Beauty Trend of the week with MUA- Bold Statement lips & nails inspired by Valentine’s Day

Valentine's Day is drawing near and after my Valentine's Day nail look I did last week, I decided to do even MORE Valentine's Day nails and lips! I wanted something that was Valentine's Day, but still on-trend for spring, so different shades of red and pink fits into the valentine’s look perfectly for this season’s on trend colours. Red nails have never gone out of style; it's just that the variation of shades and the shape of the nail that changes. For example, in the '80s, long pointy nails rocked, and in the '90s, long rounded nails were styling'. This season, short red nails are red hot! Just check out the digits on trend setters Christina Aguilera and Mary-Kate Olsen.

My Valentine's Inspired nails before adding the design, in Shade order: 14, 8, 6, 4, 14- All £1 each. 

My completed Valentine's nail look using Shade 5 Black liquid eyeliner-£1 and the above nail varnish shades:

Statement lips can be pretty much any colour, from a bubble-gum pink to a glossy bright red to a warm purple; as long as they’re bold, bright and bolshy you’re onto a winner. There are only two rules with statement lips – check your teeth every hour, minimum (or enlist a reliable friend to alert you to when you’re working that coloured-teeth look), and don’t overdo your makeup look with statement eyes and/or statement cheeks too. Aside from those two things, statement lips are actually pretty easy to get right. A pop of colour at a 9am tutorial is just as appropriate as a dramatic look on a night out, and although it might not make your 9-5 day of lectures better it definitely makes getting ready for said day of lectures a lot more bearable. So look around and experiment – go as bright as you dare.

In Shade order- 1,1,3,13,6

Shade 6 lipstick

This trend is everywhere at the moment – and pretty much always is (I’m not even sure if this look even counts as a trend, given that bright red lips are almost a prerequisite of catwalk or red carpet dress codes). As I am keeping in the Valentine’s day inspiration what better to choose these different shades of MUA lipsticks to make a statement, I have opted for Shade 6- as it’s a beautiful shade of pink, and to give it my own twist I have used Shade 5 black liquid liner to write LOVE on my lips(This was so tricky, but it can be done with patience and a steady hand).
