Easiest Nail Art Ever? Hearts (Valentine's Themed)

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner I decided to share a V-day themed nail tutorial.

Heart shapes, I learned while in culinary school are one of the easiest shapes to freehand. If you can make a dot, you can draw a heart. Now, knowing what I know I decided that I should take the pressure off for this upcoming holiday and share my little secret with all of my readers, viewer, and anyone else who happens to stumble across this article.

How to do it:

Dot and drag, dot and drag!

If you need more explanation watch my video below!

If you have any suggestions for more V-day themed designs I’d love to make them happen here!
P.S. There is a French manicure themed design coming soon!

Korres Blush Review and Swatches

Korres blushes to me are simply put: Amazing! Currently available at Sephora (or where you can find Korres Makeup) these blush are .21oz and cost $22 USD. There are six colors available which include:

1. 15 Natural (golden nude)
2. 16 Pink (pink rose)
3. 18 Peach (peachy pink)
4. 32 Purple Brown (plum beige)
5. 44 Orange (golden peach)
6. 47 Orange Brown (peachy beige)

I personally own 16, 18, 44 and 47 and love everyone of them. Each is richly pigmented, smooth and blendable. All of the shades also have a varying degree of shimmer however even the shades with a heavier shimmer are not glitterbombs and if well buffed leave just a dewy glow. My personal favorite shade is 44 Orange. It is bright yet natural and a unique shade that can be worn everyday and in my opinion is the essential summer shade. Of the four the only cool shade is 16 Pink. Although the shade is cool and my skintone is warm the shade still works wonderfully. This shade is also the one with the least shimmer (nearly matte). Below are some pictures and swatches of the aforementioned shades...

Another Animal Print

I really must say that I have never, ever, ever been a fan of animal prints until about 3 months ago and even then it had to be something special for me really like it. I guess the tacky animal prints of the 90's (specifically those worn by women in my family) really scarred me. After the Zebra Nail Tutorial I did I was feeling good about them, at least on my nails. So when leopard was requested I was worried. Well, it only took me two months to do it but I also added a little twist to it by making it pink! Who doesn't like pink?!

I can't say that I really changed any of the design except the color scheme. But, here's what it looks like:
