Sugar Heart Nails!

I wish I had done a step-by-step of this, instead of just taking pictures when it was done.
Inspired by something I saw on tumblr a while ago.


But how I did it: First basecoat.  Always basecoat, especially if you're using dark colours.  I painted my nails black last year without using a basecoat, and I'm still growing the stains out.  Second, I used a black nail art pen to draw heart outlines.  Didn't panic if they got a bit messy.  Third, used the pastel colours to fill in the outlines.  Fourth, glitter over pastel.  Fifth, topcoat.  That's it.  I like that it came out decently on both hands this time.  :3  It'll probably have all chipped off (or more like I will have peeled it off) by Thursday, but I'm waiting on sort of a valentines day "lucky pack" from Julep (the first time I've ordered nail polish online) and might get it by then too.  :3
