Inspired by a “vixen’s love story,” Michael Costello’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection starts off with a dainty feel in both colors and materials, and ends on a tougher note, and Rita Remark for essie wanted the nails to mirror that.

4. Then, swipe back and forth horizontally across the tip of the nail to create light, dry brush strokes just along the tip.
