Hi everyone, valentine's day is just around the corner, so here I've got a romantic nail art design for you that will look good on both short and long nails
If you do have longer nails, why not head over to Anna's Nail art channel and checkout her super adorable gradient nail design also for valentines day
I wonder how she did the fading hearts. You can find the link to her video in the info box below
As always, start with a good base coat to protect your nails from staining. I'll put the one I use in the links below if you're interested
Apply a white polish as your base color. give it a couple of minutes for that to dry
Then use a thin brush dipped in a red nail polish and draw a curved line in the middle of the nail
Dip your brush again and draw a second line crossing over the first line
You'll end up with a weird looking x shape
Then fill in the sections in between the lines
Next use a silver or glitter polish and go over the 1st line to create an edge
This will make the shape look more like a twisted ribbon
If the line is not opaque enough, go over again to achieve the desired result
To decorate, I prepared some red glitter to place over the red shaded area
If the red polish has dried, go over with base or top coat to create a sticky surface
Then use a toothpick or an orange stick to pick up the glitter
Place them one by one filling in the red areas to make them super sparkly
Do this on the top section as well
If you're thinking, wow this might take a while to fill up, but actually I find it quite therapeutic placing them one by one
it's kind of like packing, you put things in where there is space and everything just ends up in there and it all somehow fits without too much thinking involved
So when you're done packing on the glitter, there's one more thing you gotta do
it's not a valentine's design without a heart right? and that will go straight in the middle
And then its perfect
To secure the decals, add a layer of top coat to seal in the design
