Want the scoop on a hot European trend? Started in Italy and spotted on supermodels, this nail ‘do will make your digits look long, slender and gorgeous.

1. Remove any old polish from your nails with cotton balls and nail polish remover.
2. File each nail into a rounded-square shape.
3. Paint a base coat of clear polish on each nail. Let dry.
4. Now, veeeeeery carefully, paint a thin vertical stripe of dark red polish down the center of each nail. Leave the rest of each nail color-free. Let your nails dry completely.
5. Finish up with a top coat. Bella! (That’s “beautiful” in Italian, in case you didn’t know.)
