Valentine's day is near! I am sure there's a lot of Valentine's day inspired everything! So I've thought of doing a girl "In Love" nails! By the way, I bought art brushes from a local bookstore, I TRIED drawing hearts and I have to say, it is very challenging and I gave up for now...I need to do more practice as I don't want to have "ugly" hearts this coming Valentine's day!
I did an "almost" heart look though --- in a human way hahaha
Here's my version and interpretation, I hope you like it! :)
Step 1:
Apply a base coat, let dry. Apply one layer of any pink matte color. Let dry.
Step 2:
Apply 2nd coat of the base color.
While wet, drop a white colored polish and red colored polish, creating 3 dots. You can choose whatever color combination you like.
Step 3:
Quickly run through a needle going up, between the dots. A 3 heart shape will show up.
Again, you can do something different for the THUMB
In my case, I did 4 dots instead of 2 :)
Step 4:
Leave the nail art for a couple of minutes, making sure it's dry. add a glitter polish on the area where you run through the needle. You may skip this step if you don't have a thin brush.
Step 5:
Using my Testimo Polish for the first time (a gift from a dear friend last Christmas), slowly apply on the "pink" base area only, trying not to touch the hearts. I am trying to create hearts with some falling glitters :)
The reason for not going through the nail art, because the hearts won't show up clearly. I am trying to create a glittery, happy base with the hearts as the MAIN focus. That's LOVE! :P
Step 6:
Making sure the nail art is dry, top your nails with your favorite top coat. In my case, everyone knows its The Face Shop's Top Coat :D <--- for now!
Here's the finished "Nails In Love" look
and the thumb art
Now that sounds like "dumb art' lol
A Valentine's Day inspired eye make-up will be coming up!
What are your plans for the V-day?
Anything special planned out for your loved ones?
Stay loved...stay happy!
