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.
