It's Almost Valentine's Day!

Hey guys,

So, if you know me personally, you'll know I'm not one for PDA or over the top romance per se. I have a boyfriend, whom I have spent valentine's with exactly once so far, but we don't really celebrate it. This year we plan to stay in and eat chocolate in front of a film.

...But, I thought I would get in to the spirit of the month of love and do some nail art. Any excuse, right?

For these nails, I started with a pale pink base and built on top with darker pink and red colours. I used a dotting tool for the small hearts and a brush for the larger ones. I began the gradient hearts with red, then a dark pink, lighter (but still bright) pink and finally a light pastel pink.

The idea for the gradient hearts came from this video by CutePolish however, I doubt/I don't know if she was the first to come up with this. But that's where I saw it. 

Colours used are:

Sinful Colors - Easy Going

Rimmel Lasting Finish - Double Decker Red

Barry M Nail Paint - Shocking Pink

AVON - Viva Pink

Barry M Nail Paint - Strawberry Ice Cream

I hope you can look past the bad pictures, I apologise immensely. 

Love Emily x
