Okay, first things first. This would be your number-how-many Valentine’s Day nails post you’ve seen today? 😉 Ahh but I bet you didn’t think you’d see a lousy, failed attempt at nail art here, did you? Right. Moving along 😛
Next, I have to apologise at the so-called nail art I attempted for this manicure. I didn’t think of doing my nails any different for Valentine’s Day, but since I’ve been wanting to try out Sally Hansen’s Nail Art Pen for a while now, I thought why not try drawing hearts?
Conclusion – I cannot draw hearts for peanuts.
My hands tend to shake when I paint my nails, and even more so when I used the pen to draw the hearts. The nail pen goes on very well on paper, but it’s quite hard to draw a smooth line on dried nail polish because it tends to drag (hence the lumpy pink bits). It’s very watery, but goes on matte. I think it’s better to stick to proper nail polish for nail art, because quite frankly, this nail art pen stinks.

Be my Valentine? 🙂
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Ah Beng sure can pull an ugly mug 😀 😀 😀
But yea, I didn’t get good results from the Sally Hansen pen either. I bought the white one to attempt French manicure. No go. *sad face*

LeGeeque: Lousy, right? I was so disappointed. I was hoping to do French manis and attempt other forms of nail art with the pen, but it was a fail. Sigh.

Plue: Ahem. Since he doesn’t read the blog, he doesn’t know I posted his picture here 😛
Well, love is never smooth-sailing so I think the crooked and imperfect hearts are… perfect! =D

Bun Bun: HAHAHAHA you have hit the nail on the head! I didn’t think of that, but now that you’ve mentioned it, love isn’t smooth-sailing hence the imperfect hearts 😛 😛
It looks cute! I don’t see any “FAIL” on it! I love the color combination and the base color is to die for!
Happy Valentine’s Day Tine and Hubby 😀

I think your colour combo is fab. Shame about the art pen though…. Hope you and hubby had a lovely valentines day 🙂
Raylene: Thanks Raylene 🙂 I hope you had a good Valentine’s day too 🙂
