Valentine’s Day Mani Using Color Club & Crystalline Nail Veil

by Lisa Heath

Press Sample

Technically it’s still Valentine’s Day, so it’s hopefully not too late to throw this post in!

I decided kind of last minute to do a pink mani for Valentine’s Day!  I just received a bunch of new Color Club goodies yesterday and while I had them on my desk staring at me, I thought “Eh, why not?!”

I didn’t have time to do a full water marble manicure but I always love a good accent nail when time is a little more restrictive.  I grabbed my Crystalline Nail Veil from Color4Nails to get started (perfect time to test it on a water marble as well!)

To start I painted my ring finger nail with Color Club Blank Canvas.

Nail Veil

Once the nail was painted I covered the surrounding skin with Crystalline Nail Veil to protect my skin and make for easy clean up.

Nail Veil marble

I did a very quick water marble and it came out kind of “off” so it’s definitely not my best one (but certainly not my worst!)

I used Color Club Feathered Hair Out To There (pale pink) and Sweet Getaway (hot pink) for the marble.

Marble cleanup

I peeled off the Crystalline Nail Veil and had absolutely no other cleanup to do.  You have no idea how much time this shaved off for me.  Unless you’ve used it before… then you know.

I decided to add a small gem to the center to distract a little from the slightly wonky design.

I painted the remaining nails with Feathered Hair Out To There, added top coat and my Valentine’s Day mani was complete.

Overall, I like my Valentine’s Day mani.  The colors are perfect for it, the Color Club shades marbled really nicely and Blank Canvas was the perfect base for it!

That marble looks gorgeous! I have the Crystalline Nail Veil as well and really like it so far – when I stamp I always have the design all over, especially with dark colors this can be super annoying!

Both colors are pretty! I’m jelly of your flower marble!!

Saving time from clean up is always a plus! I love the water marble and the gem in the middle is super cute! Happy Valentines Day!

Loving the stone in the centre of the marble.

I love the marble and the little gem you added. I might have to borrow that idea lol. :)

This is such a sweet and gorgeous V-day mani! I did one and I’m very tardy at posting it (probably because I don’t love it). I love accent marbles.

Andrea February 15, 2015 - 5:40 pm

Beautiful colors together and fantastic job with that water marble!

NailsByKarise February 16, 2015 - 2:17 am

Love the watermarble and the addition of the rhinestone pulls everything together!

I think the water marble came out great. What a beautiful Vday mani!

Destany February 17, 2015 - 8:17 pm

You’ve got mad skills woman! I wish I could watermarble. Maybe I should just have you do it for me ;)

Erika February 17, 2015 - 9:28 pm

That water marble is so pretty! Love the pinks. And I need some of that Nail Veil stuffs.

Kath TheFabZilla February 17, 2015 - 10:07 pm

You water marble accent is so beautiful. You’re very talented!

Phyrra February 17, 2015 - 10:17 pm

Some day I will be brave enough to try a water marble

Leelo R February 18, 2015 - 12:23 am

So simple, but so beautiful! That gem in the middle looks just perfect!

Eugenia February 18, 2015 - 5:25 am

That nail veil thing is an awesome idea!! I need some of that to try!!

Ashley February 18, 2015 - 6:35 am

Is Crystaline Nail Veil like NuSkin? I have never seen that technique before but I loved the outcome. So pretty and Feathered Hair Out To There is definitely my jam.

Lisa Heath February 18, 2015 - 12:09 pm

I’m not 100% sure what NuSkin is. Nail Veil is a liquid latex product to protect the skin from messy nail art. Or you can put it directly on the nail and peel off for a negative space mani!

I need to try marbling soon!

I am always at awe with your nail designs… that nail protection veil looks cool and sounds like something I need. I am terrible with clean up. I don’t know if it’s because I am using the wrong brush or the wrong cleaner but clean up is always hard for me.

Lisa Heath February 18, 2015 - 12:58 pm

Clean up is generally difficult for me as well. Even when I think I got it all, the camera seems to pick up small areas that I missed! Nail Veil definitely saves time and makes it super quick

StephanieLouise February 18, 2015 - 1:03 pm

Your accent nail is EVERYTHING!! I need to try something like this!

Your worst marble is better than my best on any day, and twice on Sunday. Cute Valentines’ mani! I need to pick up one of these latex cleanup thingies. I use Elmer’s glue, but I’m not sure how well it would hold up in a water marble situation, since it’s water-soluble.

So 70’s!
