DIY: Our Top 5 Favourite Valentine’s Day Manicure Inspirations
Valentine’s Day falls on a Friday this year, which is perfect for evening plans and a romantic dinner with your loved one. Or better yet, turn the romantic date night into a staycation since it’s the weekend! Not to forget, it’s also Chap Gor Mei – the Chinese Valentine’s Day that marks the last day of the Chinese New Year celebration
With so much going on this weekend, be sure your nails are dolled up for the special occasion too! Here are our 5 favourite manicure inspirations for Valentine’s Day:
1. Valentine Owl
There’s something about this particular feathered friend that makes it so lovable that we have them as ornaments, pendants, owl motif on our apparels so we thought, why not on our nails too?

2. Doily Nail Art
Here’s how using 3 different colours, basic shapes and layering can create this sweet and simple doily effect on our nails. We reckon you should experiment with different colour combinations to match your outfits!

4. Sweetheart Nail Art
We love how simple it looks (and simple to re-create!) and love the effect when it’s completed! It’s like a series of mini heart rainbows across our nails – what’s not to love?

5. Hanging Hearts
This one is slightly more complicated but if you’ve got a little time on your hands, you should totally give it a try! Also, we think that we’d like to substitute the hearts for cherries instead. Tee-hee
