While all of the Disney princesses give us solid reasons to love them (Snow White's on-point red lip, Rapunzel's killer braids), our favorite has always been Cinderella. Her magical outfits, those glass slippers, and her ability to run from a prince without knocking a hair out of place made her one of our heroines. Polish brand Orly must be inspired by her, too, because it teamed up with nail artist Miss Pop to create a truly regal Cinderella nail art look.

Just like their Disney villain designs and other princess creations, this manicure is a subtle and sophisticated nod to our favorite princess. Iridescent blue and sparkling lacquers from the Walgreens-exclusive polishes ($7 each in stores) pay homage to that iconic evening gown.

The best part? This look is as simple as it is classy. Read on for the quick and easy steps.

Step 1

After you've applied a basecoat like Orly Bonder ($10) to all your nails, apply two layers of the iridescent blue Cinderelly Cinderelly polish.

Step 2, Part 1

Now you're ready to try your hand at the dry brushing technique. Uncap Stroke of Midnight polish, a sparkly rose gold, and wipe a lot of the lacquer off the brush onto the bottle's rim (you should be able to see the bristles).

Step 2, Part 2

Lightly stroke the formula from your cuticle to the middle of your nail. Repeat on all of your fingers. Your manicure should have an ombré-like look, as seen here.

Step 3

Finish your regal manicure with a generous coat of the silvery-white confetti polish Fairy Dust. Your nails should look magical!

The Finished Look

These fingers will make Prince Charming want to put a ring on it.
