Use Essie Nail Polish in Stencil Me In on the left side of the nail to create a "V" at the cuticle. Paint only half of the nail.

Apply Essie Nail Polish in In It To Wyn It to the right side of the nail -- following the same pattern as the opposite side for a clean, symmetrical look.

Finish the nail design and lock in your stunning nail art with Essie's Good to Go Top Coat. Now all that's left to do is soak in the last few days of summer (preferably with a refreshing cocktail in your pretty hand).
