Envy's Entourage Open Mani Challenge - My Hopes for 2017

Greetings and Nailutations!

I love when nail art has a deep meaning.  What!?  Meaning?  Yes!  In the Envy's Entourage Facebook Group for fans of Envy Lacquer there is a mani challenge where they want us to tackle our "hopes for 2017."  I don't know about you, but after looking at my Facebook feed for just 30 mins I knew the answer: LOVE.  Yes, love.  I want love for friends, for the human race, for the people who look different from each other, love for the world - just love.  If we have good intentions of love, we are able to open up our hearts and mind in mutual respect for all.  Now, I agree that everything isn't all roses and daisies, but I do want to invite more love into my life.  Spending more time with family, having a positive outlook in all situations that I am placed in and challenging myself to look for good intentions that people may have (however wrong I feel they are...I will invite them to explain their reasoning).


OK enough with my sappy thoughts.  :)  Let's get to this mani!



I started with Envy Lacquer's Moulin Rouge, a lovely orange leaning red holographic polish and topped it with Heather's Hues Top That Top Coat.






I then used Clear Jelly Stamper (press sample), UberChic (4-03 plate) and Drip Drop Nail Paint's Tighty Whities to stamp the images I selected on.  I also used Easy Peel to protect my skin from the polish.  It's all topped with Top That. Why did I select these images for love?  Because love grows. <3





So, what are your hopes for 2017?  Are you feeling the love in my mani?  I hope that you feel that I do care that you spent some time here.

Love,
Kristi aka Beginnails
