Heart nail art just isn't right

[ProperPrincess]

I'm off out tonight and really want this type of nail art. But I want a colour not just the tips. When I go to tidy up my heart the base polish comes off :-(

I usually use shellac but I want specific colour so am using polish.

Am I being totally thick and forgetting something x

Sorry here's a picture of what I love xx

Maybe use Shellac as your base colour (use mica/eyeshadow/additives/layering to create a specific colour) then polish for the heart tips? That way you can tidy the lines without the base colour coming off.

Or, use a striping brush to create the shape of the heart and "fill it in" with the desired colour. I think we've been spoilt by the fact that we can play about with Shellac... that's quite an easy shape to create with a normal polish brush and a little practise would go a long way.

I agree, but I would do the whole nail in Shellac (if you have these products), then you can tidy the lines up to your hearts (lol) content without the worry of removing the base colour.

Ill keep practising! I think the gel nails made it harder to paint. A good friend has been practising on me. I had to file them down bless her but from a distance they look ok x
