Irish Valentine

Hi loves!

Today's title is brought to you by the middle aged man in the elevator at work that asked me what my nails said after I kindly pushed the floor button for him.  I proudly showed him my nails, and he goes "oh cool, so kind of like an Irish Valentine?!" and so.. these are now known as the Irish Valentine nails :)

 

After seeing a few blog posts lately of Revlon's Posh, I picked it up this week while running a few errands.  It's such a pretty green creme.  And the formula was perfect, this is two thin coats :)

 

To dress it up a little I added tiny silver hearts using Essie No Place like Chrome and a medium sized dotting tool. And there you have it, Irish Valentine nails ;)

PCFC: Jewellery Inspired

Hi girls!

Today's Purple Crumpet Fairy Challenge was Jewellery Inspired.

I'm not a huge jewellery wearer.. I have my every day earrings and two rings that I wear, and that's about it.  Necklaces bother the crap out of me since I can't handle anything touching the front of my neck so I steer clear of those ;)

I knew right away what I would do though.  Early last year my boyfriend went on a short deployment to Ireland, and brought me back a ring that I wear every day.  Just before he left we had started paperwork to become common law, so the government now considers him my husband, even though we're not really 'married', but what he brought back kind of just symbolizes our commitment to one another.

Anyway!  Less words, more pictures:

 

Can you guess what kind of ring it is?

 

 

Claddagh rings symbolize love, friendship and loyalty.  Now I realize I didn't do the hands but.. really, I'm no artist and this would have just turned out awful :P  I love it, and love what they mean, it never leaves my finger!

I used a small dotting tools for the hearts, and used one of the bundle monster plates for the crowns.
