My nails #17: Valentines day nails

Hi guys, just a quick one for you guys. I've been wanting to post this new set of nails for over a week now...so I guess it's no longer a new set :( Last week was hell. First my son got sick and then he passed it on to me and my husband and we passed it onto my daughter. Ugh. Oh well, at least I managed to snap a few photos for you guys before it all started to grow out. You can click on the images to enlarge.





They're just clear gel extensions with embedded 3d acrylic hearts. I also added some sparkles and a few rhinestones. I wanted to go for something fun and bubbly just before Valentines day hit, but I'm definitely going to change them up for just before the big V-day comes. I'm thinking the heart nails from the Illamasqua throb collection pictures. So cute!

Okay, hope you guys enoy the pics and I'll get to work on the new set this weekend :)
