You know what we love? Nail art that is so unique and subtle, it stands out more than a flashy look-at-me manicure. That's how we feel about these understated water droplet nails, created by Sally Hansen Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole. Though they look like they took an hour to create, these water nails really take only about 10 minutes (lazy girls rejoice).
To recreate the look, start with a base coat (try Dolce & Gabbana Protective Base Coat). Once dry, apply your favorite beige nail polish (we love OPI Nail Lacquer, in Act Your Beige!). To create the water droplets, take a clear nail polish like Sinful Colors Nail Polish Clear Coat, and gently dab small bubbles on your nail with the end of the application brush, a toothpick or a dotting tool. Be sure not to apply too much polish at once, as you're going for droplets --not streams. Continue to do this on all of your nails, and let them dry for a good couple minutes. Once dry, apply a top coat for added protection, then go debut your sick-as-hell nails right then and there.
