Beautiful Hearts
Making a heart on your nails is simple if you know the trick. You can make one heart on an accent finger or place hearts all over your nails. First, you'll need a toothpick and your favorite top coat. Dip the end of the toothpick into the polish. Place two dots next to each other for the top of the heart. Drag each dot down to a point between them so they meet at the bottom. It's that easy to make a simple heart with nail polish.

For this nail polish design, you'll need a few supplies. You'll need more than one color of polish, a nail polish thinner and a splatter brush. Apply the base coat. White or black is a good base color to really let those splatters pop. On a plastic plate, pour out a touch of each color and add a dollop of the nail polish thinner. Mix it up, so it's thin enough to splatter on your nails. Using one color at a time, splash thin lines and dots onto your nails until you're satisfied with the effect. Apply a clear top coat to finish.
