Racing-Stripe Nails That Anyone Can Master

Every time manicurist Madeline Poole reveals new nail art, we rush to replace our existing manicure with her latest creation. She’s just that good, and her eye for graphic, geometric, and otherwise cool designs is unparalleled. That’s why we’re thrilled to feature her nail art tutorials each month on Yahoo Beauty.

For the series’ inaugural look, Poole whipped up a simple yet eye-catching racing stripe. Not only is the design easy to do on your own, it also pairs a classic fall purple with an unexpected chartreuse. (As Sally Hansen Global Color Ambassador, she knows her way around the color wheel.) Fun stuff, to be sure. Read on and learn how to create this bright and cheery manicure.
