Nail Pro, one of two major nail industry magazines in America, provides a tutorial on how to do the nail art design you see in this picture.

"Creating the cover nails" is a six-part how-to guide with pictures of each step to recreate the nail art by top industry expert and multiple nail competition winner Amy Becker.

This is a gel nail art design, as you might have guessed by the mag cover title "All About Gels." The nail artist started by making the model's nail long, so her "canvas" was large enough to paint on a pretty design.

Step 1: "Becker applied a form to each nail and then sculpted an extended enhancement out of clear gel."
