Good afternoon loves! So back in December while I was on my swatch break I got back into nail art and I enjoyed it so much I've decided to do a bi-weekly nail art series for my blog and YouTube! Whether it be free hand painting, stamping or both, I will post a blog and a YouTube video sharing with you how I created each mani.
I'm very much looking forward to bringing Nail Art back to my blog as 8 years ago when I joined the nail community, I started out as a nail artist, not a swatcher/reviewer. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful to be able to review for so many polish and beauty brands but I also miss just being creative. This way I can do both!
So today is the first official installment of the Let's Paint Bi-weekly Series! And today I have a Valentines inspired nail art to share with you. This is my Love-a-Lot Bear Valentines mani! Read on for more info!
Polishes & Products Used:
Vanessa Molina-Strong Base Coat
Night Owl Lacquer-Ya Basic White
Apple Barrel-Acrylic Paint
Tonic Polish-Liquid Velvet Matte Top Coat
Please watch my YouTube video to see my process on how I created this mani :)

What's Up Nails-Paint & Clean Up Brushes
I received 3 brushes from What's Up Nails to review and thought the first official installment of my 'Let's Paint Bi-weekly Series' would be the perfect time to do so. Below is the info of all 3 brushes I used. All 3 worked great!
*A little tip I do have for all brushes I use for my nail art. After use, apply a tiny amount of cuticle oil or cuticle balm to the bristles. This will help keep the bristles uniform and in place to be ready for the next use.

This round brush is great for cleaning up cuticles or creating amazing one stroke designs like flower petals, and comes in a stylish fuchsia pink and silver swirl design covered handle and cap!
