Nail artist JUNKO offers easy and stylish DIY nail art for summer. Using Giorgio Armani Beauty nail polish, she created a sophisticated and elegant nail art perfect for the working woman. "These nails are inspired by the perfect woman who wears a crisp suit to the office. I chose a greige that's even smarter and more fashionable than beige. It's not flashy, but since it's summer, I left some clear areas to avoid it looking too heavy, giving it a seasonal feel," says JUNKO. The #104 shade used on the hands is a soft gray that gives a chic impression without being too sharp. For the feet, I chose burgundy, a classic color for sophisticated women, to add a touch of sensuality. The rich gel formula delivers intense shine and thick polymers for flawless color payoff. The Giorgio Armani Nail Lacquer brush is firm yet has a moderate amount of bristles. It's a stable flat brush with a rounded tip, making it easy to create curved shapes. This brush allows for quick and accurate application, allowing you to draw sophisticated, smooth lines even when hand-drawn.
■Items Used
Nail Lacquer #104, #602 ¥2,700 each
■How to
(1) Shape the hands into a short, round shape. Apply a clear base coat, and once it dries, angle the brush at about a 40-degree angle to the nail and draw a curve with #104. Imagine drawing an oval on the inside of the nail.
(2) The trick to drawing an oval is not to spread the brush too wide. You can draw beautiful lines by drawing the brush smoothly and without applying pressure, while imagining the curve of the finished product. After drawing the outline, fill in the inside.
(3) For the feet, simply apply two coats of #602 in solid color.
