Now trending: Nautical nails

A new week needs new nails! This simple twist on sailing stripes was designed using Essie shades by celebrity manicurist Michelle Saunders, who was inspired by the coast of France. Give this fun and easy nautical look a try!

Shades you’ll need:

- Fiji

- Midnight Cami

1. Paint nails with two coats of Fiji.

2. Use a small dotting tool dipped in Midnight Cami to create a line of dots.

3. Repeat to create 1 to 2 more lines on nails.

Michelle’s Tips:

- Prep nails with a layer of Ridge Filling  base coat.

- Using a dotting tool is a fool proof way to create a stripe.

- Finish with a layer of Good To Go top coat.
