Artsy Wednesday: Valentine's Day Mani

Ahhhh another February is upon us, another Valentine's Day is approaching and here is another mani to celebrate this wonderful day!  (Detect the sarcasm!)

I didn't want to go down the typical road of reds or something girly like pink... not because I don't like these manicures as obviously I do but just because I wanted to challenge myself a lil bit and think outside the box.

So I came up with a pink/grey/blue heart leopard print mani (what a mouthful!):


I used Leighton Denny's polishes for this mani in Pink Promenade, Between Blue and Zero Gravity:


I also used nail studs which I bought from the Born Pretty store:


I really like the colour combo of this and the subtle heart leopard print and it's also added a lil bit of funk to my otherwise stressful and demanding February believe me!!

Come actual Val's Day I have no idea what I'll be sporting on my nails; last year they were a matte dark green so maybes this is the year I tame myself and become a bit more traditional?  Then again, maybes not hehe!

Have you got a Val's Day manicure planned?  Are you a traditional red or pink person or are you more like me and prefer to bend the 'rules'?


Now, check out the links below to see what the other girls from Artsy Wednesday have came up with this week:

Alanna - Pretty Purple Polish
Melanie - Nail & Polish
Jessica - Beauty Gnome
Emily - An Accent Nail
