Anyone Can Master This Elegant Nail Art Look

The next step requires a little more precision, but it's a little easier, since you have a lot more of the nail to work with. Zoya Farah ($9) is a creamy opaque hue, so the line has to be clean to get a crisp look. Again, you want only a small amount of polish on the brush, which will give you better control over creating the straight line.

If you end up making a mistake, you can go back with a cleanup brush, like one from the Butter London Backstage Basics Nail Art Tool Kit ($18), with acetone to go back and perfect the edge that shows off the bare nail underneath.
