I LOVE LOVE

Can you blame me?

I’ll admit it.  I love Valentine’s Day!
I just can’t help it.
I know there’s a whole cult of women who boycott the holiday.
And I get it.  I really do.
But I just think it’s sweet.
And with the hustle and bustle of life
any day that makes us stop and remember to love
is a good day in my opinion.
And you all know I love me some hearts–so any holiday (Hallmark or otherwise) 
that gives me an excuse to use hearts galore
is a winning holiday in my book!

So with Valentine’s Day coming up 
(next Friday, y’all!  Be sure to snag a sweet card for your sweetheart)!
I thought I’d share a sweet mani that would be perfect for the day of LOVE.
 POLISHES USED:
OPI: OPI ink
Pure Ice: Beware (you know I love this glitter polish)
Finger Paints: Paper Mache’
 TOOLS USED:
Dotting tool for small heart
Metallic pink striping tape

**disclaimer: I find inspiration from pinterest and other nail art artists.  I do not claim this manicure as an original idea;
as with anything creative, it was inspired by many others.

    I love that it's not a traditional Valentine's color scheme, yet still conveys the holiday!

    Very nice! Beth is right, this is super charming 🙂 I just picked up some striping tape recently – found some super cheap Essence brand tape and scooped it right up!!

    Oh as soon as I stop gnawing on my nails, I'll be sure to paint them 🙂 I'd love for my nails to look this good.

    Ok, pharrell aside, we should be friends. Valentine's Day is my favourite day of the year- basically for the reasons you gave! If I had any hand-eye coordination I would totally rock that mani, I especially love the glitter!
