Manicure Monday - Valentine's Dotticure with Hearts

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! Can you believe it is February already?! Time to start thinking Valentine's Day! 

I purchased all the polishes in this post - this post contains affiliate links

All month long for #CBBxManiMonday we are featuring red and pink manis - this theme speaks to me because pink nails are my default! 


I'm actually not a huge Valentine's person myself - my version of romance is a heart shaped pizza, but I actually love the Valentine's aesthetic - everything is hearts and cute and over the top! I love it!

The polishes I used for this week's mani are:

• ORLY nail polish in Cake Pop
• Sally Hansen polish in Fuschia Power
• Butter London polish in Ultra Violet 
• Innisfree polish #204 Jessie
• Moyra Top Coat for Nail Stamping

And, I forgot to add it to the picture; but, I also used a dotting tool. 

To complete this manicure, I started with a nail cleanser and base coat. Then I applied two coats of the light pink ORLY polish. Then with the red polish and dotting tool, I created a couple of hearts on each nail - you dot 2 dots beside each other and drag the dot down (here is the original tutorial!). Then, using the red I added a couple of dots as well to each nail. Then I added dots with the purple and pink (the pink ended up looking too similar to the red, but it was too late to change it! I concentrated the dots at the top of the nail. Then, I finished with a nail art top coat! 

As always, make sure you check out the other #CBBxManiMonday manis - Cosmetic Proof, Prairie Beauty Love, and Tea & Nail Polish to see their pink and red nails too!
