I decided to deck out my nails out for Valentine’s Day by alternating a hot red and pink polish and doing something different with the thumb nail. I love a glitter polish layer over a white nail and was inspired by a lot of the Valentine’s Day candies out there (okay so the pink, red and white M&Ms, so cute and so yummy). Are you making your nails festive for Valentine’s Day?
What I used: Salley Hansen Mega Shine, Nicole by OPI Nail Lacquer, Hello World, Love & Beauty from F21, NYC French White Tip, Orly Tiara Nail Polish
I am also guest posting over at Fierce and Fashionable today! You can find me taking a dress from a day office look to a night date look! Check it out here! Thank you so much Michelle for letting me take over your blog today!!!!!!! Here’s a sneak peek at the post:
