Featured Artist: ARoseAmongThorns from Instagram

Hello Loves. I'm currently doing a few polish tests that require I actually wear a manicure longer than a few days, so I asked one of my dearest friends to allow me to show off her Valentine's Day manicure instead. :) Pamela (aka Instagram user ARoseAmongThorns) is also a gel user, which makes for a dangerous friendship. We feed off of each other and our wallets suffer. But it also works out well for us because our tastes are polar opposites. I wear my nails longer and she rocks the shorties. She loves cream finishes. I love shimmers. It is rare that we love or hate the same polish, so we end up doing a lot of swapping.

Enough of my rambling and onto the nail art. Pamela is a stamping fan as well, so she threw together this adorable stamped skittlette manicure.  As usual, details to follow.

Base: Couture Gel Nail Polish Wardrobe Change on the index and pinkie.  Couture Ooh La La French on the ring and thumb.  Kiss Galaxy on the middle finger. 
Stamping images:  Fun 12 on the ring finger and QA28 on the middle and thumb
Stamping polishes:  Sally Hansen Insta-dri Silver Sweep and Mundo de Unas Mexican Pink.

I love skittlette manicures, but it drives me nuts that we rarely see what is on the thumb nail.  Thankfully, Pamela sent me a shot with her thumb too.  Check out that adorable little kiss!

If you like Pamela's art and her adorable shorties, go follow her on instagram! 

I'll be back in a few days with a mani of my own, I promise.  I have a few fun reviews coming up too.  ;)
