31 Days of Pink: October 28

The twenty-eighth day of our 31 Days of Pink Odyssey with essie cosmetics is a woven manicure inspired by the wicker nails we saw backstage at Rodarte Spring 2013. 

Think of this design as a three-strand braid. Start by painting the base of the nail with a white polish. Then, use a light pink shade (like essie polish in I Am Strong from the new BCA collection) to draw a diagonal stripe. Next, take a darker pink shade, like essie polish in Fiesta, to criss-cross right over your previous stripe. Follow with the white polish, then with the light pink, and so on until you get to the end. Finish with a high-shine topcoat.
