How To Paint Hearts On Nails

We’re about to toss a bunch of beautiful heart nails in your face, and we know that it would be cruel to do so without at least telling you how to paint hearts on nails. Therefore, we have the perfect little tutorial on how to paint some hearts, so after some practice, you can be a heart painting pro.

To create heart-shaped nail art, you’ll need the following tools:

  5. Nail Polish Brush
  6. Nail Art Brush (Optional)

Step #1

Shape nails to the desired length, file rough edges and gently push back cuticles for a clean canvas.

Step #3

Select your favorite color – classic red for romance, or experiment with vibrant or glittery shades.

Step #5

Step #6

Create hearts on every nail, experimenting with sizes and angles for a unique look. Different sides nail art brushes will help you create different sizes of hearts.

White Nails With Heart

Want to elevate an already clean-looking manicure? Perfect, because these white nails with hearts are super minimalist, but the little black hearts scattered across them will make your heart pitter-patter.

Heart Tip Nails

The heart-tip nails are a sight to be seen. One of our favorite things about adding tips to your nails is obviously the length but the freedom you get when choosing the shape. You can go for square, you could go for round, you could go for almond, the options are endless! Plus, when you add length to your claws, there is so much more room for fun, and you can experiment with different designs.

If all this sounds super fun and interesting, we want you to be even more equipped with knowledge on tip extensions. We have compiled a chart of tip extensions’ pros and cons so you can decide whether these will work for you or not.

Plus, they are hard to see at first, so the little white hearts are kind of like a party trick.

Zohna Tip

White is a nail polish shade that over time is the first to change color. That said, you can prevent this with a super strong top coat. Don't forget the top coat, it's more important than you'd think, trust us!

White Nails With Black Hearts

Do you have a black heart? Great, cause you’re going to really resonate with these white nails with black hearts.

  2. Once dry, use a small brush or a toothpick to draw a heart shape in pink at the center of each nail, except for the middle finger on each hand.
  3. You can keep it minimalistic with one heart per nail or create a romantic design with multiple hearts.
  4. Once you are done with your hearts, paint each middle finger a silver color for some added intrigue.
  5. Finish it off with a glossy top coat.

Pink Nails With Red Heart
