First things first...happy LOVE day, y'all!!
You should all be WELL aware of the fact that today's project is nothing short of something Valentine's Day related. I mean, hello? Do you know me?!
You should also know that this is BY FAR one of the simplest "projects" I've done, to date. Besides my awkward looking fingers (let's just say I'll never be a hand model...), this is quite possibly my favorite pin to recreate.
Pink. Nail polish. Hearts.
Need I say more?!
What you'll need:
*previously painted & thoroughly dried nails in whatever base color you prefer. (I chose Essie "Mod Square")
*painters tape
*another nail polish contrasting from your base color. (I chose white.)
*a top coat...nothing short of Essie "Good to Go". I SWEAR by this stuff. 5 minute dry-time...TOPS!
1. Tear off a piece of painters tape.
2. Fold it in half, careful to not seal the end pieces.
3. Cut out a half-heart along the fold line. Remember when we learned how to do this in, ohhh, say 1st grade?!
4. Un-fold/un-stick your piece of painters tape and make sure your heart is the correct size/shape.
6. Apply white polish to heart template. (You'll probably need at least 2 coats.)
Peel your tape off and...
VOILA!
Simply adorable, right?!
I'm so festive...I know.
Happy Valentine's Day lovers!! Don't forget to tell someone you love 'em today!

ReplyDeleteI love that we both had the same idea of Valentine's Day manicures and we essentially did the exact same thing but they're so different!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I'll never be a hand model either. ;)
This is so awesome! I'll have to try it out!

So cute, I love the color combo you chose. Perfect for Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea how to make the heart!! I loved Sami's mani when I saw it on IG too! :)
ReplyDeleteHoping to link-up when I get home from work today! My post won't post form my phone...boo!!
Looks so cute! I saw this on Sami's blog and I tried to do it and it was a total fail! Mostly because I just wasn't skilled enough to cut the heart in the tape. So then I tried to do a glitter line on my nails and THAT was a fail too. I realized this is why I pay people to paint my nails for me. LOL! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and simple!
ReplyDeleteCUTE mani! It turned out so good!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! This is so simple too, but I've never think about doing it!
ReplyDeletesuper cute!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute Steph!
