Angled lines and sharp triangles in royal blue cut through very vibrant shades to create this mega-bright look by polish guru Jin Soon Choi.

Follow along as the look is broken down in five simple steps.
1/7Take your nails from zero to sixty in five easy steps.
2/7Apply a Base
To give your look a solid foundation, start with a strong base coat.
Jinsoon Power Coat was Jin Soon’s pick.
3/7Get Colorful
Paint each nail a different vibrant hue. Make sure you use two coats of each shade!
Jin Soon chose CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Glosstinis in Orange Oasis, Blue Hawaiian, Pink Lady, Pina Colada, and Appletini.
4/7Add the First Design
Using a nail art brush or very thin paint brush, apply a swoop of royal blue beginning on the bottom left side of your pinky fingernail and pulling upwards towards the top right corner. Do the same thing on your ring finger but start on the bottom right side of the nail and work your way towards the left.
The bright blue used in this look is Jinsoon Blue Iris.
5/7Create the Next Pattern
On the rest of your nails, use the same thin brush dipped in your blue hue to create small triangles. Start with two on either side of the nail horizontally. Then draw two pointing at one another vertically and add a third coming in from the side.
6/7Seal the Deal
Use a top coat to make sure your manicure stays for days!
Jinsoon Top Gloss was carefully painted on each nail.
7/7The Finished Look
Now you're ready to show off a manicure that's sure to make a lasting impression.
