Amanda Batula's "Precious" Valentine's Day Manicure Didn't Go As Planned: "I'm So Mad"

The Summer House cast member thought her Valentine's Day nail art was "so cute" until she looked at her hands "from far away."

By Abby Feiner

Amanda Batula recently got into the Valentine's Day spirit with an adorable manicure, but as the Summer House cast member gave her nail art a second look, she realized it wasn't exactly giving the romantic vibe she was going for.

"So I just did my nails last night and, like, close-up, oh my god, so cute," Amanda said in a February 8 Instagram Story video showing her nails. "Look at the little hearts. Precious, love, happy Valentine's Day."

However, as she pulled her hands away from the camera, she continued, "From far away, I [look like I] have bloody little fingers. My cuticles are bleeding. Now I feel like I have to redo them. I'm so mad."

While we think Amanda's nails look perfect, if she does decide to go for a different design, she happens to be an expert at doing her own nail art (we're still thinking about the epic birthday manicure she sported in July 2023). In the video above, Amanda explained, "I've been doing my own nails since the pandemic."

While Amanda didn't say what she and Kyle Cooke have planned this year for Valentine's Day, in the video above, the couple shared details on what a special night out can typically cost them. "If it's a date night and we're going to a nice restaurant, [we can spend] easily three, four hundred [dollars]," Kyle said.

Summer House will return for Season 8 on Thursday, February 22, at 9/8c on Bravo (new episodes will stream the next day on Peacock), and viewers will see Kyle and Amanda having big conversations about their future. 

"A recent potential pregnancy has Amanda contemplating the next step and her identity outside of her marriage," reads Amanda's official bio. "She is ready to leave NYC behind and buy a house in the suburbs, but her husband has other ideas. As she and Kyle continue to disagree about a work/life balance, will Amanda’s questions about her future at Loverboy threaten their marriage?"
