This is the final day of the series in which manicurist JUNKO offers easy and stylish do-it-yourself nail art tips and tricks every day. The brand of polish used for today's nail art is CHANEL. "I'm impressed by the perfect colors of CHANEL. The three colors released in August are particularly deep, inspired by colors associated with nature. And when you combine and layer colors like in this foot nail, it creates a completely different impression, which is interesting. If you're tired of the vibrant colors of summer, this is a nail color you should definitely try," says JUNKO. The hand nails are painted in #671, a bright yet rich red. To balance out the artsy look of the foot nails, which use a generous four colors, the finish is kept simple. For the foot nails, polish stickers (*) were created using four colors, including moss green, which is trending this fall, and cut into trapezoids and squares. Considering the balance of how the colors will look when they overlap, paste the cut, colorful polish stickers as if you were creating an abstract painting.

■Items Used

■How to
(1) Finish the hands with two coats of #671.
(2) Make polish stickers using the four colors: #669, #671, #679, and #681.
(3) Cut the four color polish stickers into trapezoids or squares while imagining the finished product.
(4) Smooth the base of the foot with a clear base coat, leaving the base 1/2 to 1/3 clear, and layer the polish stickers cut in (3) while checking the balance.

*How to make polish stickers
...All you need is a clear file. Use the clear file as a backing and draw a square with the polish you want to make the sticker from. We recommend applying 2 to 3 coats. Once dry, it will peel off like a film from the clear file. Cut it into the shape you like and use it like a sticker. When you want to stick it on, if the color underneath has dried, use the base coat as adhesive.
