Nail Art Monday Nr.10 - Hearts ♥

Hello, my dear readers!
There are now 203 of you! I can´t believe it :D I´m doing this since April and I never would have thought I´d have so many readers by now ... wow :) I thank each and every one of you, for reading my posts, sharing them, comment on them :) I love what I do and I love it even more, when I see that other people appreciate it ;)

This week on PAA, the theme was "hearts", and there couldn´t have been a better theme to show my readers some love :)
This was inspired by a technique I saw once on My Simple Little Pleasures, but I don´t know which post it was. It´s very easy and quick to do, but the effect is awesome. :) 
I used: Essence - Back to the 50´s (red) and Nail Collection Matte Nr. 4 (white). The light was not the best today, otherwise I would have done a swatch 
of the red polish :)
Have you ever tried this technique before ? :) Let me know!

Have a nice evening ♥

  8. @Anutka: Thanks! :D Try it soon, you´ll love it ;)

    @Sonoma Bento: Thank you! Well, I applied a thick coat of red, waited only a few seconds, then placed the white dots and immediately run through it with a nail art brush :)

  13. I've tried to do this before after seeing the post from My Simple Little Pleasures, but every time I did it, it looked nothing like hearts and I had balding from the top of the heart. :( Any tips for how you got yours to look like hearts?

  14. well, make sure that the base color is still wet! apply the second color in big dots and use a nail art brush to drag through the dots. You know the thin and long nail art brushes? it´s a lot easier than using a dotting tool, needle etc.
    I hope I could help :)
