How to keep the love alive: Post-Valentine’s Day nail tutorial

With the day of love over for another year, Becka shows us how to sustain the romance with a bit of nail art until next year.

Firstly you need to paint your nail white, after having put on a base
coat.

1

Then, using any colour you wish, paint two circles on your nail.

2

Next, using a black varnish, using a dotting tool or toothpick, outline
the circles, as in the picture.

3

Then, still using your dotting tool or toothpick and black varnish, paint
two curves inside the circle to represent the petals.

4

Finally, using a green varnish, paint two triangles either side of the
roses to make the leaves. If you have a lighter shade of green, you can
paint a smaller triangle inside your leaves for extra detail.

5

For those of you who want something a bit more subtle, then I have a
second design for you.

Again, paint your nail white.

6

Then, in the top right corner, paint two small dots in red varnish.

7

Then finally, using a dotting tool or toothpick, paint a little triangle
linking the circles together to create a little heart.

8

As always, finish with a top coat.
