[How-To] Tie-Dye Love Heart Nail Design

Swirling 60’s Colorful Nail Art

Add some hippie vibes on your nails with this easy step by step tutorial. You don’t have to buy hundreds of colors to art-ify your nails. With the help of acrylic paints, you’ll surely rock this 60’s hit!

What you’ll need:

• white nail polish – China Glaze White on White
• red, blue, violet and white acrylic paints – Reeves Acrylic Paint Set
• heart shape nail vinyl – Heart Vinyls Twinkled T
• thin brush
• top coat – HK Girl Top Coat
• makeup brush
• nail polish remover

Note: Clean and groom your nails first and always apply base coat before putting any nail polish.

Now, Let’s get started!

Step 1: Apply your base coat.

Apply a white nail polish as for your base color and follow with a top coat to protect it from the vinyl later on.

Step 2 : Prepare your acrylic paint

Put a tiny amount of each color of the acrylic paints on a piece of paper and mix each color with a white acrylic paint to soften the hues.

Step 3: Tie Dye Effect

Using the mixed blue and white acrylic paints with a thin brush, draw a swirling line for your guide on doing the tie-dye effect. Make some dashes out from the swirling line you just made. Repeat making dashes with the remaining colors.

Then, dab few darker purple color to the other to make a legit effect of a tie dye effect.

Step 4: Heart Tie Dye

For your ring fingernail — Put on the heart-shaped nail vinyl gently on your nail. Then start to paint the same swirling line effect and finish it with the dashes to achieve the same tie dye effect.

Don’t forget to apply a top coat once dried and clean up for some excess using a makeup brush and nail polish remover.

And that’s it!

This just gives you all the hippie vibrancy! Perfect for a 60’s themed party!
