valentines kisses

It's that time of year again, where everybody turns gushy, loved up and everything is all teddy bears and love hearts. Oh Valentines Day. Personally, I am not a fan of the lovey dovey stuff, but it certainly gives me an excuse to translate the theme onto my nails. When I saw this adorable tutorial from Cutepolish, I knew I had to give it a go!
I used OPI's Steady As She Rose polish as a base then I used Models Own Sophie's Pink and Barry M's Bright Red to do the kiss prints. It's a little messy but I think they look quite cute. They took a while and would definitely look prettier on longer nails, but for a first attempt, I'm pretty happy! They are subtly Valentines themed without being too over the top.

Have you tried out any loved up nail art?
