Easy Valentine’s Day Manicure

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

easy valentine's day manicure 06February 14th is right around the corner so I came up with this quick and easy Valentine’s Day manicure I could do at home.
easy-valentines-day-manicure-01I am not a big manicure person. I hardly ever paint my nails because I just don’t have the time to keep them up. The only free-time I have to paint them is during nap time or before bed (which never works because they don’t dry in time and get all creased while I sleep).easy valentine's day manicure easy-valentines-day-manicure-03Given my lack of time, I found Valentine’s Day manicure inspiration on Pinterest. A lot of them were just too ornate or time-consuming for me to accomplish. Then, I found a simple manicure with a tiny red heart in the lower left corner of the ring finger. I used this idea as inspiration for this super easy Valentine’s Day Manicure.easy-valentines-day-manicure-04In total, this took me less than 5 minutes to accomplish, not counting drying time. I love the subtle and simple little pink hearts against the fleshy pink. If you want to try this one at home, here are the steps I followed.easy-valentines-day-manicure-05

Easy Valentine’s Day Manicure

You will need:

Base Coat (I used this)
Pink or Red Polish (I used this)
Light Pink or Clear Polish (I used this)
Top Coat (I used this)
Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Apply a base coat and let dry.

2. Dip the toothpick into the dark pink or red polish and create two tiny dots next to each other on your nail. Create a triangle below the two dots to connect them and form a heart. If that seems too complicated, you can actually just put three dots and fill in the open spots with polish. (Feel free to move the heart to other spots on the nail. I like that they are off-center and not too perfect, but you could definitely put them in the middle of the nail or make them larger if you prefer).

3. Once the hearts are dry, apply 1-2 coats of the light pink or clear polish.

4. Once dry, apply a shiny top coat. That’s it!

Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell Please don’t touch my kids’ hair. Please tell your kids not to touch their hair. I can’t believe I have to say this or explain why this is racist. But I do.

I’m sure this seems like a random statement to most people. It might not seem like a big deal to you. But it’s not random and it is a big deal. It’s a common experience for Black people, and it’s not ok. 

Given everything going on right now, it’s hard for me to talk about a right to our personal space and bodies. That’s part of it. But it’s also about making my kids feel like an other.

New on poshinprogress.com, I’m sharing the story of my shock and surprise when my daughter told me she didn’t feel comfortable wearing her hair down anymore because so many of her classmates were touching her hair. And then being dumbfounded to find out my son has had a similar experience. I also share information on racial micro aggressions and history of Black people’s hair. If this story is surprising or confusing to you, please read more about why it’s never ok to touch Black people’s hair.

During the summer, I live in t-shirt dresses. I try to find ones that have built in shape, like this one with a little shoelace tied waist. I also add shape and finish the look by adding jackets or light layers.

I was going to post about summer fashion. I was go I was going to post about summer fashion. I was going to talk about my kids’ beach camp next week. 

But this can’t go unsaid. I am so angry right now. I am terrified for my daughter and women in the U.S.

We just lost a fundamental human right. We just lost control of our bodies. 

This is not about saving the lives of unborn children. Because if it was, then all guns would be banned - because guns are the leading cause of childhood death in the U.S. 

This decision is about control. About controlling women. 

If you have the ability to choose whether to own a gun, why can’t I choose the healthcare decisions that are right for me? This is no longer a democracy. This decision has so much greater impact than people even realize. 

If you’re looking for resources, I’m linking a comprehensive one in my stories. This is not a place for debate, this is a place to protect women and our rights to control our bodies. We must stand together.
