Valentine's Day Nails Take Two

So I realized that my other Valentine's day nails I posted last week may have been a little premature.

But now Valentine's Day is only 3 days away so in an attempt to be festive and not bitter that I still don't have a Valentine I've got another lovey dovey manicure to show you!



To start this manicure, I applied two coats of Revlon Gray Suede.



Using a dotting tool, I made rows of dots with Sinful Colors Easy Going. Then I took the smaller end of the dotting tool and layered the large dots with smaller ones using Stripe Rite Pink.

For my accent nail, I painted a heart with the same pink and very carefully applied red microbeads using a dotting tool dipped in water.



The microbeads got a little messy because I got the dotting tool too wet a couple of times and flooded my nail with water, but overall I think this mani still turned out pretty cute.



Microbeads can be pain to work with and a pain to wear but I do love the accent they can add to a mani!


Hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day whether you're going out on a hot date or just spending time with people you love :)
