Valentine's Day Nails!

These nails are absolutely adorable, and surprisingly simple to do even though they can look like they took FOREVER to do [literally only took me about 10 minutes- give or take a few for the drying time].

All you will need is the nail polishes of your choice in valentines day colours [eg. red, pink, white]. I used:

• NYC, Prospect Park Bloom
• Sally Hansen, Cherry Red
• KIT, First Kiss
• NYC, Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat

STEP ONE:

Apply NYC Prospect Park Bloom all over your nail as normal to create an even base colour. Wait for the polish to dry completely before moving on to step two.

STEP TWO:

Be sure that when you take the brush out of the jar you remove at least half of the nail polish [remove more for the smaller nails], otherwise your hearts will turn into giant blobs. And that's not very festive. To create the hearts you want to paint an 'L' shape, since the brushes widen while you paint it'll turn your 'L' into a heart! One coat for the hearts is generally good enough.

Instead of doing all red hearts I did a single pink heart on my ring finger, but you could always stick to one colour or even do alternating.

STEP THREE:

Finish off with a top coat and you're done! I've recently discovered the mattifying top coat and I'm obsessed. It's a nice change from the glossy top coats. 

The pink doesn't look very noticeable here, but trust me, it is!
