Playing off the nautical theme of Monse’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection for NYFW, Rita Remark for Essie created two designs inspired by sails.

The first look is a white, angled tip shaped like a sail, while the other features two graphic lines,” she said. “With the help of a thin striping brush, this look is easily achieved at home; no tape or guides required."

The designs will be worn as an accent nail on each hand.

Products Used:

Apricot cuticle oil

Here to Stay base coat

Mademoiselle

Blanc

2. Add one layer of Here to Stay base coat for a smooth polish application.

3. Apply one coat of Mademoiselle for a ”clean and fresh” look.

4. Using a striping brush dipped in Blanc, draw a diagonal line from the outer edge of the nail down toward the tip.
