Heart-shaped Valentines Day Nails

2 Girls and a Pin Heart Shaped Valentine Day Nails

The original can be found here. It seems like a great idea doesn’t it?

Let me start off by saying that I am not a big fan of Valentines Day. I feel like it’s an excuse to have a scheduled day to show your love and appreciation for your special someone. On the other days you can be an ass, as long as you did something for the big day. And if you are single, then it’s even worse. The society already tells you that you are less of a person if you are single. On top of that, Valentines Day tells you that you don’t deserve to feel special because you have no one to make you feel special. But since we can’t avoid Valentines day, I call everyone to spend it loving themselves (whichever way you take that). So in the spirit of self-loving, I decided to make my nails all lovey-dovey.
