Valentine's Day Nails

These are my Valentines Day nails. For these nails I used Pinstripe White by NYC and Strawberry Tart by Models Own for the base of my nails. I used Pinstripe White on my thumb, middle and little finger and Strawberry Tart on my index and ring finger.
On my middle three fingers I wrote I <3 you. For the 'I' and 'you' I used my white Barry M nail art pen and for the '<3' I just used the brush that came with the polish and drew a V shape with it and rounded off the tops. I then used my black Barry M nail art pen on these nails to draw a shadow.
For my thumb and little finger I started off by dabbing 3-4 little spots of Strawberry Tart randomly around my nail then added two little spots of Barry M Key Lime to each pink spot to resemble leaves. Once that had dried I used my black Barry M nail art pen to outline around the roses and the leaves. I didn't completely outline them, I used 2-3 little lines around the roses and 2 to outline the leaves then I drew one or two marks on the inside of the roses and finished everything of with a topcoat!

Valentine's Day Nails Love Letter

1) Paint your nails white. I used pinstripe white by NYC.
2) Using a black striper create a V shape on the top half of your nail.
3) Using the black striper again draw two diagonal lines, starting from the bottom half of your nail going up to meet the V.
4) Using a red, or whatever colour you want your heart to be, use a dotting tool create two dots next to each other and drag them down to make a heart shape.

This design will look better on shorter nails I think. You could also do them horizontally, I would've, but it wouldn't have worked very well because my nails are pointy.

Valentine's Day Nails Kiss

I have a pictorial for this design!
1) Paint your nail white. I used Pinstripe White by NYC.
2) Using a black nail art pen or thin brush and black polish draw two half circles on either side of your nail so the almost meet in the middle. Draw two curved lines in the circles, a big one for the smile and a smaller one for the eye. Add eyelashes to one of the eyes to make it girly. I used my Barry m black nail art pen for this.
3) Add hair. For the boy I just used the same black nail art pen as before and drew on a couple of spikes. For the girl I chose to go blonde so I used nails inc. spitalfields and using the brush that came with the polish dabbed it on top of her head.
4) To add a bit of extra detail to the girl's hair I used my nail art pen again and just put some dashes through it. To finish off I used models own pink blush and a dotting tool to add a little heart between them so they look like they're kissing! 

Here's a picture of the rest of my nails I wore for this design. I just decorated them with glitter, caviar beads, pearls and a heart fimo. The glitter polish I used is Essie a cut above.
