Golden Hearts Valentine Tutorial

Hey Guys,
It's almost that time of year again....Valentines! Its just around the corner so get your nails ready for that special someone or just for yourself to admire ^^. This one is pretty simple so lets get started!
This is what we will be working on today. I know all the usual tutorials use pink and red but this design gives off a more mature feel by using a maroon/purple color.
Supplies needed: Gold Acrylic paint, Essie's 'Carry On' and any dotting tool you own.
start off with base coat; especially when using a darker polish, you don't want your nails to stain.
Paint on 2 coats of polish.
Paint on one heart on the ring finger by dabbing with the dotting tool.
I call it "dab-and-drag" lol
Add some more hearts going in different directions.
Fill up the nail with hearts like a jigsaw puzzle.
Next work on your thumb. Start off the same way.
Add some more.
and fill it up. show some hearts poking out the side of your nail; you can just draw the tip or sides of the heart as well.
Put on the top coat to give it more shine and lock in the acrylic paint.
and we're done! A quick and simple tutorial not only for Valentines day!

Thanks for reading, Comment below and keep following for more updates!
