Step 1 – All about that base

Dig out your trusty nail file and shape your talons into an oval shape - the pointier the better as this will form the tip of your heart-inspired design. Next, apply two coats of a neutral nail polish shade (think nude or pale pink) to create a solid base.

Step 2 – Create the first ‘heart’

Take your lighter red nail polish and draw two curved lines starting halfway through the nail and finishing at the tip. Fill in the shape and keep going over the shape until you’re happy with a symmetrical shape that mimics the top part of a classic heart.

Step 3 – Create the second ‘heart’

Once your first shape has completely dried, create the second ‘heart’ by using the darker red. Leave a small gap between the first and the second heart. After your design is complete and dried, finish with a coating of clear nail polish to keep the chips at bay (well, at least until Feb 14^th!)
