Recreate this swirl look at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
  3. Apply base coat and the base color; let it dry or cure fully.
  4. Paint the design with a thin detail brush or dotting tool — start with the largest shapes and add fine details last.
  5. Use nail stickers or stamping plates if you want a quicker version.
  6. Seal with a glossy top coat.
  7. Finish with cuticle oil once everything is dry.

Pro tip: Designs on one or two accent nails look just as striking and take a fraction of the time.

Does deep plum nail polish suit my skin tone?

Blue-based reds and burgundies flatter cool and neutral undertones; on warm or deep skin, choose shades with a brick or brown hint.
