Gel nails done by yours truly ;)
This design is perfect for everyone! Whether your nails are long or short, whether you're 5 or 80 years old it's suitable for all, and of course the colour of the heart can be changed to your preferences, you can even add a background colour to add some fun to the design.
My nails here are almond shaped so the heart design is a little more obvious, on rounded/square/oval nails the heart will look more like a scalloped french tip, which is also super cute.
To do the heart shape:
- Choose a colour of your choice
- Wipe off any excess polish from both sides of the brushBy wiping the excess polish off the brush to draw the heart, you are giving yourself a blueprint of where the heart should go to see if it's placement is right.
- Roughly mid way down one side of the nail, press the brush down and pull the brush towards the tip of the nail's centre at a slight curve
- Repeat on the opposite side.
- Put 1-2 more thin coats of polish on the heart to build up it's opacity and round off the edges to make it look more like a heart than a 'V' shape.
- To clean up and make rounding off the edges of the heart easier, use a square brush dipped in nail polish remover to slowly and carefully neaten the lines/curves.
- Once finished, add a topcoat and you're done!
It's a very simple but effective design, and really easy to achieve. If you re-create this design tag me on instagram @realitykillsinnocence I'd love to see your version.

Love the gold tips! How long did it take you to do them?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like them! The gel nails took a good few hours to do, but that's only because I do them myself and I'm slow >_< The gold tips took about 15 minutes or so, it's a really simple but elegant design!
