Black Nail Heart Design

Supplies:

  • Black nail polish
  • Liner brush
  • Angled brush
  • Dotting tool like bobby pin, pencil, or toothpick

Instructions:

Step 1: For the negative space heart, start off by painting on the first half part of the heart with a liner brush. Doesn’t matter if it’s a little messy, an angled brush can clean that up later. Then, paint on the other half of the heart.

Step 2: With the bottle brush, paint on the bottom part of the outside part of the heart.

Step 3: Then use the liner brush to fill in the rest of the top outside part of the heart. And use an angled brush to clean if necessary.

Step 4: Use a bobby pin, dull pencil, or toothpick (anything around the house) to dot two dots right next to each other.

Step 6: Use a liner brush to paint on the bottom part of one side of the heart.

Step 7: Do the same for the other side of the heart. Use an angled brush to clean wherever necessary.
