Whether you’re a writer or not, these notebook nails are ridiculously darling — and so simple. So if you’re a nail art newbie, this is a great design to try. First, start with at least two coats of white polish, and then begin the lines. To get the lines super precise and slim, use a nail striper, which is a very thin brush. Rose suggests the Art Club Nail Art Striper, $4. Do the horizontal blue lines first and then finish with one long, vertical red stripe. “Make sure you wait at least five minutes in between each step, especially before you move on to a new color,” says Rose.
