I love Valentine’s Day because it gives us an excuse to show our loved ones how much we care. Not that we need an excuse but it’s an excuse nonetheless. I’m definitely a girly girl at heart so painting my nails pink and sparkly for Valentine’s Day feels only natural! I added “Love Always” Sally Hansen nail polish strips to my ring fingers for some extra fun. And the final result was…
Ta Da! My nails are super short now that I started playing the banjo. Doesn’t mean I can’t still have fun with it! Here’s how it’s done.
Step 1: Apply Sally Hansen nail polish strips to ring finger according to package directions. Be sure to swipe the nail with polish remover to remove any residues before applying. Trust me. It seems counter-intuitive but it really makes the polish strip last longer!
Step 2: Apply two coats of Essie “Blanc” nail polish. Let it dry completely. The next polish is so light that adding a pure white underneath will help so you’re not adding 30 coats to achieve full color.
Step 3: Apply two coats of Deborah Lippmann “Shape of My” Heart polish.
Step 4: Top off with 1 coat of Dior Perlé iridescent matte top coat. Make sure to add the top coat to your Sally Hansen polish strip as well. That’ll make all your nails matte so you don’t have 1 weird shiny finger.
Happy Valentine’s Day Loves!
