Solo heart nail art

Valentine's Day right around the corner and it's time to prep your nails for the big day (or date)!  Whether you're single or smitten, this nail design will show off your cute, innocent side. 

Here's what you'll need:

  • Base coat nail polish
  • A pale pink nail polish
  • White nail polish

Here's how you'll do it:

  • Cut and file your nails to your desired length.
  • Apply a clear base coat nail polish to all of your nails.  Allow the base coat to dry completely.
  • Paint a pale pink polish over all of your nails.  Wait for the polish to dry and apply another coat if necessary.
  • Once the pink polish is dry, paint a small "V" shape on the ring finger of both hands.  The "V" should be placed at one of the top corners of your nail.  Shape the "V" into a heart by using a dotting tool or dabbing your brush. 
  • Allow the white polish to dry and then paint a clear top coat over all of your nails.
