Cute heart and glitter nails

A really cute style for short nails and really easy;
 
The heart was an afterthought (like most of my designs!). I didn't use a particular tool but the end of the polish brush! A nail art brush would have made a more accurate heart but this one works. 

Products used; 

Black polish - 2true
Nude polish - e.l.f
Glitter - eBay

Pink shellac mani

While I am growing my nails and trying to avoid wearing damamging falsies, here is another one of my attempts at using at home Shellac products. The first layer is looking good, if not slightly transparent.

Please excuse my claw;
 

The second layer is looking a lot better and a greater colour pay off. I love the shine of shellac!
 
 
 
On the last one the colour looks great but you can still see where I haven't quite sealed the edges, 
meaning the polish didn't last as long as it could!
 
 
 Practice makes perfect so I'll keep trying!
