Love Month. Day 14: Happy Valentine's Day!

( Source )
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! :)
Whether you celebrate V-Day or not, I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day and weekend! Don't forget to show your loved ones that you appreciate them (not just today, but every day) and I hope you feel loved today too. ♥
I thought I would take this opportunity to say that I love every one of you & am so so so thankful that you are here reading my blog right now!
I also want to say a big I LOVE YOU to all of my friends and family (though I'm not sure if any of you will be reading this...), and especially my fiancé Russ. :) ♥ Happy Valentine's Day!
Just a reminder, that after today, my Love Month posts will only go up on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Love Month. Day 12: Valentine's Day Lippies.

I'm so sorry that today's post is up super late, again. :( I have tomorrow's post ready to go up at the regular time, though, so I should be back on track now!
Anyway, onto today's post...
I've only started wearing lip colour in the last 8-ish months, but I have acquired quite a little collection if I do say so myself, so I thought today I would show you my favourites, which also happen to be perfect for Valentine's Day! ♥

Love Month. Day 8: Gold and Pink Valentines Mani.

I've had my DSLR camera for about 2 months now and I only just figured out how to use the live view function (so you don't have to look through the little viewfinder thing). Yep, took me 2 months to figure out how to turn it on. All I was doing wrong was that I didn't press the 'ok' button. Seriously?!
Anyway. Nevermind that. Today I have a short post to show you another Valentine's Day nail look. I really like this one.

My skin colour looks fairly alien-like in these photos... Please excuse that.

For this manicure I used China Glaze Something Sweet (baby pink), Loki's Lacquer Scrooged (glitter) and OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips (hot pink).

I really like the pink and gold colour combination right now!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. ♥

Love Month. Day 3: V-Day Polish Picks.

Hi guys! For the third day of Love Month, I thought I'd share my favourite polishes for Valentine's Day with you. I have quite a few to share, so I'll get right into it!
Pink and red are obviously the most popular colours for Valentine's Day, and I think OPI does pinks and reds the best.

Three of my favourite light pinks from OPI are Mod About You - a very pale, opaque baby pink, Pink Friday - a classic lighter Barbie pink, and Chic From Ears to Tail - another pastel pink, but with a subtle silver shimmer (I only have a mini - I need the full size!).

If you're into a more sheer pink, my favourite is I Theodora You, also from OPI.

If you're into textured polishes, OPI's Liquid Sand in Magazine Cover Mouse is a pretty red with a gold shimmer.
A classic hot pink that I love is Kiss Me On My Tulips. Or if you're more of a lavender girl, you can't go past Lucky Lucky Lavender.

Another beautiful hot pink, with a purple undertone is Flirt by piCture pOlish (appropriate name for V-Day! ;)). This one also has a flawless formula. You can get away with just one coat!

February is summer time here in Aussieland, so I had to include a nice neon pink. My favourite is Bottoms Up by China Glaze. The formula on this one is less than perfect, so it will take a bit of patience, but the end result is awesome.

A classic bright red option is Ever Reddy by Covergirl, from the Outlast Stay Brilliant line. This one is available pretty much everywhere. It has a jelly-ish sort of finish.

For the glitter gals! Ulta3 Disco Fever is a great red glitter that's pretty easy to find, and only $2! It would look cute over any of the light pink polishes I mentioned above, or a red.

Haley Good Lookin' is a pretty rosy pink glitter from Nicole by OPI. NOPI is now available at most Target and Woolworths stores here in Australia, so it's fairly easy to get your hands on, if you come across a well stocked stand! This would go well over any colour, really. It has great coverage with just one coat, also.

If you prefer a purple look, China Glaze's Put a Bow On It from the 2013 Holiday collection is a nice full coverage glitter.

Last but not least, some indie glitter options!
Hearts Aflutter is a cute glitter mix that Gloss n Sparkle released for Valentine's Day last year. It's an assortment of pink, lilac and silver glitters in a clear base. It includes cute shapes like hearts and butterflies also. Ruby Soho by Emily de Molly is a nice red glitter in different sizes that would look pretty over a baby pink. And for the hot pink lovers, Blossom by Love Thy Polish is a great mix of hot pink holographic glitters.
I hope this post helped you decide what polish you might wear for Valentine's Day, or just gave you some new polishes to add to your wish list. ;)
What are your favourites for V-Day?! Let me know in a comment. :)

Love Month: Day 1.

Hi friends! Happy February!
As you can tell from the title of this post, I'm going to be starting a new series for the month of February! This month will be Love Month. ♥

This is teddy is actually one of the first of many teddy bears that my fiancé has given me over the years. :) ♥

I'll be here every single day up until Valentine's Day, with a new love-related post! After V-Day I will continue with my lovey dovey Love Month posts, but the schedule will be every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday for the rest of February. (There will be 22 posts this month.) The posts will be everything from nail polish swatches (because if you haven't picked up on it already: I love nail polish), a review of something I'm loving, to some more personal posts. It will vary from day to day! Love Month will officially kick off tomorrow, but today, conveniently, the first day of Love Month, my fiance and I have been together for 80 months! And now there's less than 70 days til our wedding! Eep! :D Hope to see you back tomorrow for my This Week post, where I'll be sharing all the things I loved this week. :)
