“Life is too short to have naked nails.”
Since Valentine’s day is tomorrow, what better way to treating yourself than an at-home manicure. This manicure is perfect for a glam night out with your bae or for a well deserved pamper session during midterm season.

3. For the heart design on the thumb.
a) Cut out a heart shape on a piece of washi tape and place it on the nail. Make sure that your base coat is completely dry, or else it will peel off.
b) Next, fill in the heart with your desired polish.
c) Once you peel the tape off, you should have a perfect glittery heart.
4. Paint the pinky nail, a base colour of white. Next, paint the corner of a sponge with the sparkly polish. Then, use a dabbing motion on the nail to achieve a metallic marble look.
