Heart Fishtails Design
Start by painting your nails with LDS D73 #Girlboss, and then paint two arches from the outer edges of your nails, so that they meet in the middle. Repeat with different colors until your nail is filled.

Heart on Your Sleeve and Nails
Coat all four nails with LDS D42 So Marilyn except for the ring finger nail because we will leave it nude by coating it with LDS D53 Hello, Gorgeous. Then create a small heart shape on the side of the nude nail for a touch of whimsy. If you want to show off your sweet side in an exciting way, these are the perfect nails for you.

Lady in Red Sparkles
Glitter is an easy way to elevate a plain manicure. Keep it all in the same color family for a dynamic red nail. LDS D23 Heat of the Moment and LDS D93 Highlight of my life will make a great choice for that ultra-red kick.

Wild Child
We love a good heart print. Paint against a shiny red background to make it really pop. LDS D163 A Thousand Kisses or LDS D137 My Heart’s on fire will give you the red sparkle that you are looking for and more. Don’t forget to paint your hearts with equally bright shade of yellow for a funky look.
