Nail artist JUNKO shares easy and stylish nail tips and tricks for every day. Today's brand is Estée Lauder, which brings clear color and a smooth shine to your fingertips. "Dark summer nail colors seem to be especially popular among women working in the fashion industry. Choosing a dark color in the summer creates an edgy impression and tightens up a light outfit. The Beyond Black Collection isn't just dark; it also contains subtle glitter, which catches the light and sparkles captivatingly. This sparkle is why dark colors don't look heavy even in the summer," says JUNKO. Among the nail colors being released on August 10th, we chose two from the Beyond Black Collection, which boasts a rich sparkle. The deep color and delicate, yet gorgeous shine create a dramatic finish. The hands are a clean, solid color, while the feet have a clear cutout in the center for a cool look. This style evokes the image of a woman with a modern, creative sensibility.

■How to
(1) File the hands into a short round square.
(2) Finish with one coat to bring out the color clearly. The color used is GM Blue Blood.
(3) Paint the bottom 1/4 of the feet from the base with GM Black Plum.
(4) Cut masking tape (or cellophane tape if you don't have masking tape) into a right-angled isosceles triangle to fit the size of the nail and attach it so that the line drawn with GM Black Plum is the base, then paint the 3/4 of the way from the tip with GM Blue Blood.
