I have seen tons of different conversation heart nails and I knew I wanted to do a set as well when I started thinking about my V day designs. I did stray a bit from the official color scheme of the candies. Sweethearts always have red printing on them and that is what all the other designs had, so to be different I went with black so I could outline them and give the candies a little more depth and detail. I painted this design on my acrylics so I did not have to use polish, I thought it would be a waste because I was using so much acrylic paint so all I did was paint a thick even layer of base coat. For the hearts I painted all the outlines first, then was the fun part I had to fill in all the colors. It was like painting in a tiny coloring book. After that I added in the messages using my striping paint. I am super stocked with how these turned out, I think they could be one of my favorites so far.
Polish: just China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
