Heart print nail art

Tweet

Happy Valentine's day!

Today's manicure will be a themed one - this year I chose heart print. I started with a coat of white nail polish, which was the base of my pink and orange gradient. The nail polishes used were China Glaze - Sun of a peach and Trind - Burst my bubble. After that, I painted the hearts and outlined them using black nail polish so as to look like the animal print design. I finised with clear top coat. What do you think?

Valentine's day nimbus manicure

Tweet

Hi,
Today I'll show you my first Valentine's day manicure for this year and I created this one using a technique I haven't used before - nimbus. I was inspired for this by The Nailsaurus' Nimbus tutorial - check it out, it's really a nice one! Mine isn't as nice as hers, still I think it looks pretty.
So I started with a coat of white nail polish (Flormar -M01). The colours used for the nimbus were a light pink, a darker pink, gray and light purple. After everything was done, I applied a coat of clear nail polish and let it dry. Then I stamped the letters from Bundle Monster's BM-426 plate and finished with clear top coat. What do you think?

Hi,

Today I'd like to show you another Valentine's Day themed manicure. This one is a very easy to do freehand nail art. I started with two coats of Astor -050 Iconic Red and then I took an extremely thin brush and painted the design with white polish. I finished with a clear top coat and that was it. What do you think?

As you can see, there is a big, beautiful ring on my finger. I got it from an online jewellery store called THBoxes. It came in a cute box and it only cost $2,25. You can find it here.

Another thing I got from their website is a shiny necklace which I absolutely adore. This one was $6,97 and it has a very elegant appearance. Have a closer look.

Lastly, I'd like to show you my floral watch. It has beautiful crystals on its adjustable bracelet and it's the perfect accessory for an every-day outfit.

Valentine's day manicure idea

Hi,

Today I'd like to show you a Valentine's day themed manicure. I got inspired by this tutorial, only I didn't use tape. I started with two coats of Flormar -MG05 and then I stamped the heart design from m59 image plate. As it is not a full heart design, I filled the shape in using white polish and a dotting tool. Then, I stamped the flowery design from m73 Konad plate using the base colour nail polish. I finished with a clear top coat.

Hi,

Today I'll show you a very easy to do freehand nail art.

I painted all my nails with two coats of Essie -Topless&Barefoot and then I took a thin

brush and Illamasqua -Taint in order to create the four letters on my left hand. I firstly 

practiced on a piece of paper and then I created the design on my nails. I applied a coat 

of Essence -Circus Confetti on my thumb and right hand's nails and finished with a

clear top coat. What do you think?

Valentine's Day manicure

Hi,

As Valentine's Day will soon be here, I decided to make an inspired manicure.

I started with two coats of a light pink and then I applied Sinful Colors 

-Dream on on the tips, using a sponge. With the same nail polish I stamped 

the hearts design from m56 Konad plate. I finished with a clear top coat.

What do you think? What are you wearing for Valentine's Day?

Hi,

Here I'll show you some ideas for the Valentine's day manicure:

The first one is a french with some images. You can never go wrong with it. Even a simple french manicure it's all right. What I did is put some pink glitter top coat on the tip and stamped the cupid from m34 image plate. I also stamped a small pink heart image from plate m59 and put a little white pearl.

The second manicure is very easy to do. I stamped the bow from image m56 over a pink base and then applied some black rhinestones.

I used image plate m35 for the third manicure. Over a mauve base color I stamped the little fairy and the heart. Finally, I applied some red rhinestones.

For the last one I used a pink holographic nail polish as base color. I used image plate m59 for doing the bows and the hearts. In the middle of the bow I applied a pink rhinestones. On the rest of the nail I put some small silvery steel balls.

So, what do you think?
What manicure are you going to wear for Valentine's?

Hi,

Today I'll show you a new manicure that I think it fits very good for St. Valentine.

I used a franken I made as base color.

I stamped the bow from image plate m71 on the ring finger and

the virgo from image plate m34 on the other nails.

Finally I applied some rhinestones and put on the Konad special top coat.
