Happy Valentine’s Day everybody!  Hope y’all have something planned that’s low-stress and high-fun.

I had to do *something* romantic-ish for today’s mani, so I started with a three coat (oh yeah, it needed it) base of Mattese Elite Dirty Slut — I swear I didn’t even look at the name til just now, it was one of the untried buggers that I needed to get off the counter.  Once all that dried, I added some newspaper print transfer from the Gambit and then drew in some little conversation hearts with acrylic.  That didn’t totally work for me but whatever, they’re cute!

Also, just switched to a different camera for these (you may have noticed in past pictures a creeping black fuzz at the bottom; that black bar is now right in the middle of every picture taken, so that’s awesome, thanks Sony!  Because don’tcha know I already shipped this back to them to fix it and… it’s still/more f*cked) so bear with me a bit while I figure out the sweet spot settings on the Nikon.  These pics came out a little more yellow than normal (I did color correct on the polish so that was accurate to what I was seeing, it’s really a sort of muddy-mauve/purple color) so it looks like the Nikon outdoor color setting isn’t the same as Sony.  One to grow on.

(ps I still hate letters — practice better make perfect dangit!)
