Not everyone has stamping tools and plates, but you can make a dotting tool out of various items around your home. This Valentine’s Day dotticure nail art can be done in any colour to match your outfit, but I went with sparkly versions of black, gold and red on a white background. While easy to […]

Moving away from the stark white of my heart beats Valentine’s Day look, I went for a softer pink for this kisses & hot lips look.
