Runway inspiration: Michelle Saunders for essie was inspired by the jewelry and elaborately beaded gowns in Jenny Packham’s Fall/Winter ’14 collection. For the nail, she created an embellished ring finger accent design that resembled the Solaris necklace from the runway.

This is a sleek style to add with just a simple base coat, it draws attention to your nails and is a fun style to add on your weekend to do list.
