls or tapes and a matte polish, it is important to work quickly to prevent pulling.  I recommend if you are doing multiple fingers to work one finger at a time.


I repeated this process on my pinky finger, as well.  Then I performed a bit of cleanup with gentle acetone and a brush.  I did not apply any topcoat to my pinky or ring finger because I didn't want to negate the matte affect.


I love this color combination, the dark teal green and the bright pink really pop.  I also like the contrasting finishes too.  This makes a great Valentine's Day mani or just a cute mani to wear any ol' time.  I hope you enjoyed this nail art design.  Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.


Your Fellow Plebe,
