Caption Polish senior nail stylist, Soo Kim, took inspiration from the texture seen in the prints and textiles of the collection, resulting in dry brushstroke nail art. The edges of the design remain raw so that the nail look is consciously imperfect. Lepore wanted manicures to have a free-spirited DIY feel. To recreate this look, start with a base coat. Follow with two coats of Look, Don’t Touch from cuticle to free edge. Clean off the brush so there is only a little polish remaining and lightly swipe across the nail in various directions to make faint brushstrokes using Heaven Help Me. Apply top coat and nails are runway ready.
