Design originally created using GELLUX products.

Step 1

Prep the nails. File to shape, push back the cuticle and buff the nail plate. Prep nails for gel application and apply two coats of a pink builder gel for the base, curing between each layer.

Step 2

Using a liner art brush, apply a cherry gel polish, creating a swirl design. Cure.

Step 3

For the second swirl, take a thinner liner art brush and apply a hot pink gel polish shade, making the swirls different thicknesses.

Step 4

For the third swirl, following the same shape, use a lighter pink gel polish. Cure.

Step 5

For the fourth swirl, apply another pink gel polish colour of your choosing. Cure.

Step 6

Use a final pink gel polish colour to fill in the gap next to the swirls, and cure.

Step 7

Apply a white gel polish in a rectangular shape, to form the envelope. Cure.

Step 8

Use a black gel polish to outline the envelope. Cure.

Step 9

Using a dotting tool and one of the pink gel polish hues previously used, apply two dots close together near the edge of the envelope. Then, use a thin art liner brush to drag the dots down, creating a tiny heart. Cure.
