Mani of the Week: Big-City Nails Created by: @vanityprojects
The fact that we've watched every "Sex in the City" episode ten times over probably has something to do with our love for these New York City-inspired nails. NYC-based nail salon Vanityprojects created this epic skyline with a few careful strokes of black nail polish and a gold stud (for a little bit of bling). If your artistic skills are limited to that of stick figures, you're in luck. These city nails are easy to replicate, assuming you have a very steady hand. Just be sure to pick up a details nail art brush (we love Red Carpet Manicure's Nail Art Tool Kit, $12) so you're able to create the fine strokes of the city's bridges and skyscrapers. Also, allow your lines to dry before applying more polish, so you don't risk accidentally smudging your work. Apply a topcoat (like Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat) to keep your urban landscape from chipping.
