Nail Design - Golden Heart

Hello! :)
Here's another Valentine's design :D
It's actually the "base" of what I actually intended, but thought you'd might appreciate the bit simpler version. I kind of like this better than what I made after, so I'm glad I took pictures before finishing.

I didn't do so well on the gradient though, haven't done them much so need to start practicing. I found it hard to make them as similar as possible because I had to blend the dark and light pink a bit together before transferring to the sponge, because they didn't blend well together otherwise.



What I used to make these

Base Coat:

- OPI Nail Envy - Dry and Brittle

Nail Polish: 
- OPI - Mod About you
- OPI - Honey Ryder
- Jordana - 670 Love Bug

Top Coat: 
- Seche Vite - Dry Fast

Other:
- Dotting Tool
- Sponge
- Needle

Isn't it gorgeous? That's why I had to make these valentines nails inspired by it ^^

Nail design - Accent Heart

Hello! :)
We're getting close to Valentines day, so I'm going to try to make some valentines inspired nails before that. Hopefully I will be able to give you some ideas for what to wear on valentines day :D

Noticed the bad and faded side of the heart? That's because the tape I used was quite sticky so I opened up that side, so it would be easy to peel of. I thought it would be fine since I used a sponge to apply the polish, but it snuck under there after all. The tape I used where apparently "Tip Guides" from BPS, but they where a bit small for tips xD  I'd recommend getting some good nail vinyls instead.

Although the heart looks a bit off, I thought it was very cute :) It's not that bad IRL, but you know cameras... Catching every flaw!
It's also actually not a finished look, but I wanted to share this simple version before I start over complicating it.
