Today is National Wear Red Day, part of the Go Red for Women heart disease awareness campaign. Just as good of an excuse to have red & hearts on my nails as Valentine's Day =)
I started out with 2 different base colors on my nails, Orly Liquid Vinyl on 2 nails each hand, and the rest done in Nubar Fire Sparkle. After the base was dry I applied heart stickers & sponged the opposite color over top, removed the stickers & ended up with:
I am about .... mmm 85% happy with this mani LOL. I wish I'd gotten a little bit of a sharper edge on my hearts, I kind of wish I'd maybe done just one heart each nail, and a few of the nails ended up with a little too much polish, not as spongey of a texture as I originally intended. These are my favorite nails; ring & thumb from each hand:
And here is the tutorial:
Are you wearing red today?
Today at grandma's we're going to attempt to make homemade pot-stickers ... I'll take pics & post them up later as long as it's not too much of a disaster =) Thanks for reading.

This is a great valentine manicure without having all the cutesy stuff :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video. I had no idea how you got the hearts on there! Since I don't do nail art I'm clueless. That's a great idea and I love it.
