Happy Thursday! Or the day we Parks & Rec fans know as Galentine's Day
[source]
Galentine's Day is the day to celebrate your girlfriends. I spent the evening with my mom and sister and two good friends for dinner.
I had the perfect mani to do it in, too.
I started with two coats of Zoya Raven

Raven looks like your typical black but there is a hidden silver shimmer that gives it a pearly sheen. It definitely sets it apart from the pack.
The next part, I'm really proud of. I tried the plastic baggie decal method and it worked!!
While I was at the gym, I had my sister help me out and paint two squares of two coats each of Zoya Chyna, one of the first PixieDusts that came out.
When it was fully dry, I carefully peeled the squares off the baggie and, using a heart-shaped craft punch, I punched out a heart from each. I topcoated my ring finger and placed my hearts.
Here's the finished product
I'm really proud of this manicure. And even though I'm cheating a little bit because I haven't had the polishes for a year (sorry, Debbie!), this is my entry for the Golden Oldie Thursday challenge.
I have one more Valentine's Day mani lined up for tomorrow and I hope you'll like it!
