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!

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.
Dance #19 Round Brush - $9.75
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!
Brush Length: 1/4in (7mm)
Dance #20 Detail Brush - $9.75
This brush is great for creating intricate nail art designs, short stroke detailing, outlining, filigree, and creating letters ect. Comes in a stylish fuchsia pink and silver swirl design covered handle and cap!
Brush Length: 3/8in (9mm)
Dance #24 Detail Brush - $9.75
A wonderful nail art brush with fine bristles to create perfect lines, outlines, details, letters, short stroke art, and much more! Comes in a stylish fuchsia pink and silver swirl design covered handle and cap!
