NOTD: Valentine's Hearts Red & White Drag Marble + Tutorial

Simple & super-cute =)  I was indecisive which color should be the base & which the heart, so I alternated LOL.  Colors are Orly Candy Cane Lane & Orly White Tips:
 

Here's the tutorial:
 
 
I have several other Valentine's ideas - also this Friday, February 4th, is National Wear Red Day.  I think I forgot last year, but I will be participating with something red this year for Heart Disease Awareness.  Will you be painting your nails red?
 
Thanks for reading.

    Thanks for this tutorial!

    Picture it: Orly Matte vinyl as a base and a really red bloody color (Nubar Unfaithful Red is my closest one I have) for the hearts.
    You'd have to skip the topcoat, but I'm drooling anyway! :D
    A little anti-Valentines, but not all the way.

    I've been thinking about what nail art I would do for valentine's day for almost 2 weeks now, and I think i just found out. These hearts look so pretty... It's also discreet, so it's definitely one of my favorites. Now I have to find a red creme I really like though... This means shopping this weekend ! :-) Thanks, I love your blog.

    My mouth is just hanging open! This is so beautiful. If I didn't have super duper short nubbins I'd attempt this. One of my top 10 favorite Valentine manicures.

    I love this manicure and you don't necessarily need to use it for Valentine's.
