Valentines Day Nail Art

Hi Lovelies

Its snowing again! I like it but I know a lot of people have had enough now. I hope you all stay safe if you have to go out in it.

I had a play around with some bits and pieces in my nail art stash this morning. I have done a Valentines Hearts, Bows and Roses theme ready for tomorrow.

We don't do anything special, just a Chinese take away, a film and of course, exchanging cheesy gifts you wouldn't look twice at any other time of the year :)

So, even though we don't go out I still love to do my hair and makeup and paint my nails.

Here is a few details and pics of what I come up with.

I used

Essie We're In It Together

White Wah Nail Art Pen

Light Pink Rhinestones(ebay)

White Bow(ebay)

Light Pink Roses(ebay)

Two Tone Pink Hearts(ebay)

I painted my nails with the Essie Polish

and picked a finger to add dots using the Wah Pen( to look like pearls)

Then I added the nail art bow, hearts etc... To the other fingers and thumb.

I got in a right sticky mess at one point because my Wah Pen decided it was going to leak all over my hand!! Apart from that it was easy and quick to do. I hope you like it :)

**Remember when using nail art decorations always use a nail art glue to stick them on with. This will ensure they stay put for longer. They will stick with nail varnish but they will not stay on.**

Will you be doing anything special for Valentines Day?

Mani-Monday Simple Valentines Day Nail Tutorial

Hi lovelies

 

Second post of the day! A simple but pretty Valentines Nail Mini tutorial :)

 

I love Nail Art and I often sit playing around with polishes and stripers, dotters and gems etc... but today I thought I would do something super easy.

 

You will need

Pink Nail Polish

Some Nail Art/Crafting Stones, Gems, Beads or Pearls of your choice

Some Nail Art Glue(any brand or a clear nail varnish if you have none, please note that clear varnish will make it stick but it wont hold and last as long!)

Top Coat

 

Step 1 - Prep your nails, remove and previous colour from your nails and file if needed.

Step 2 - Apply your first coat of Pink Nail polish, leave to dry for a minute before applying a second coat, repeat again if needed.

I went for a Nude sheer Pink, mine is Je T'aime by Orly.

Step 3 - Apply a coat of Top Coat. 

Step 4 - Add a small blob of Nail glue to your finger nail of choice (I chose my ring finger and thumb)

Step 5 - Add a flat backed Nail decoration on top of the glue and press down firmly and hold in place for 10-20 seconds

Step 6 -Make sure you leave to dry for at least 5 mins before attempting to do anything. This is important, you do not want them coming off as soon as you have finished and then have to do it again!!
