Chain of hearts

Salon owner and nail artist, Tania Biddle, created this lovely Valentine’s Day-inspired design

Step 1

Apply a Base Layer, according to nail plate analysis. Cure. Apply one layer of a transparent nude colour. For this design I used Anthea from EVO. Cure and wipe to remove the sticky residue

Step 2

Dip a Dotting Tool into a colour gel and place dots down the centre of the nail. Do not cure.

Step 3

Repeat using three various colour gels. Place the dots next to each other with a small space in between. Do not cure.

Step 4

Use a nail art brush and drag the tip of the brush through the wet gel dots, starting at the cuticle outline and ending at the free edge. Drag the brush in a single stroke. For this design I used the Upper Arch Brush from Bio Sculpture. Cure.

Step 5

Use a Dotting Tool and place small white dots on either side of the chain of hearts design. Cure.

Step 6

End with a Top Coat. Cure and cleanse.

For this design I used a combination of colour gels, treatment gels and the Upper Arch Brush from Bio Sculpture.

Tania Biddle is the owner and founder of the award-winning Plush Nails and Beauty in Roodpoort. She is also head of education for Bio Sculpture.
