Nude nails are going to be extremely popular come fall, but backstage at Rebecca Minkoff, Haven Spa's nail team put a fresh spin on the trend. "We wanted the look to be neutral but also fun and different," said Anne Lazovik, general manager at Haven. "So we painted a double stripe along the top of a taupe manicure." They used Essie Jazz as the base and then Midnight Cami and Wrapped in Rubies on the tips. To do this at home, Lazovik suggests painting a wide stripe first then layering a thinner stripe just on the edge. But be warned: "Creating two perfectly straight and identical stripes isn't easy," says Lazovik.
Don't care for the crystals. They might be fine for a couple hrs. but they would snag on everything. To make polka dots, I bought tools that you just dap into the polish. They were very cheap. You can also use the tip of a pencil point that is rounded. Don't use a freshly sharpened pencil. It works and is free.

Interesting ideas; some are a tad outrageous for me, but they are charming.

Very much like the obmre! Bllack goes with everything and is very sleek, and if all black it too much you can always add some gold sparkels!
