Valentine's Day Nail Ideas

Hey loves! I know it's super late, but I wanted to post this anyway, since I clearly didn't get around to posting it prior to the holiday.

I think that Valentine's Day nails are so much fun. It's an excuse to HAVE to wear pink nail polish! These are my 4 ideas on what to do for the holiday.

1. Two Color Pattern.
     This one is the simplest "design" that you can do. It is barely even a design at all! No nail tools are required, and you don't need any "talent" to do these. All you do, is pick two colors of polish. Then, pick two nails to paint color #1, and paint the other three with color #2! And THAT'S IT!!

Here, I used Nicole By OPI in I Do De-Claire and Back in my Gloria Days, both from the Modern Family collection.

2. Mix & Match.

     These nails will be so different from person to person. I went through and chose a red and a pink, silver or gold, a textured pink, a white, and then strippers in colors corresponding with my previous choices. You can see what I did in the picture, but I really liked the idea of using the textured polish on only one nail, and different designs on three, and making the one nail just a simple, solid color. Below, I have two hands, with the same design, I just swapped the colors a little.

Below are the polishes used for this hand.

And for the other hand...

Again, the polishes used for this hand are pictured below.

3. Pictures/Icons.

     These are the nails that everyone loves when I do. I pick popular icons and symbols for the holiday or occasion, and paint those on the nails! For this look, I used a kiss print, a rose, a candy heart, a love letter and a heart with an arrow going through it.

4. The Spring-y Valentine.

     Finally, for those who are in warmer climates, some of them think of Valentine's Day as when the weather gets warmer. This design was inspired by Nicole from http://youngwildandpolished.blogspot.com. She is always doing things similar, and they look so nice! I love the flowers, and how it looks a little like spring, but also feels "love-y," if that makes sense.

And that's it! These can use so many different colors, and could be used for different holidays, like Christmas, just by swapping out the pink for green! They are pretty easy, and they look so cute.

So, which one was your favorite design?
