Have you guys seen our homepage this week, Smoke Signals? I love the moodiness of the images and the edgy product featured in the shoot – lived in tees, tie-dye, fishnet and shades of black and gray give this trend a smokin’ attitude. Without even planning to, we came up with some awesome nail art that fits this trend perfectly – smoke nails! The style is somewhat similar to marble nails but features two colors… and we found a far easier way to achieve it!
What you need: two shades of polish (we liked how white and a dark, deep blue looked for this design), and any type of object with a pointy end. We used a coffee stirrer!
Unscrew the caps on your polish so you will be able to apply the two colors quickly.
Apply one color to each side of the nail – be generous with the polish, you’ll want it to be slightly runny.
Immediately take the pointed object and make a swirling motion where the two colors meet to create a smoke effect.
Repeat this process on each nail!

I tried thus and loved it!!! But a good tip is to use a watery paint for at least one of them, or it will be much harder to get the swirled effect
They look so cool! I’ll find out if it works when I try it!!!
