Happy February and Happy Valentine's Day!
Today, I'm sharing a quick and simple tutorial for a cute Valentine's nail accent. The effect is a wavy chevron texture that adds an eye-catching detail to your basic pink and red manicure. This design literally takes 5 minutes, so it's perfect for adding that last detail to your Valentine's date outfit or making the best Galentine's day party ever! All you need is some polish, a toothpick, and a glass of Rosé ;)

Paint the base coat on your nails. Let it dry completely.
Paint white stripes on your nail, making sure to leave enough space for some stripes in-between.
Disclaimer: I used nail pens to draw the stripes but you can just as easily dip a toothpick in some polish and drag it across your nail.
Paint in red stripes.
Quickly while the polish is still wet, drag a toothpick through the stripes in an upward direction.
Then in a downward direction.
When the polish is all dry, add a layer of top coat. This also helps make the design look smoother.
You made it!
Voilà! Now you have a set of pretty painted nails that you can show off to the sweetheart in your life!
I love painting my nails because it's always so much fun to look down at my hands and have a cute, bright design beaming up at me (which is much needed in these winter months)! Plus, I always feel like it's a fun and unexpected way to showcase your holiday spirit for a couple of weeks.
