form a heart

Would you use the verb form
I was looking for picture of hearts and saw this, would you say She is forming a heart with her fingers. She is making a heart with her fingers.

"with her fingers" seems a bit misleading; actually it is her fingernails. I would probably say "She is making a heart shape with her fingernails", but it is hard to visualise what this means unless you know that she has grossly long and curved fingernails. If the reader can't see the photograph then I think you would have to explain that.
