<3 Valentine's Day Nail Art <3

Firstly, I just want to apologize for being so late in putting this up. I really do feel so bad about it and will try to do better. And just a reminder, if you ever have any requests for nail art for specific events or just in general, leave a comment! I'd love to come up with something. And sometimes I could use the inspiration.

To get along with the tutorials, I have a few designs you could wear for Valentine's Day. Again, sorry for the short notice, but at least you won't have to worry about chipping!

Pinky Pink
This is a really simple design. I used white polish on my thumb and ring finger and pink polish on the rest. Then, on the ring finger, I used a small dotting tool dipped in the pink polish to make teeny little polka dots. I used the same dotting tool dipped in the same pink polish to make a teeny little heart in the corner of the thumb nail. As you can see it's a really cute, easy, and QUICK design.

Neutral V-Day Nails
For this design, I started with a light grey base and then used a dotting tool dipped in light pink polish to draw two hearts on the ring finger and different sized dots on the rest of the nails. This is another pretty easy and quick design.

Girls Hearts
The first step of this design is to paint all your nails pink with a white accent nail. Then, use a small dotting tool to draw tiny hearts on the ring finger, using light and dark pink polish (the picture doesn't show the difference very well). Also, the picture doesn't show, but I did a little white heart in the corner of the thumb nail, similar to that from the "Pinky Pink" design.

Candy Hearts
(a.k.a. Conversation Hearts)
This is probably one of my favorite designs, but unfortunately it takes a while to do (so you might have to wait until next Valentine's Day). I picked out some pastel colors that matched closest to the typical Conversation Heart candies. Then, I used a red nail striper to right the little messages on each nail.
Note: I did come up with this design on my own, but days before I did it, my sister tells me she just watched a MissJenFabulous video that is virtually the same but I decided to still do it in case some of you haven't seen that.

Box of Chocolates
Alright I have to admit, this is not the best quality design I've come up with. In fact I wasn't even going to include it in this blog post, but I figured some of you would be able to do a neater job of it. I started with all red nails with a big silver heart on my ring finger. Then using a dotting tool dipped in brown polish, I drew various shapes in the silver heart to represent chocolates. I'm sorry for the sloppy execution of this design but I was rushing and hopefully you'll still have a fun time recreating it.

I hope you all have a
<3 Happy Valentine's Day! <3
