The Prettiest of Pin Curls


Doesn't Kirra look gorgeous?! The 1920's have never looked so good..

Jared's pin curl's were spot on for this look inspired by Greta Garbo.


What would a sea of curls be without a little makeup?


Nice work Jared!


Look who's in the 80's spirit

You will Need:
-Base/Top Coat, White polish, Red/Pink polish
-Toothpicks
-Tape   

Step 1: Find awesome friend to paint your nails.


Step 2: Choose a base/top coat, white, and either a pink or red shade. (Remember we are talking about L-O-V-E here ladies!)


Step 3: Apply base coat to clean, dry nails.


Step 4: Begin with either white or pink color, alternating nails.


Step 5: Apply second color to remaining nails.


Step 6:  Get those toothpicks ready...


Break those babies in half! Put tape (or folder tab if that's all you can find) on working area.


Apply polish to tape and then dip the toothpick into polish.


Step 7: Get your polka on! Leave one nail without
polkas on each hand. (For blunt end break toothpick in half.)



Step 8:   Make 2 small dots with the toothpick on the nail without polka dots, then carefully spread into a heart shape with pointy tip of toothpick.


     Step 9: Admire those beauties.

   

  You can't spend the most romantic day of the year without cute nails so find a friend and get painting!
