ORANGE YOU GLAD
For bubble-textured
nails this chic, Sakamoto
placed sherbet and
gray beads individually
with tweezers—it took
her about two hours.
Another option: Paint
press-ons with nail glue,
dip them into a bowl of
beads, and just fill in any
holes using tweezers.
Seal your artwork with a
coat of clear at-home
gel polish (we like Essie
Gel-Setter Top Coat).

CROWNING GLORY
To get the effect of a
designer crystal
headpiece without
springing for one,
George recommends
placing sticker crystals
(he buys them in
strips from craft stores
like Michaels) down the
length of braids. (They’re
not so sticky that they’ll
rip your hair.) “I use Hicks
Edges gel-wax when
I’m braiding,” he says.
“It makes the braid super
clean”—a smooth canvas
for the stickers.
