Nail It This Season

Jenny Packham

Get the look by applying 2 coats of sheer pink polish and then dropping 1 dot of coral lacquer on every nail. Dot a gold glitter polish in the center of each coral circle and then add 1 more drop on each nail. Seal with a topcoat, and you're good to go.

To get the look, start with a grayish purple polish and follow with a matte coat. Finish with a metallic purple square in the middle of each nail. Skip the topcoat to keep the contrast between both polishes.

Delpozo

After applying a base coat to all nails, follow with a matte nail polish and paint a thin stripe down the center with a metallic gold lacquer. Go over the same stripe with a gold glitter to give it extra shine.

Suno

For this mani, apply a clear base coat to clean nails, and let them dry completely. With a white polish and a thin striping brush, create a half circle around the base of the nails. Then starting at the center, create a straight line down to the tip of the nail.

Start with a base coat and an opaque black polish. To get the smoky look, go over the black with a transparent, milky white polish and top with a shiny topcoat.
