What's our secret sauce to creating flawless love heart nail art time and time again? It's our Heart Confetti No Wipe Top Coat!
We're all for making things easier when it comes to creating cute nails, and heart nail art is certainly at the top of our list. Being able to achieve salon-quality nail art without leaving the house is a godsend – and one that we're serving to you on a sparkly platter with this beautiful top coat.
In fact, it's proven to be our biggest single-product launch EVER! If that doesn't speak for itself, we don't know what does.
Heart Nail Art Secret Revealed: Our Heart Confetti No Wipe Top Coat
We've really put all our heart into creating this nail confetti top coat.
Our Heart Confetti No Wipe Top Coat is an easy-to-apply clear gel nail polish with tiny little heart pieces scattered throughout for an added touch of cuteness.
Not only will this top coat polish protect your mani from chips and scratches, but it'll also make sure that no matter what style of nails you go for, there's always an extra bit of love thrown in.
Once you cure the top coat under our LED curing lamp, your oh-so-sweet mani will last up to 3 weeks!
We think this is the perfect addition for creating your Valentine's Day nails, making it super easy to achieve the ideal heart nail art. But we're definitely going to be using this all year round.
What's the Difference Between a 'No Wipe' Top Coat & a Regular Top Coat?
We have two types of top coat gel polish here at Mylee – a No Wipe Top Coat and a regular Top Coat. Both are designed to ensure your mani lasts as long as possible and looks good for longer. But the difference between the two is really in the name.
A regular top coat gel polish will leave a slightly tacky feel to your nails after applying. This is because of the gel formula. We recommend using a Lint-Free Nail Wipe with Prep & Wipe Solution to remove the tackiness, which will leave your nails feeling smooth and glossy.
A No Wipe Top Coat requires no wiping at all. After curing your nails under our Pro LED Lamp, they'll be left feeling super smooth, with no tackiness whatsoever!
Both top coats will leave you with the same salon-worthy results as with any of our Gel Polish, but with a No Wipe Top Coat, you won't have to worry about wiping off the tackiness. Nonetheless, we always recommend washing your hands after finishing your mani, no matter what top coat you’ve used.
Super Simple Heart Nail Art Designs & Ideas
As with any top coat, the Mylee Heart Confetti No Wipe Top Coat is super easy to apply, and it makes creating nail art heart designs a breeze.
We've pulled together some of our most-loved heart nail art designs using this incredible gel bottle to give you some inspiration:
Top Tip: Use a dotting tool or the brush in the bottle to nudge your heart confetti pieces for the perfect placement. |
Nude Pink Nail Art Hearts
For super simple and cute nails, why not just use the Heart Nail Confetti Top Coat by itself on your natural nails? If you like to keep things minimal, this is the perfect look.
Here, we've applied a nude gel polish to add a healthy glow to your nails, or you could keep things au naturel and let the confetti do the talking with a simple Base Coat.
Here's how to create the look…
Step 1) Apply a layer of Base Coat to your nails, curing under your Mylee LED Lamp for 30 seconds.
Step 2) Then, apply your chosen nude gel polish – we recommend our XOXO shade like we've used above. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step 3) Paint on your layer of Heart Confetti Top Coat. You could use the Dotting Tool to move around and position the heart nail confetti pieces if you like.
Step 4) Cure your top coat for 30 seconds.
French Tips x Heart Nail Art
What better pairing for this Heart Nail Confetti Top Coat than with a pink or red gel polish? It's a match made in heaven! We've also combined a classic French tip design into this look too.
Whether you're looking for Valentine's Day nail inspo or love a pretty mani, the combination of red or pink gel polish and heart nail confetti is perfect for creating super easy nails.
Want to recreate the look? Here's how...
Step 1) Begin by applying your layer of Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds under our LED Lamp.
Step 2) Apply your favourite red or pink gel polish in a French tip (we love French Cancan for a classic red or Dragonfruit for a fun hot pink). Cure for 30 seconds.
Step 3) Apply a layer of Heart Confetti Top Coat and use a Dotting Tool to help manoeuvre the pieces into place if desired.
Step 4) Cure for a final 30 seconds.
Soft Pink Heart Nail Design
A soft pink gel colour is a super sweet pairing with our Heart Confetti Top Coat, and our Brand Ambassador @rubypolish has shown us how it's done.
She's combined our cute top coat with our Blush Builder Gel and pastel pink gel colour to create a truly romantic look.
Here's how she created the look…
Step 1) After prepping your nails, apply a Base Coat and cure for 30 seconds under our LED Lamp.
Step 2) Glide our Builder Gel in Blush onto your cured coat (if you want to extend the length of your nails, read our top Builder Gel tips). Cure for 60 seconds.
Step 3) Dip a nail art brush into the pastel pink shade (we recommend Primrose Hill), or use our Silicone Nail Stamper, and create the French tips. Cure for 30 seconds.
Step 4) Apply a layer of Heart Confetti No Wipe Top Coat and cure for 30 seconds.

FAQs
Do you need to cure No Wipe Top Coat?
Yes, a No Wipe Top Coat needs to be cured just like any other gel polish. You can cure a No Wipe Top Coat by placing your hands under our Pro LED Lamp for 30 seconds or a UV lamp for 60 seconds.
How do you apply confetti to nails?
When you apply loose confetti to your nails, you will need to use a dotting tool or tweezers to help manoeuvre the pieces into place. Sprinkle the confetti on top of your gel polish and encapsulate with a layer of top coat.
Or, you could use a gel polish that contains confetti if you want to make things a bit simpler, like our Heart Confetti No Wipe Top Coat.
How do you create heart nail art using a nail brush?
Dip a dotting tool into your chosen gel colour and paint two dots next to each other on your nail. Then, take an ultra-fine nail art brush and lightly dip it into the same polish. Connect the two dots together by creating a triangle shape. You can round off and perfect the heart with the brush until you're happy with your design.
Or, if you have a steady hand, you can skip the dotting tool entirely and go straight for the nail art brush.
