Metallic Nail Art Design
Skip the hearts and go for a glam, Gatsby-esque Valentine's Day nail design that's sure to stun. Sally Hansen's Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole designed the look based on Stella McCartney's Autumn 2015 show.

Get the look:

Step 1: Apply two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Let's Snow.

Step 2: Paint a large gold moon with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Party at the base of the nail with a detail brush.

Step 3: A few millimeters below the gold, paint a second moon with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Pat On The Black, leaving a line of gold above it.

Step 4: A few millimeters below the black, paint an even smaller moon in Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Diamond Jubilee.

Step 5: Allow colors to dry and apply a topcoat.

Envelope Nail Art Design
Send a message of amore with this cute design from Ciaté London.

Get the look:

Step 1: Paint all nails with Ciaté Underwear Basecoat, and then apply two coats of Doll Face Paint Pot.

Step 2: Make a border around the edges of your nail by applying Ciaté Paint Pot in Unrestricted Glam with a striper brush.

Step 3: From the two right corners of your nail, paint two lines to form a triangle.

Step 4: Paint the envelope "fold" lines from the triangle to the outer left corners of your nails.

Step 5: With a dotting tool, create a heart using Ciaté Paint Pot in Boudoir. Add three pink crystals while the polish is still wet.

Step 6: Seal the crystals with a dab of Ciaté Speed Coat Pro. Leave the rest of the nail matte for a paper-like finish.
