Through the Windowpane
Bibhu Mohapatra's spring/summer line was full of intricate patterns and linear formations, so it's only fitting the nails were just as graphic. Alternating white lines contrasted with black lines striped across the thumbnail.
The Technique:
Edwards used Broadway Nails Impress Press-On Manicure in So, So Stellar for the blush-colored base (a blush-toned nail polish also works if you're not a fan of press-on nails). Next, Edwards used Kiss Nail Artist Paint in white to paint two parallel stripes on opposite sides of each other, one line across the bottom, two across the top, and two sets of diagonal lines. But basically, you can create any striped design you'd like to get the same effect.

Denim Blues
Two-toned denim blue nails looked gorgeously subtle in contrast with the bright yellow eye makeup at Angel Sanchez. We'll be recreating this look with two hues of every color in our collection.
The Technique:
Edwards created a custom blend of Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer in Varsity Jacket Blues and Morgan Taylor Make It Last clear topcoat to create the base of this nail art look. Next, Edwards painted a swoosh of Morgan Taylor's Who-Dini line close to the cuticle and up the outside edge of the nail. Finish with Morgan Taylor Need For Speed for high-shine.
Us trend spotters go back and forth on whether nail art is in or out, and whether it should be minimalist or bold and graphic.
