The nails at Rebecca Minkoff's New York Fashion week runway show were pure artistry in a lightwashed messy-on-purpose way that fashion experts pull off so well.
The Technique:
The true technique here -- don't be afraid if it doesn't look perfect. Essie manicurist Michelle Saunders started by applying Essie Nail Polish in Blanc for a bright base. Next, beginning at the nail bed, apply one coat of Essie's Bikini So Teeny to half of the nail. On the other half of the nail, apply one coat of Turquoise and Caicos (clearly a must-have shade for spring if you don't already have the cult favorite). Allow the two shades to overlap each other slightly. Then dip a striping brush in the shade Lollipop and draw a thin horizontal line between the two shades. Note: this needs to be done when the polish is still wet to get that bleeding color look.) Finally, blend Essie Good to Go Top Coat over the polishes, sweeping the brush toward the tip of your nail.
