Smoky Prism
Start with a silver glitter polish on all nails. Keep layers thin to prevent smudging between steps.
With a metallic silver polish, create a diagonal line across the tip of each nail. For better precision, use a striping tape to create a straight line.
Repeat the same step across the tip, using a dark gray and going in the opposite direction.
