Nail artist Simcha Whitehill aka Miss Pop shows you how to mimic this look in four easy steps.\n\n1. Prep. File your nails into the desired shape and push back your cuticles \u2014 DO NOT CUT THEM! Then, after you apply a basecoat, to the base of each nail apply a paper hole reinforcement \u2014 the kind you can find at any office supply store. To ensure they're pressed down in the corners, roll over each one with a dotter tool.2. Paint on your first coat of gray. Model and Cosmopolitan.com's publicist Olivia Bernardo swiped on one coat of Essie Master Plan, a light greige shade, onto each of her nails.3. Paint a second coat of polish and remove the stickers. Focusing on one nail at a time, paint the second coat of Essie Master Plan, give the polish a minute to set, and then remove the reinforcement sticker. If there's any residual polish in the bare half-moon or your edge is wonky, you can clean it up with an old eyeshadow brush dipped in nail polish remover to make sure the arch is perfectly rounded.4. Add the metallic French tip. Using a striper brush dipped in a rose gold hue, like Covergirl Pretty Penny, line the tip of your nail.Finally, wait a few minutes for your artwork to set. Then seal your look with topcoat. Voila! Nails that people will pin the hell out of.
