I think I am going to do my nails everyday till Valentine's Day. I can't decide on how I want my nails to be for Valentine's Day so I'll just give them all a try!
I will start with stripes with hearts and arrows.
Here's what you'll need: A top coat (I use Sally Hansen Dries Instantly,
dries in about 30 second), feature colors for your lines, a base
color, nail stickers, & a head pin/toothpick if you don't have a polish pen or the "nail art" polish bottles. Go wild with picking
out colors, I went with red and blue because blue is my boyfriend's
favorite color and red is for Valentine's Day...I also wanted to finally use my matte polish.
|
All I used. |
First, prep for your manicure, to make it last longer. Remove your old
polish, if any, and soak your hands in warm water for a few minutes.
Trim your nails and push back your cuticles. Do not use lotions or oils on your hands, it may make the dry time longer.
|
Apply 2-3 coats of base color |
I used Nails Inc. "Gatwick" Matte
|
Grab you main line color. |
I used SinfulColors Nail Art "Oh Dear!" for my main line color
|
If yours doesn't have a fine tip you can use a toothpick. |
Make an off centered line to the right or left, you will do the other
side from what you pick on your other hand.
|
I applied 2 coats to the line so you can see the blue color. |
You can make the lines darker or thicker if you want.
|
Make your second line with a different color. |
I went with Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen "Silver"
|
I like the fine brush polish better then the pens. |
Too much or not enough polish came out with the pen
& I didn't get my lines as straight as I'd like.
|
Silver lines are not as nice but they are fine. |
It really doesn't matter since I am going to do my nails over tomorrow.
You might have more skill with the pens then me.
|
Using the first color make your next line. |
Make the line at the top of the nail but not the very tip.
|
Pick the sticker you want to use. |
I went with a pink and blue heart with arrows for my ring fingers.
|
Blue heart for my left hand. |
You can get these stickers at beauty supply stores like I did. You can also get them online, Target, Walgreens, or try any store that sells polish and press on nails.
|
Press down on the sticker and hold it for a few seconds. |
Apply a top coat to the nail with the sticker. I am using the matte polish
so I only used a top coat on the nails with the stickers.
|
That's it, all done! |
Thanks for having a look, hope you liked it and found it helpful!
