Nail Art Tutorial: "Valentine- Ready" nails

Good morning!!!  Nail art tutorial for the week is inspired by Valentines.  I know it's a month away til the day of hearts but who cares?  Love is love... I've created a very simple, non floral nail art :)  Inspired by 2 color combination I love, reds and pinks!




 
Step 1:
As usual, apply your favorite base coat and two coats of OPI Nail Polish in Suzi & the Lifeguard.  (see? I am mature enough to use this cutey)




Step 2:
Apply The Face Shop Red polish diagonally.

 

Step 3:
Using LA Colors Art Deco in black, create lines.



 

Step 4:
Using LA Colors Art Deco in white, create a line between the 2 black lines I've created.

 

Step 5:
Using Prettynails' Art Pen in black to create  dots.


 

Step 6:
Create white dots using white nail art pen.

 

Step 7:
To create a nice glitter, apply 1 coat of glitter polish from Elianto.

 

Step 8:
Top with OPI RaPi Dry Top Coat to protect the nail art.


 

Here's my final nails ready for the Heart's Day :)


I hope my simple nail art would make people who are in love with life to go on and enjoy it!  Life is really difficult and there's a lot of trying times, but there's always simple things in life that makes us happy :)  Seize it!

Keep smilin'
Stay happy!

  18. That’s pretty good! How long does it take you to make that?

    Can you do this in 10 min.?

  19. depends Nail Art Info, I need to wait for the base coat to try sometimes so it'll take approximately 20-30 minutes for both hands :)
