Hallmark Valentines Card Inspired Nail Art Collab with BeautybyKrystal

I love to do nail art collaborations with my cousin Krystal. And this time she had such a cool idea for Valentines.
Hallmark Valentines card inspired! Such a cute idea.

So, off I went to shop for a card for my guy.  It didn't take long at all. This one stood out right away.







I started with a basic red on my thumb and ring finger then added a red shimmer.
For the rest of the nails I painted them an off white and also added a shimmer white top coat.


I then used some black nail tape across the nail to create a french tip. This can also be done with a stripe write black polish or black polish and art brush.
Then with acrylic paint and fine art brush I started creating the filigree design. Mixing black and white until I got the right grey.
I went back into the white and added more detail.

Go back and trim off the tape.

Create a heart, with red acrylic paint, over the middle of the black stripe.


Then I outlined the heart with a thin black line. And then dotted some more shimmer red polish to the heart.

Seal in this manicure with a thick top coat.


When I had this nail design on, my guy said they were his favorite design I have done yet. I just smiled and said thank you. He hasn't seen his card yet.....

Happy Valentines Day Lovelies!
