I recommend to do this nail by nail, so the scotch stays as less possible on each nail. Add a generous layer of blue polish and remove as soon as you've painted your nail, stripe by stripe, carefully.

Once your nails are completely dry. You can draw hearts on each one with the bamboo skewer. I do some sort of "V" letter, start with the left side, up to down.

Step 8 of 9
Then join the right side of the "V" and fill in the heart. Since the heart is not actually flat, you really need to wait a long time for it to dry out. But it's totally worth it!

You could apply a bit of the white here again to seal the edges of the tape before you apply the black. That will give you sharper lines in the end.
