- For the ring finger, apply two coats of gold glitter polish.

Create the heart designs.
- Using a small detail brush, paint small hearts in red or white on each nail.
- Use a dotting tool to perfect the heart shapes if necessary.

Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Use a steady hand or rest your working hand on a flat surface for precise designs.
Experiment with different sizes of hearts to add variety to your nail art.
Consider using nail stickers for the hearts if freehand painting is challenging.
