Valentines Series: Happy Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Today I am sharing with you all, a pretty and pink Valentines nail art. I love the hearts print in the middle two nails and how it turned out. The polishes that I have used here are - Red is Chanel's Dragon, Pink is Revlon's Cupid and White is Butter London's Cotton Buds.

Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Valentines Series: Valentine's Colorblock

Today the nail art I am sharing with you is another of my Valentine's Day design :)

For this design I started with base coat of OPI's My Boyfriend Scales the Walls. When the polish was dry I applied stripping tape to my nails, spacing them out differently. Then on the blocks created by the stripping tape I painted OPI's Mod About You and Essie's Mink Muffs ( which reminds me of chocolate :) on a Valentine's Day ). I removed the stripping tape right away and that way perfect color blocks where created. Once all the polish was dry I added tiny hearts using Revlon's Plum Seduction and then applied the top coat. That's It :) If you would like to see the tutorial for this nail art let me know in the comments section below.

You can see a similar nail art that I did before here.

Valentines Series: Red White and Black

Today's nail art is a new and different take on Valentine's Day. Instead of presenting you with usual pink and red Valentine's Day manicure, I decided to try something different. Hence this design with these colors.

The polishes that I have used are - Maybelline's Onyx Rush, Butter London's Cotton Buds and OPI's The Spy Who Loved Me

Hope you all like this break from usual pink for Valentine's Day.

Valentines Series: Hearts Glitter

Another nail art that you can do for Valentines Day, is by adding hearts glitter to your normal polish and that’s exactly what I did here. The base coat that I used is OPI’s Parlez-vous and the hearts glitter is from Nichole by OPI’s Love Your Life. Since the base of the glitter is pink, I decided to use purple as the base coat which makes the pink hearts pop out.

Valentines Series: Pictorial using Revlon's Stencils

Hello Friends, today's nail art post is my first Pictorial to show how I did the nail art, which was posted yesterday. As I mentioned yesterday, the hearts in the nail art were created by using the Nail art stencils from Revlon. The dots where created by using a dotting tool.

For this manicure you will need -
1. Nail art Stencils.
2. Dotting tool (if you don't have a dotting tool you can use either a tooth pick or ends of a bobby pin).
3. 2-3 nail polishes (The polishes that I have used here are - Red is Chanel's Dragon, Pink is Revlon's Cupid and White is Butter London's Cotton Buds).
4. Top Coat.

Here is a picture of the heart stencils from Revlon, I bought from nearest drug store.

Step 1 - To start first paint your nails with a polish that you want to use as a base coat. Make sure it dries completely, before you attempt Step 2.

Step 2. Take out the Stencil and apply it on the nail. Make sure it is fully sticking to the nail else it will create a lot of mess and the stencil's design will not come properly on the nail.

Step 3. Once the stencil is sticking to the nail, using a different color polish, now paint on top of the design on the stencil.

Step 4. Without waiting for a long time, carefully take out the stencil from the nail and Voila, the design is imprinted on your nail :)

Step 5. Now on a different nail using the dotting tool apply random dots on the nail. You can mix and match the designs. As you can see I did the stencil nail art on 2 nails and dots on 3.

Step 6. Once all the nail art is dry, seal it with your favorite top coat. That's it, easy peasy, isn't it.

Valentines Series: Nail Art using Revlon's Stencils

Welcome to the 100th blog post of Nails Context. Yes you read it right, 100th :) Can't believe it. Feels like just yesterday when I started my blog. Also in case you are following Nails Context on Instagram, you must know I recently reached 1000 followers on Instagram.

Now about today's post, I recently came across Nail art stencils from Revlon at a drug store and decided to give them a try. I bought the heart nail art stencils and decided what better time than Valentine's Day to try them out. So for the following cute Valentine's Day nail art that you see, the hearts I did are by using the Stencils and the dots are done by using a dotting tool.

I will post a pictorial (tutorial in pictures) tomorrow, so you get to see how easy it was to do this nail art. The polishes that I have used here are - Red is Chanel's Dragon, Pink is Revlon's Cupid and White is Butter London's Cotton Buds.

Valentines Series: Hearts It Is

Hello All. Is it me or is 2014 already running by so fast. Cannot believe its Feb already. We all know what Feb means, isn't it. It means Valentines Day. And what defines Valentine's Day better than hearts. So today's nail art is what I wore, on my nails, last year for Valentine's Day (hence the lack of better pictures).

The polishes that I have used are Revlon's Cupid and Plum Seduction.

I did similar nail art for my Sister's feet last year for Valentines Day. Below is a picture of that. It shows how you can recreate same nail art on both hands and feet.

Hope you all like it. Have a wonderful month of February.
