Here is my Valentine's Day themed nail design :)
I used Essie's 'A lot of shekels' which is quite old so I'm not sure if its still available but any baby pink colour or similar will do.
As its quite pale I did 2-3 coats and then used a red nail polish from H&M (again quite old).
All you do is just sweep the red polish on each side of the nail to make the top of the heart. One 'sweep' on each side should do it - you may need to fill in the edges.
For the thumb, I positioned it under my ring finger (as in the photo) so i could see where i needed to colour. Then its basically an approximation really.
(This would have been easier to explain if I'd taken photos whilst I did it - sorry, I will remember that for next time.)So, just to reiterate;
1) Paint nails with a pale pinky polish, use as many coats as you want
2) Once dry, use you red polish and make a curving sweep from one side of your nail to the centre (to make half of the top of the heart)
3) Repeat for the other side of the nail to complete the heart top. You may need to carefully fill in the edges.4) THUMB. Position it under any figure of choice (see top picture) so you approximate the size of the heart's bottom.
5) I just guessed, which is why mine is bit wobbly but you could make a triangle shape to give you heart a pointed end.
Much love
