Valentine's Day Manicure: Hearts and Kisses

This is my second Valentine's Day Manicure this year.  I used Wet 'n Wild Sugar Coat and OPI Big Apple Red.  If I did this again next year, I'd do the heart french tip and the kisses as an accent nail.  The french tip hearts were easy.  I used the OPI brush itself to create the heart shapes.  I used a dotting tool for everything else.  For the kisses, I made an "m" shape for the top lip and then a smaller "c" shape for the bottom lip.  That was also really easy.  The pinky hearts are upside down (oops).
I love Megalast polishes, but Sugar Coat is a dud.  It is sheer and streaky.  It takes 3-4 coats before it isn't streaky. And, the color makes me look dead.  :(

Wet 'n Wild Megalast Sugar Coat

This is Wet 'n Wild Megalast in the color Sugar Coat.  It retails for 2$.  This is the new (as of about a year ago) formula.  I was going to review the new formula, but things went awry in a way I won't bore you with.  I think this color is very pretty.  It is not pretty on me.  It makes me look like death.  This is four coats of polish, although I could have got away with three coats.  This color is not only sheer, it goes on streaky.  It takes 3-4 coats until you don't see the streaks.  I hate any hint of the nail lines showing trough, so when in doubt, I add another coat.  This has a large brush and I absolutely adore large brushes.  Some people love the large brushes, and other hate them with a passion. 

Over the top of Sugar Coat I did a newspaper manicure with the crossword solutions.  The link has a video that explains how to do a newspaper mani.  This reminds me of my Grandma who used to finish the Sunday crossword puzzle in pen before church.  Well, sometimes there was a stray letter missing, but for the most part they were finished.  The newspaper didn't transfer to the nail as well as I would have liked, but you still get the general idea.
