Valentines Nails

This was my valentines look..only one day late!!!

Hope everyone was showered with lots of love...me and my boyfriend had a simple night out without any exchanges of commercially produced gifts or cards. I feel that as I've aged (Im only 25) I've gone off receiving the usual teddy bear/chocolates, all that stuff really makes me cringe. 

So whatever you all did, whether your single or in a relationship hope you had a fantastic day!!!

Back to the nails I wanted to keep it simple, and I haven't mastered the hang of doing freehand hearts yet.

What I used 

• Models Own - Snow White
• Max Factor - Red Passion
• Kiss Nail Art Paint - White
• Sally Hansen - Mega Shine extended wear top coat

This was so simple, I used two coats of Models Own, taking care to keep it neat near the cuticles, then I applied two coats of the red. For the heart, which looks like a white blob I used the kiss nail art paint which I picked up from Superdrug a few months ago. The kit came with stencils which you place over the nail, I do find them tricky to use. I then finished off with top coat.

Note to self: I should learn to paint hearts...

Blue & White Polka Dot Nails

What I used to create this look:

• Rimmel - 500 Peppermint
• Rimmel - Nail Tip Whitener
• Sally Hansen - Mega Shine extended wear topcoat
• One hair grip

I started off by applying two coats of the Rimmel (Peppermint), I found that it streaks slightly so I applied thick coats to make it look even. To create the dots I used the end of a hair grip with the Rimmel tip whitener. I then finished it off with the top coat. The top coat I used smudged the dots into my base coat (you have to look really really close to notice). Think I should go on the hunt for a new white nail polish so that I can try this look in baby pink???
