Characteristic of romantic design
A cute manicure with hearts on the nails looks good for young ladies. He gives the image innocence, mischief and romance.

You can choose a laconic daytime option by decorating only two nails with an accent pattern. Usually the most luxurious decor is located on the ring finger. Everyday design can be done not only with the help of symbolic hearts. A spectacular trend of the new seasons - lettering in a love style. The phrases “I love you”, “Kiss”, “Amour”, “Yes”, “True love” and other themed lettering support the heart pattern. This combination makes the main drawing less childish and adds style to the manicure in nude tones.

A drawing can be not only cute, but also daring. Passion and sensuality embody manicure in red and scarlet tones. To decorate it, you can draw small flying black hearts. Neon pink or scarlet hearts made with gloss on a black matte background will also look interesting.

Or you can design just a couple of fingers with funny characters in addition to the main drawing in the form of hearts.
The image of cupids, doves and any other love symbolism is perfect for a design with hearts. The romantic pattern looks especially good on short round nails and regular oval nails.

A good idea for an original French manicure is to move the light strip along the edge closer to the middle of the nail. At the same time, an even horizontal stripe of white or milky shade is drawn on the main coating of natural color. One small heart of the same color as the stripe is drawn on it.
When decorating a manicure with hearts, it is worth remembering several important rules. Nail design can create the main accent of your look or emphasize it. Therefore, to create the effect of tenderness and innocence, it is better to use a couple of light shades. Passionate manicure is good in the brightest colors. The fewer details on the nail plate, the more saturated the color of the coating you can choose. A large number of hearts implies drawing in unobtrusive colors.
Rhinestones are very often and in large quantities used when drawing a pattern with hearts. Stones can fill the heart pattern completely or only the edge of the figure. You can use many of the smallest hearts and "drown" them in a dry coating.
An interesting option is obtained if you include a drawing with hearts in an interesting composition. So you can draw several multi-colored symbols of love and draw strings to them. You will get balloons that will tell about your light and bright feelings. You can make flower heads from hearts.
Any alternative to the classic drawing will look harmonious if you choose the right color scheme.
Color matching tips
Classics for manicure with hearts are delicate pink and all shades of scarlet. You can use them with other matching colors, depending on what image you want to demonstrate to others.
Lightness and tenderness will be present in the drawing of pastel colors. In this case, you can use both a smooth and a matte finish, with which this manicure will look especially expensive. Beige, cream, white, unripe plum, pearl and silver metallic will help you create a pattern for every day.
Another effect is the use of scarlet, burgundy, red, wine or the popular Marsala shade. They are most often used in combination with black. In order not to get the femme fatale effect, you should use the dark pigment very carefully. They can draw outlines or the smallest details and curls.
The combination of black with nude and light coffee shades gives an unusual effect. These marigolds look very tasty and sexy. The recipe for the perfect manicure here is the same as when using black and red. We paint with black only thin stripes or graceful neat details.
Drawing methods
To draw hearts on your nails, you can use a wide variety of tools to your liking. First of all, the process should be as convenient as possible, and the image should be neat. Therefore, the master himself gives priority in favor of a brush, dots or an ordinary toothpick. Beginners usually choose the easiest and quickest solution for stamping or decals. It should be remembered that such express options cannot last long on nails.
Brush
Drawing with a brush is the most laborious to carry out. This technique is usually used by professionals with a "full" hand. For beginners, stencils, which can be bought ready-made or made on their own from special paper or film, will help to execute a beautiful and neat drawing.
The advantage of painting with a brush is the ability to draw the most unexpected fantasy patterns. They can be rounded or chiseled, graceful or in the Gothic style, consist of dots or monograms, etc.
To complete the design, you will need brushes of different sizes and bristle thicknesses.
Stickers
Applying stickers is the easiest way to create a delicate, neat heart design. In this case, there are two options for covering the nail plate. You can choose a sticker that will completely cover the nail. At the same time, the drawing may contain not only hearts, but also an image of other techniques: ombre, 3D design, raindrops, etc. Another option is to stick small hearts separately in the required quantity and directions on the main tone of your manicure. After completing the pattern in this way, it is necessary to secure it on top with a thick transparent topcoat.
Dots
When using dots, the most accurate hearts are obtained, especially if you need to make an image of a miniature size. To do this, dots are dipped in pigment, collecting not too much of it. We put a point on the nail with the tip. A second point is placed next to it in parallel. Then, straight lines are drawn from both points at an acute angle towards each other. Thus, a heart ornament is obtained.
Stamping
Stamping combines the advantages of dots and stickers.The pattern turns out to be quite persistent and at the same time does not require a lot of time for its creation. You just need to choose a die - a plate of the desired shape, and apply a small amount of a thick coating, contrasting to the main base, on it. An impression is made on each finger or only on accent nails. Above, the drawing is strengthened with a transparent finish. The main disadvantage of this method is the monotony of the drawings and the inability to create an original design.
Coating technique step by step
To translate your ideas into a neat manicure, first of all, you should take care of the grooming and general condition of your nails and hands. The old coating must be carefully removed. For hands and nails, a nourishing bath is made and a cream or special agent is applied to them. The nails are shaped to the desired shape and trimmed to the desired length. The cuticle should be removed in any usual way. After that, be sure to apply a transparent, liquid, quick-drying base in one thin layer. Then you can start manicure using one of the selected methods.
A classic jacket with hearts looks harmonious and gentle.

We put three points on the nail close to each other, forming a triangle, and connect them. It turns out small black hearts. They can be arranged in any order over the area of the nail plate.
- Dry the coating in air or using a lamp.
Passionate red manicure will help create a combination with black, glitter and rhinestones.
- Cover the nails on the thumbs with a shade of scarlet, burgundy or red and leave to dry.

We remove the auxiliary figure and glue rhinestones of transparent, black or golden color along the contour of the remaining transparent space in the form of a heart.
- Cover the middle finger with the same color as the thumb. You can decorate the lunula on it with rhinestones.
- We pay special attention to the ring finger. In terms of decoration, this will be the most important accent nail. Cover it with the same red tone and dry well. After that, we make a drawing on it in black in the form of medium-sized hearts with a dots or any convenient tool.
