Just because it’s a recession doesn’t mean you can’t get a cool manicure. Forget going to the salon for an expensive airbrushed design and hit up the drugstore for a find that will send shock waves down to your fingers tips!

All the typing we do here at StyleHive takes a toll on our nails, so we took a break to freshen up our fingers with some crazy cool designs!

Whether you’re feeling French or seeing stars, these are just a few new takes on a simple manicure.

What you’ll need

- 2 nail art pens – colors of your choice- Base coat – color of your choice (we used white!)- Clear top coat

Step 1 – Apply your colored base coat. This will be the background color for your nail design. Let dry.

Step 2 -Use your nail pens to apply the design of your choice.

For polka dots, simply draw circles all over your nails using the colored nail pen.

For a French manicure, use the pen to easily mark a thick line across the top of your nails.
