"Glowy skin, voluminous curls, hot hip hop mogul husband\u2014there aren't many things Beyonc\u00E9 has that I don't envy a little. After seeing images of her new Pulse fragrance ad campaign (above), I immediately wanted her smoky blue eyes and her metallic blue and silver nails (in a shorter, more natural variation, of course). So for the latter, I asked manicurist Jin Soon Choi to re-create the look on me. Not only did I score a Beyonc\u00E9-worthy manicure (see the finished look below), but Choi was full of handy (get it?) tips. Here's how you, too, can get the look:\\n\\n\\n\\n                   \\n\\nBefore busting out any polish, Choi filed my nails. Although I'm normally a squoval-shaped kind of girl, Choi convinced me to go for a rounded, almond shape instead. \\\"This shape makes your nails look more sophisticated and feminine,\\\" she explained, admitting she was \\\"over\\\" square-shaped nails. She was right\u2014post-filing, my hands appeared slimmer and longer.\\n\\n\\n\\nWhile B's nails look to be Minx or nail stickers, Choi achieved a similar look by first swiping on a base coat then brushing on two coats of __Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen in Silver Chrome__. The pen dried fast and looked extra-shiny. To get the icy-spongy design, Choi dipped the corner of a makeup sponge in blue polish (she used [Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen in Turquoise Chrome](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2011/sally-hansen-color-quick-nail-pen-turquoise-chrome)) and dabbed it over the nails (think of it as sponge painting your walls). Rather than covering the whole nail, Choi purposely skipped spots, so that the silver was still showing. She topped it all off with a clear top coat. The end effect looked really reflective and almost tie-dyed\u2014you can just call me Beyonc\u00E9's nail twin. And in case you're not in a blue and silver mood, Choi said you can create this design with any two contrasting nail polishes.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n[#image: /photos/577189168d432b9e20f8e862]||||||\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  __RELATED LINKS:__\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Sephora Offers a Cool New Nail Service](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/08/sephora-offers-a-cool-new-nail-service.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Celebrity Trends: Allure's Beauty Icons of Summer 2011](http://www.allure.com/celebrity-trends/2011/summer-beauty-icons\\\\#slide=1)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Daily Beauty Reporter: Beyonc\u00E9 Talks At-Home Beauty Treatments, Makeup Tricks, and Stealing Her Mother's Perfume](http://www.allure.com/beauty-trends/blogs/daily-beauty-reporter/2011/03/beyonce-talks-beauty.html)\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n__Photos: Courtesy of Beyonc\u00E9; Staff __"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
