Valentine's Hearts & Roses Nails



This tutorial shows how to make this pretty pink and red design, which is perfect for valentine's :) It features lots of little hearts and some pink roses for a cute look. 

1)

For this tutorial you will need five colours: red, light pink, white, dark pink and green. I used (l-r) Collection #5 Fire Engine, Barry M #309 Strawberry Ice Cream, Collection #103 French White, and the last two are from a nail art set. 

2)

Begin by painting two thin coats of your white polish on all of your nails.

3)

First we need to add the hearts. To make a heart just carefully paint two little dots almost touching each other.

4)

Next, carefully paint a little triangle shape at the bottom of your two dots by extending a diagonal line from the edge of each dot and filling in the middle. 

5)



Add some more hearts using your red and pink varnishes using the same method. Repeat this pattern on your thumb nail.


6)

Now it's time to paint some roses: start by using your light pink shade to paint some random, uneven blob shapes on your remaining three nails.

7)

Next, using your dark pink polish, carefully add some detail to your roses. Do this by painting some concentric curves on the light pink blobs - try to create C and U shapes. 

8)

The last step is to add some leaves to the roses: take your green shade and paint one or two little lines extending from each of your flowers. 

And this is the finished Valentine's hearts and roses nail art design :)
