Looking around the shops at the moment, it's hard not to notice that Valentine's Day is coming up. All those reds and pinks in the windows reminding us to spread a bit of love. There's a bit of a debate about the day - I personally love it. It's nice seeing people with their bunches of flowers heading out on dates to spend a bit of quality time together. Yes, it can seem a little forced but if you just look at it as a reminder to make some time for someone special - well, that can't really be negative, can it?
I'll probably be wearing a red lip (any excuse!) and I've dressed my nails for the occasion...
Using all Essie shades I've put together a little Valentine's Nails look.
On my index finger I have Lapis of Luxury followed by In My Orbit
from the galaxy metals collection with a little pink heart carefully painted (with my right hand -I'm left handed so that is trickier than it sounds!) using a nail art pen.
On my ring finger is Baguette Me Not which is one of my favourites at the moment and I'll no doubt be wearing a lot more in the Spring. Muchi, Muchi is on my little finger and did need a good 3 coats but I like it's subtlety, it's a really nice pale pink for every day.
I added the polka dots with the end of a hair pin, it's a little hack of mine -dots with minimal effort!
I actually find painting my nails very therapeutic. I might have to find time to get a little more creative more often.
