You Will Need (5 things)

  • Scissors
  • Nail File
  • Scotch Tape
  • Nail Stickers
  • Nail Polish

Steps (3 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather materials. I went with 2 different color nail polishes and a statement nail sticker.

  2. 2

    For the nail polish strips, I decided which fingers I wanted them to be and then followed the instructions.

    For the polished nails, I used a base coat and top coat with two layers of polish sandwiched between. I didn't want the manicure to look symmetrical so I alternated the fingers I painted the pink and silver polish on.

  3. 3

    To create the heart design on my nails, I took a piece of tape, folded it in half, and then cut the heart shape out. I found that if you fold over the ends of the tape, it made it easier to separate after cutting.

    After I created my heart stencils, I placed the tape over my dried nails and added two coats of pink over it then quickly removed the tape. Repeat on more nails as desired! I finished by adding the topcoat to all my nails and voila!

    Of course, if you wish to recreate this, go with colors of your choice!
