DIY Valentine's Day Manicure


Valentine's Day nail art is one of the easiest to pull off... even if you don't have steady hand. And boy, do I have an easy one for you today!

This Valentine's Day Heart DIY mani requires no Scotch Tape, and no special brushes. Just polish.

What you need:
  • 1 bottle of red nail polish (I used Mint Polish in Sweet Liberty)
  • 1 bottle of neon pink nail polish (I used Illamasqua in Collide)
  • 1 bottle of clear polish with hearts (I used a polish from Forever 21 by ncLA's Heart Attack looks just like it)
  • 1 wooden orange stick
  • Optional: 1 bottle of nail striping polish in a light pink






1. Paint 3 of your nails red. 

2. Paint 2 of your nails neon pink - I went with my thumb and ring finger.

3. On the neon pink nails: Use your orange stick grab a single heart decal from the heart polish. Arrange a few hearts (up to 4) on your nail, and allow to dry. 
This method avoids layering coats of polish on your nail, which will make the heart decals slide around, and not cling to your base coat like you want.

Optional: Paint one nail on each hand with hearts, and paint the other neon nail with pink stripes for contrast!

4. After hearts have been set, you can accent with red glitter (optional), or apply a top coat of your choice. 

5. Snap a nail #selfie and post on Instagram.


Enjoy!
