Since I did pink hearts last week, I tried to give some thought to other colours associated with romance and love, and I bet that you can't find a colour more passionate than purple!
The base colour of this manicure is the beautiful Zoya Matte Velvet Savita, a rich royal purple with a fuchsia undertone. Initially I did some polka dots and an xoxo pattern on my nails, but I wasn't happy with the way they turned out, so I scrapped that and decided to go solo with this cute smooch on my ring finger.
I free-handed the lips on with Shany striper 17 and did a little heart in Ruby Wing Eternal. Once the lips were dry, I took a small brush and made tiny streaks across them with Savita, to mimic the natural creases of lips when you pucker up. Finally, I sealed everything with a coat of Essie's Matte About You topcoat.
I hope you like this simple yet passionate Valentine's Day manicure! I also hope that regardless of your relationship status, you surround yourself on Valentine's Day (and everyday!) with people whom you love and care about, and who feel the same way about you :)
Lots of love ♥
