Manicure Monday: Valentine's Day Nail Art

Guest Post by Katie Crafts

Four-Leaf Clover Nail Art

Hi loves! I’m Katie from Katie Crafts and I’m super excited to be writing Aquariann's Manicure Monday guest post today! Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. My outfit is already picked out (gray sweater dress with white hearts on it, red tights, red belt) but I still need a manicure. I tested out this design over the weekend and I think it may be the winner. It’s super cute and pretty easy!

To complete the look, you’ll need the following things:

♥ Red nail polish
♥ Pink nail polish
♥ Pink glitter polish
♥ White nail polish
♥ Clear top coat
♥ Nail art pen in blue or black

The design itself is mega simple!

♥ First, paint all your nails red, except your ring fingers which you’ll paint pink.
♥ Once they are 110% dry, use the white polish to make little hearts on the red nails and let dry.
♥ Use your nail art pen to draw X's and O's on your pointer and middle fingers. Draw "lo" and "ve" in cursive on your thumbs, so that when you put them together they spell "love"!
♥ On the pink nails, use a generous coat of your pink glitter polish to make your accent nail really pop.
♥ Seal each nail with a clear top coat and you’re good to go!

Enjoy a fabulous day with your Valentine! (and HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK, KRISTIN!)

Heart Nail Art Finds:

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

EDIT: Giveaway is officially closed. Congratulations to Rita Szlovencsák for submitting the randomly chosen 57th entry. Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first? The owners, Bridget and Rhys, are currently celebrating their one year Etsyversary and offering an astonish...
