Start out by prepping and filing your nails into shape with a nail file and cuticle pusher. Then, apply a base coat (and cure when using gel). If you’re using gel, make sure to etch the nail plate and wipe them free of dust- to make sure your gel mani lasts.

Using a red polish, start by painting four of your nails, leaving the index finger clear. Cure for 60 seconds.

With a small detailer brush and your red polish, start by drawing the outline of a heart. Then fill in the outer edge of your nail, so that the heart is left clear on your nail. Cure this for 60 seconds.
