Valentines Day Red Hearts Checker board Nail Art Tutorial

-
Hello everyone! Valentines Day is approaching! It's approaching real fast! But, I don't want it to come because I wanna keep doing Valentines nail art!  I want more hearts! More pretty colours! More cute designs! Don't go Valentines Day, don't go! I guess I still have some time to go, so for now lets enjoy this tutorial for these pretty checker board heart nails!


I actually had a bit of a tough time figuring out the best way to do the checker board pattern, it took some experimenting and a lot of failure, but I think that this is the best method (or at least the best method that I have tried). The polishes that I used were Revlon Red by Revlon and Spirit from the Revlon Top Speed range.


Alright! To start off paint all your nails white, all of them! Then take a teeny-eeny-weeny lil' nail art brush and some red nail polish and divide the nail into four sections.


Next, fill in two sections which are opposite to each other in red for a checker board effect.


Now, paint one red heart on each white section. To paint a heart just make a v shape with the tips rounded.


Then on the red sections paint a white heart, and voila! Cute checker board nails with hearts for Valentines Day.


I think that these nails almost look a little like a lady bug, for some reason. Wouldn't it be cute if Lady-bugs had hearts on their wings instead of spots? Then they would be love-bugs! Anyway, these look so cute for Valentines Day, and they are very geometric and symmetrical! I hope that you all enjoyed these nails and if you're looking for more Valentines nail-inspiration then you can find it here! I wanna know what you guys think! Have you done checker-board nails before? What will you be wearing on your nails this Valentines day? Let me know what you think right here in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog).
May your nails be good

Hi again everybody! I am here today with the second part of my Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 collection review which is a comparison post! In this post, I will be doing comparisons for each nail  polish in the collection as well as including some extra swatch photos for each polish! Y'know what, I have never done a full post dedicated to comparisons before so I am excited! It was really interesting to see which polishes had more dupes and which polishes were hard to find dupes for, some were a lot harder to find dupes for than I was expecting. Oh! And in case you missed the swatch and review of this collection, you can read that post here . Now, It's time to compare some polishes! For this post we will be going in the same order of polishes as the swatch and review, y'know, just to make it easy to follow. Today we are starting with the first polish that I swatched and reviewed in the collection; Spring Fling. As you can see, this is a very pale purple colour. S...

Hello, hello! Welcome to another swatch and review! Guys, guys, guess what? This is the very first polish from OPI that I have swatched and reviewed! Innit that exciting? This is a new polish that I picked up about two weeks ago as apart of a large haul, and it's been sitting on my 'Nail polish I need to swatch or do nail art with' rack ever since. I wanted to swatch this for you guys so badly, so I'll hop right into the review now! This polish is called 'Chocolate Moose'. Yum! I'm down for some chocolate moose! Err, anyway,back to the polish. This is a very light chocolate brown colour. The formula is fantastic and such a pleasure to apply. It's also super opaque, very close to being a one-coater, and I think that you could definitely get away with one thick coat. Shown is two coats. I noticed that as I was applying the polish that it seemed very very shiny, but as it dries somewhat less shiny than it applies. One of the things that I rea...
