Catch My Heart

Four more days until Valentine's Day! :D I don't know how many more hearty manicures I can do haha.. But this one is super cute and definitely one of my favorites! I was inspired by the amazing Dee2102 on YouTube. :) In particular, I recreated her Valentine's Day Nails  which she has a tutorial for on her channel if you click HERE. :) I couldn't make the bow and arrow but I think the nails still turned out pretty cute. :) Take a look below for a cute Valentine's nail art idea and check out Dee2102 for the tutorial on how to. :)

You Make My Heart Skip A Beat

You make my heart skip a beat... ;) Have you ever felt that way? <3 Hehe but ANYWAY, let's move on from this lovey-dovey stuff. Just take a look at my nails. (Lol... And just for those who are wondering, I will have a "lonely" Valentine's Day but hey! Think about all the yummy candy that goes on sale after February 14th. ;) That's my love. xD  But just take a look at my "beating heart" nails. :) I was inspired by the AMAZING Sam and here is my mediocre re-make of her heart beat nails. (View hers HERE). They are just so cute! Mine don't look anything like hers... but meh. Even people like me can try to re-make an expert's nails. xD Continue reading for more more picture spam. ;) Just an idea for some Valentine's Day Nails. :)  

Moo haha! I just drew some random lines that connected across the nails and added a heart to my thumb and ring finger to complete the "heart beat". :) And my wonderful friend Emily sent me my first bottle of Seche Vite. xD I've falledn IN LOVE. Oh Seche, will you be my Valentine? ;) White acrylic paint for the design by the way!

Sending Some Love!

June 27th, can you be any further away? Hmm... something much close though is Valentine's Day! <3 I may not have that "special someone" on February 14th, but I certainly can get in the "festive mood" with some pink hearts! ;) So go ahead and take a look at one of my Valentine's Day themed nail art!

 

I was inspired by Lucy Ridley whose blog is 100daysofmakeup.blogspot.com :) Click HERE to see the original manicure that Lucy created! It is beautiful! I wish I had longer nails to make them look more like hers, but I'm still really happy with these. :) Continue reading just to see a few more pictures of these. ;)

I Heart Spots (& peanut butter)

Hey ladies! Wanna know a secret? ("Promise not to tell? We are standing by a wishing well!" Just kidding. I wish we were, but we're not.) I probably do my nails about three times a week but I only post the nail art that has tutorials to accompany them. But today is going to be a special occasion for a post because 1. I'm not getting many Halloween tutorials out (I've only done candy corn.. :/ I did try the spiderweb like 4 times though. Still practicing myself! I have to recommend Amber's blog because she has fabulous Halloween tutorials out right now! In fact, HERE is her spider web to find here spider web tutorial :) It's very easy, I just don't have any stripers or thin brushes at the moment to do it myself.. :p) 2. Ugh, I get off topic a lot. ;) and 3. This nail art is actually based off one my friend's tutorial! Take a look below to see what I did. :)

The spots are really funky.. I know. ;) 

Valentine's Day Nails & Heart Tutorial

I know, I know... What the heck? Valentine's day in September? Well... You all know I just recently bought white polish (FINALLY, honestly! White, black, and the basic ROYGBIV rainbow colors are essential to nail art!), so I decided to get a little cutesy. :) I don't have a full tutorial on all my nails, but they're pretty basic and I'll try to explain them once you see some adorable pictures! Look below!

Here I have a tic-tac-toe with hearts (my favorite nails), "I <3 U", many hearts and some polka dots, "LOVE" (I originally had a heart as the "O" but then switched later... What ever you prefer though works!) and a large pink heart that I outlined in black! So for the base color, I used Hard to Get by Sally Hansen and then the black, red, and light pink are just acrylic paints. I'm still playing around with them, but they are a lot easier to work with and create some neat designs!  

Here is the easiest way though to create a heart on your nails! VERY, VERY easy and cute nail art for anyone! All you need is a pencil and some paint. (You heard me, I just used a pencil to make these. No special tools).

1. Start with a dot. If you want a big heart, make a big dot, and if you want a small heart, make a small dot.

2. Add the same size dot right next to the original.

3. Now with your pencil (dotting tool, acrylic brush, etc.), draw a downwards line. (Look at box 3, see how I did that?) It doesn't matter which dot you draw the line from because you'll repeat the same process.

4. Woah! Repeat step 3 but in the opposite direction.

Creating perfect and beautiful hearts are just THAT easy. ;) This was my middle finger (hehe...) and I added several more hearts and then polka dots! I'm really sorry about the unseasonal nails, but I just thought these were just too cute and I had to share them! 

Just another look! 

And a close up on my thumb. And Mr. Green Bunny's ear. ;) I felt like it added some character to this photo so I didn't want to use another one. xD

I hope that you've enjoyed today's super simple and short tutorial and I hope I helped with some possible Valentine's Day nails. ;) So until next time, Your Polish Pal, Jenna :)
