Lit from Within: Leftover Valentine Monkey-Inspired Nails

The day after Valentines' Day - also known as Cheap Candy Day - also yielded an unexpected bonus this year! Cute pink and red monkey stuffs! I was inspired to make this mani to go with it.

Revlon Jelly. Oh, Jelly. Look at that.. well, jelly. It's a great reddish orange, uber-shiny. The formula was a little thin, so be careful to avoid pooling in the cuticles.

Revlon Pink Lingerie. I liked the color, but the consistency was a little sheer. Love how it goes with Jelly, though.

Building the layers was as easy as using the polish brush. No special tools needed.

Maybe I should have stopped before adding the last detail of pink? I couldn't get it opaque. I still like the contrast between the accent fingers and the rest of the mani, though.
