Valentine's day manicure with red heart glitters by Valentina Chirico
Nail Care & Manicure

I see hearts, a Valentine’s day nail art.

Everything is pink and sweet these days, definitely too much for me! But tomorrow is Valentine’s day, and in one year’s time, it will be exactly the same. So I must breathe and bear these sweet days, and I can if you give me some dark chocolate. Here’s my love-loaded manicure for this event, expect hearts, yes…

This Valentine’s day nail art wants to be a ‘French manicure’ with a twist, some cute little heart glitters on my nail tips, instead of the classic white…

It isn’t hard at all! I started with one coat of Avon Nail Expert Pearl Shine to protect and strengthen my nails; followed by three coats of Avon Pro+ in Naked Truth, a crème nail lacquer between a neutral beige and a cold mauve. While the third coat was still fresh, I applied three Avon Color Trend heart glitters on each fingertip with the help of a nail art waxy pencil. I alternated the verse of each heart. I completed my work with two coats of Kiko Quick Dry #800 clear nail polish as my top coat.


I see hearts and you?
– I run out of sweetness –
