Nail Tutorial: Silver Hearts

Hello lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, I have been super busy with work and other things! But I am back with a quick, simple and super cute nail tutorial for you! I am sorry for the lack of quality in the pictures, but I only have my iPhone 5s to take pictures with :(.

You will need 3 polishes for this nail art; a base colour, heart glitter and a top coat. As I work at Models Own, I am required to use their polishes, but you can use any polish you like!

Step One
First of all, paint a clear base coat on your nails. This helps to prevent any stains that you could get from the nail polish. Once that is dry, then apply your base colour. To get a solid pigmented colour, I would recommend two coats, depending on how thick your chosen polish is.



Step Two
You don't want your base colour to completely dry before you apply the hearts. If your polish is a bit wet, this helps the hearts to stick on better and become secure. On a white piece of paper, pour out some of the glitter hearts. Using the brush supplied, spread out the hearts so it is easier to pick up.


Step Three
Using a cuticle stick, use the flat end to pick up one heart at a time. Then firmly press the heart on to the nail, making sure all sides are stuck down thoroughly. Continue this process along all nails, spacing out the hearts as per your own preference. Once you are done with placing the hearts, apply a top coat to add a super shiny look and you are done! :)
