Valentines Day Heart Ruffian Nails

Hey hey! I have my very first Valentines Day nail art for you and many more to come hopefully!

I decided to start off with something simple and while doing so, I really wanted to do something with a heart shape in it first without using the whole heart. I initially thought a french, but then decided on doing something a little less obvious and went for the heart ruffian instead! I'm not sure if it has been done before or not, I honestly have not checked, but it was one of the things that came to mind and would be great for any beginners of nail art to try out :)

I did these nails with just the brushes of the nail polish bottle, so anyone can do this! I may make a tutorial on it, but let me know if I should?

Of course, I used the traditional V day colours for this mani. All the colours used were from OPI - the red is Big Apple Red, the white is Alpine Snow and the pink is Pink Friday. I will however, be trying to find some unconventional ideas for the later nail looks.

Sorry for the gross looking cuticles! Forgot to oil them up :( 





Don't they also look like little moustaches? hee hee hee

So what do you think of this mani? Let me know in the comments below! If you have started trying out nail designs for Valentines, link me, I'd love to see them :)

Till the next post, takecare!

  3. Oh lol, I wasn't going to mention it, but then I saw your comment about little mustaches and totalllly. ;p

    This is a really cute and fun idea! I've been out of the nail blog loop for awhile, but I don't recall seeing anything quite like this before myself. I sort of think we nail bloggers are all part of a weird creative hive mind. I just had the raddest idea for an indie nail polish, and went online to see if I could find if it had already been done and it sure has! Many awesome versions! This community is super creative, friendly and so much fun to be a part of.
