My actual V-Day mani + an Uh-Oh

Happy Valentines Day everyone!!! Okay, since my V-day outfit consist of a black dress with red lips all over it, lol, I wanted a black mani, that was a tad edgy and girlie at the same time, but nothing too crazy since my dress was full of valentine fun. It's a dress that my mom found and thought was so cute, and decided to purchase for me since it was only $10. At first I was a little nervous about it, but I actually LOVE it, and feel very festive today :) Thanks Mom!!

Okay, I started with a base of Professional 10, Pinky Promise and then using my black Konad polish and my Bundle Monster plate BM-209, I began with this.

I then added black tips with Scotch tape using Sinful's Black on Black

Finally I added a tiny cute pink bow on my ring fingers. I attached it with a small amount of nail glue, so they stay longer. I can tell you that it lasted through a shower & sleeping :)

Now for my Uh-Oh :( See my ring finger????? Well while doing my tips the first time, a piece of tape attacked my nail, and smeared the black. It was so late at night, that I was just going to leave it, and consulted Jack on it as well. He even told me to let it be, that it was no big deal. So for about 5 minutes I agreed, then went at the removal, and did it all again, lol. There was no way I could show you guys an imperfect mani :( 

Also a pic of my OOTD wearing my dress:) (please ignore my not so cute office background)

Got a tad bit bored O_o

A couple of nights ago, I had decided that I wanted a simple delicate mani with a little sparkle. Well, that's how it began, and then I became bored so my simple mani turned into the complete opposite!

I started with 2 coats of Savina Purple Hologram polish. I love this one, it's semi sheer, with just the right amount of speckled glitter, but could I just stop there, nope. Although it's called purple, it def pulls more pink on me, which is okay by me.

I then decided some polka dots were needed. So I used China Glaze Millenium and my Bundle Monster plate, BM19. Excuse the shiny cuticles, I had just oiled up, and maybe a tad too much.

Oh but of course, it needed tips!! So I used OPI Alpine Snow Matte and tape :) Jack loved this mani!

Now, as promised, here is a pick of my almost reorganized stash. Jack counted last night, there are 799 in the case, on top, and in front on the floor, which still need to be fit in somewhere. Oh, and even after this pic, the amount on the floor has increased, eeeek. Now I have about 400-450 sitting in a box, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with those yet. At least my faves are displayed and easy to get to now. 

and a bonus pic of Jack when we were first getting started on this 3 hour project. He really is the best for helping, and being so involved in my hobby :)
