Layered Valentine Heart Tips Tutorial



For my Valentine Mani I painted these tips on my ring finger.  It kind of looks like I ran a toothpick through the middle of three straight tips because they're curved.  


Materials: a dark red polish, 3 shades of pink polish, dark, medium and light, and a top coat

Steps

  1. Paint on your dark red polish as a base color
  2. Take your darkest pink polish and paint a curved "v" or tip of a heart.  The tip should take up half of your nail.  
  3. Take your medium pink polish and paint the same thing.  That should take up 2/3 of your first tip (dark shade).
  4. Do the same with your light pink polish and it should take up 2/3 of you second tip (medium shade).  This might take two coats.
  5. Finally paint on a top coat.
