    Steps

      Pick a shape, colour and pattern

      Open the studio on the home page or any design page, then choose a nail shape, a base color and a pattern.

      The studio offers 5 nail shapes, 16 polish colors and 11 patterns, plus an accent color. The pattern can go on every nail or on the accent nail only.

      Saving and sharing a look

      Use the browser’s screenshot or print to keep a preview of a look you like. The studio also has a Print card button and a Copy recipe button for the steps.

      Previews are drawings; real polish colours look different on each nail and in each light.

      Three steps in order: preview a look, take a screenshot or print, keep the steps, level and time
