Starting today and running through July 17th, our daily series "Today's Item" will feature nail artist JUNKO's summer nail tips and the products she uses. On the first day, we present modern nail art using ADDICTION nail polish. "I wanted to create a new pink nail design for the hands. '004 Dear Liar' has a sheer, muted color that gives it an elegant impression. Adding metallic accents further elevates it to a more modern look. It's a more sensual pink than the typical 'kawaii' pink. It pairs perfectly with trendy metallic sandals," says JUNKO. The grayish pink used as the main color makes this nail art suitable for weekdays. The clear and metallic colors create a summery translucence and sparkle. The soft pink hand and deep navy foot combo are a trendy look. '027 Blue Train' is a luxurious navy that's deep but not too dark. The metallic silver accent, "035 Narcissus," has a hard shine that's neither glitter nor pearl. It dries quickly and is easy to use.

■How to
(1) Cut masking tape or cellophane tape into rectangles.
(2) Apply a clear base coat and let it dry. Then, stick the cut pieces of tape to the areas you want clear, and apply 004 on top.
(3) Once dry, remove the tape and apply 035 on top. The key is to keep in mind straight lines and move the brush in a straight line. Apply with a stroke of the brush. If you're not good at drawing straight lines, you can cover the areas other than the silver with tape using the same method as in (1) and (2).
(4) After coating the entire foot with 027, place the polish stickers (*) made with 035 on your thumb and middle finger to complete the process.
*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 two or three coats. Once dry, it will peel off like a film from the clear file. Cut it into any shape you like and use it like a sticker. If the color underneath has dried when you want to apply it, use the base coat as adhesive.
