Rainbow Stripes and Hearts

Wow!  This manicure was so easy, so much fun, and garnered loads of compliments.  I hated to take it off after a week and I will certainly do this one again.  I began with a base coat of white and added the two side stripes on each nail of yellow, pink, green, and purplely blue.  When I painted those colors I used a thin coat and somewhat unevenly so that a bit of the white would show through like whitewashing.  I liked the effect.  Then I added the center stripe of either orange or light blue.  Next using a dotting tool to create my hearts.  I did this by placing two small dots in a row on the nail and then pulling each of them diagonally to meet at the bottom. Instant hearts!
