Last night at Adam Selman, the clothes took inspiration from a nudist colony in Hawaii, featuring punchy tropical prints, but the nails, designed by manicurist Madeline Poole, are naked in their own way. Bare save for a random blob of deep blue polish (Poole used Complete Salon Manicure in Dark Hue-Mor) on each nail, the look is, "something a girl could do DIY sitting at her desk. Like drawing on your finger with Sharpie," says Poole who created a makeshift circle stamp by pressing a carpenter's nail into the end of a pencils eraser, but "you can use anything to make a dot," Poole says. 

"The best tip I can give is to not press hard. Have quite a lot of paint on the tip and lightly tap it so it doesn't smoosh the color and bleed out." As for the placement, "it's random, but there is kind of a method to randomness so that it doesn't look patterned. Each nail the dot is in a different place. Maybe there's only one fully solid circle. but it looks more intentionally continuous that way. It's intuitive."
