On Anna Kendrick [1]'s fingertips is a multi-dimensional, shimmery pink work of art. To create the look, nail artist Michelle Saunders used $12 nail polish Essie Gel Couture [2] ($12) in Lace Is More [3] (a vanilla shade with gold shimmer) and First View [4] (a robin egg blue), plus Essie Nail Polish [5] ($10) in Pink Diamond [6] (a tropical pink) and No Place Like Chrome [7](a shining silver).
Even better, it's so easy to recreate: layer on two coats of of the quick drying, Lace Is More. Then, using a small, fan brush lightly sweep each shade — one at a time — from one corner to the centre of your nail and remember to let each detail dry down before another one. Then, seal it all in using a top coat (like Essie Platinum Top Coat ($12), which creates a crystal-like shine).
