For an easy-to-create twist on the classic look, Samantha B. swooped several stripes diagonally across her tips. Marcela F. (below) and Holly Ann T. (top left) used the asymmetrical technique and also played with texture, combining rough glitter with slick black lacquer.

Nicole M. included the ocean in her beach scene by painting a stripe of blue on the tip, while Kristen Glitta Gloves P. created these sparkling lightning tips. And instead of filling her entire nail with the a panda, Kitty C. opted to adorn just her tips with the adorable bear’s face!
