Products & tools

• Regular air-dry polish
• Base coat and top coat
• Nail file
• Fine nail-art brush for painted details

Steps

1. Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
2. Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
3. Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
4. On a dry base, use a fine nail-art brush and a little contrasting regular polish to sketch the tip boundary shown in the reference. Work from both sides toward the center, then fill only the tip. Practice on a spare swatch first.
5. Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

• Position the two red lobes symmetrically around the almond point so each tip reads as a heart rather than a deep V.
• Red heart French. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

• Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
