Valentine’s Day is around the corner and red nails, lips and maybe hair will be trending. We share a few DIY tricks and trends you can do in the comfort of your home.
Nails
Add nail art to your red nails to give them heart-warming love. essie shares three easy steps to help you get your nails V-day ready.
- Apply a shade of red nail polish onto your nails and let it dry. It’s always advisable to paint a second coat of polish to give your nails a solid and rich shade of colour.
- Using a toothpick, draw hearts over the red polish with white nail paint then allow to dry.
- This step is optional. Find a darker shade and use it to draw hearts again onto the nails, and you are good to go.
- The alternative nail art trend you can be daring with this Valentine’s Day is writing LOVE (a letter per nail) from your pinkie to your index finger.
Eyes Like Rihanna
As seen on Rihanna at the Grammy awards last weekend, a clean eye area is timeless and best suits any occasion. Apply a natural shade of eyeshadow and fill your brows with a dark pencil. Complete the look by brushing your lashes with mascara.
Red Lips Like Pearl Thusi
Like Pearl Thusi, find your perfect shade of red lipstick and apply from the middle of the lips and work your way out. Everyone has their own perfect shade of red and we all know that what works on your friend won’t always suit you. A darker shade of red leaning to maroon is also a perfect match for this special occasion.
