Instructions

  1. Small halfhearts7

    Start off with two coats of your base colour. I used OPI My Very First Knockwurst.

  2. Small halfhearts8

    Using the nail art brush, paint a line going straight down the centre of your nail. Don't worry if it isn't perfect ! For this I used OPI Casino Royale.

  3. Small halfhearts9

    Now, with the same colour, paint the outline of your heart, using the central line as a guide so that it can be roughly symmetrical. There's still no need to worry about it looking a bit lopsided !

  4. Small halfhearts010

    Fill in one side of the heart in the same colour, and smooth out the edges to make the lines look crisper.

  5. Small halfhearts011

    Next fill in the opposite side of the outline of the heart. At this point, if needed, you can use your base colour to sort out any kinks to make the shape more even.

    Top-coat it, and there you go !
