Valentine's Day Nails



Heart Monitor Nails

Start by painting each nail black. Then using a neon green, make a grid on each nail (the lines will be faint, this is OK. They are supposed to be that way). Then paint a white zig zag line for the heart rate and go over it in neon green. Under this line, paint a white heart and go over it with red.

Winter Snowflake Nails

This is a really cute design for the wintertime. It was my first time doing ombre nails and it turned out pretty well. Begin by painting each nail white. Then paint the tip of the nail navy blue, the middle of the nail blue and blend it with the navy by dabbing it. Then paint the base of the nail light blue and blend it with the blue by dabbing it. Using white, paint one or two snowflakes on each nail and dots of snow surrounding it. Once that has dried, paint a glitter polish over each nail to make the snow sparkle.

Zebra Stripe Nails

 Zebra stripes are one of my absolute favorite designs to do. Sometimes it can take a while to do zebra stripes. So if you don't have the time, just do your thumb nail and paint the rest of your nails black with a white tip. I used Zebra stripe nails for my Homecoming dance so this design can be used for all occasions.




Splatter Paint/Tie Dye Nails

 When I was younger, this was my favorite design to do. It's kind of a mix between splatter paint and tie dye. Start by painting each nail white. Then using at least two colors, dab one on the nails leaving some white spots. Repeat this with each color you have chosen. Sometimes I like to go back over the design with the first couple colors I use because they can become hidden.

Neon Stripped Nails

 This is a fun design to do. Paint each nail white and then using whatever colors you like, paint stripes on the nails. I really like doing neon colors because they come out bright and make you look more tan.



White Nails with Neon Tips

 This is personally one of my favorite and easy designs to do. White nails with neon tips are great for beach vacations! They make your tan look better and are very bright in the sun! You are sure to get lots of compliments (I know I did).
