6 easy steps to a punky pastel mani

Check these out, too...

Our fave bloggers at The Beauty Department dreamed up this electric--and totally exclusive--nail art for us. Their presh-yet-punk bolt design will light up your fingertips all season long.

VIEW THUMBNAILS

BEAUTY KIT

To get picture-perfect results, you'll want a metallic shade, like Maybelline New York Color Show Nail Lacquer in Bold Gold ($4 at drugstores), and a pastel shade, like Essie polish in Mint Candy Apple ($8 at essie.com).
THE RIGHT TOOLS

Got your polish? Fab! Now you'll need painter's tape (get it at the hardware store) and a small pair of scissors.
STEP 1

Apply metallic polish to all 10 digits and wait five minutes (or until dry).
STEP 2

Cut tape into narrow triangles and apply them in a zigzag pattern.
STEP 3

Paint over the entire nail and triangles with the pastel shade.
STEP 4

Peel off the tape after waiting just 10 seconds so polish is still wet.
STEP 5

Do just one nail for an unexpected accent or all 10 for a major mani.
STEP 6

Swipe each dry nail with a layer of topcoat to seal in your masterpiece.
Don't let the sweets fool ya--our model's mani is totally fierce.
Get oh-so gorge advice from beauty pros Kristin Ess, Lauren Conrad (yep, that one!) and Amy Nadine at TheBeautyDepartment.com. Thanks for the how-to, ladies!

Everyone's saying it's hard but it seems easy enough so I'll try it out when I get some new nail polish colors!
