DIY Heart Nail
Embraceable Lace Giveaway//closed
Well, it’s valentines day. And I’m sick at home with a cold.
So I thought I would paint a heart on my nail.
My nails are Shellac-ed with Romanitque by CND.
*pardon my dry hands. It’s winter.
Grab a pink polish, like Flirt (how appropriate) by Essie, and a few toothpicks.
Dip a toothpick in the polish and begin outlining the heart. “Pull” the polish toward the center of the heart by dragging your toothpick inward. Don’t worry if it’s uneven–you can add a drop of fresh polish right on top of the center to smooth it out at the end.
(I’m showing this on a tissue but you do this on your actual nail)
*less is more here. You can always add more color, but its hard to work with big globs of color.
Use a clean toothpick to push in any color that seeps out. Less is more!
Once the heart is absolutely completely dry, coat with a layer of top coat.
Happy Valentines Day!

You are so cute, feel better soon 🙂
Very cute! ( you need some baby oil on those dry winter hands, works great)
Very cute! Hope you feel better soon!
Did my nails in Essie’s Flirt last night 🙂
Adorable!!! Happy Valentines day:)
So cute!! Does polish remover damage the shellac manicure?
The lip butters are definitely amazing. If you order from Ulta.com they have a huge selection of colors. I have a darker skintone so my favorites are fig jam, red velvet and candy apple.
Very cute, I am going to try this and I know my daughter will definately try!
Feel better and Happy Valentines Day
Very Cute!

Congrats!
The heart is so cute !!! You know…. I am a nurse and battle dry hands, cuticles and nails year round. Mine look exactly like your (or worse) year round from all the harsh cleansers and multiple hand washing. I swear by Sally Hansen Cuticle Massage Cream. I use it nightly faithfully and massage a dab into each finger. It’s this nice peachy smell and color… wonderful stuff !!! Then I use… are you ready… foot cream on my hands. Yes, that really thick stuff that is meant to soften your feet. It works so amazing on my hands at night ! Love your ideas.
this. is. so. clever.
i love your shellac, too.
Very cool idea! I have shellac french mani – woud look great with a little red heart!
Feel better soon!
I like the heart! Very festive!

Oh my gosh that is adorable! I love it!
I did the same thing the other day. I used a piece of tape to make a stencil. Just fold the tape in half sticky side out, cut your heart, stick to your nail, paint and remove. Much easier. 🙂
I like her Facebook page (:

Thank you for such a cute idea! While I was waiting on my husband so we could go out to dinner, I ran into the bathroom and did this to my ring fingernail. So cute!

You always have great ideas keep up the good work!
I get my nails shellac-ed and I can’t find the right color at my salon. Did you buy your polish somewhere or have it done in the salon?
Where can you go to get your nails shellaced, and what is the process? I have short fingernails so i didnt know ifit could be done…
