Nails for Valentines Day

My fabulous nail tech did the cutest design on my nails today! She decorated my nails with black swirls, white hearts, and silver accents.

My toenails are painted with OPI nail polish, and my fingernails are done with OPI Gelcolor, both in the color "My Address is Hollywood".

The inspiration was this pin on Pinterest.

My apologies for the blurry cell phone pictures...
