To get the look, start with clear base. Then, paint on two coats of Essie nail polish in "Sand Tropez" ($9; essie.com). Next, use Kiss Nail Artist Paint in White ($7/three shades; target.com) to create a French tip-like stripe across the top of the nail. Use Tom Ford nail polish in "Carnal Red" ($36; tomford.com) to add a stripe in the middle of the swipe you just created. Then, use Kiss Nail Artist Paint in Black ($7/three shades; target.com) to outline the lower arch of the tip, and the sides of the red stripe. Finish up with clear top coat, and let the block party commence.
