Two of my designs were featured in Allure.com’s 20 Cute and Easy Valentine’s Day Nail Art Ideas and I’m not going to lie, it’s pretty exciting. I get a little jolt of validation whenever my art gets featured in mani round-ups, especially when they are two designs that I personally love and especially especially when it’s in ALLURE.

The products I recommended in the article are options that are available in traditional polish, and I’ll tag the gel versions I used for these looks as well- in case you want to recreate on your clients.

For this look I used Kokoist Color Gel in White Graduation, Pregel Color Ex in Hibiscus, Kokoist Color Gel in Japanse Magenta, Kokoist Color Gel in Bluey White.

For this look I used Kokoist Color Gel in Rouge Red, Light Elegance Glitter Gel in Mariachi in Mexico and topped it with Ageha CosmeColor Gel in Cassis Syrup.
