Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! So here’s a new Valentine’s Day nail art idea for you to try. It’s a bit more edgy than your typical Valentine’s Day manicure with love hearts and kisses. However, the whimsical colour scheme of this nail design sets the right mood and makes it perfect for February the 14th.
This manicure was inspired by the new Mavala I Love Mini nail polish collection, that consists of 6 vibrant red shades:
- MyAngel – an angelic burgundy
- MyLove – a charming raspberry
- MyDarling – a true pink
- MonAmour – a fire red with a slight shimmering effect
- MyPassion – a true red
- MySweetHeart – a vibrant reddish brown
Now without further ado, let’s proceed to the how-to! This gradient Valentine’s Day nail look is very easy to do, so regardless of your nail art skill level you should be able to recreate this design flawlessly. Just follow our step-by-step tutorial below!
HOW TO:
1. Paint all nails with 2 coats of your favourite nail strengthener. Allow the nail strengthener to dry completely before proceeding to the next step.
2. Cut about 20 of 2 cm long pieces of the nail art striping tape and attach them on all nails as pictured.
3. Use the polish brush to fill in the area at the nail bed with light pink polish. I used Mavala Violet. Repeat on all nails.
4. Use a thick detailing nail art brush to fill in the middle area with bright pink polish. Repeat on all nails.
5. Use the polish brush to fill in the nail tip area with dark pink polish. Repeat on all nails.
6. Accurately remove the striping tape and clean up around the cuticles if required.
7. Use a striping nail art brush to paint the silver lines (or use silver glitter striping tape instead – simply attach it between the pink details) on all nails as pictured.
8. Seal it all with 2 coats of a quick dry top coat and you’re done!
