Out heartstrings are all in knots for this colorful Converse manicure. Perfect for back to school season, Sasha of Instagram’s @freshnailsxo shows us how she created these nails for all shoe-lovers out there!

Step 1: After prepping the nails by filing, shaping, pushing back the cuticles, and applying a base coat, apply two coats of each chosen color to the nails.
Step 2: Use white nail polish to apply two coats in a reverse moon to the tips.
Step 3: Use a black striper polish to apply a thin, rounded stripe on the white tip.
Step 4: With a white striper, apply criss-cross patterns on the colored part of nails for the laces.
Step 5: Pour a few drops of black polish on a piece of paper to dip dotting tool in and then apply black dots to each corner of the criss-cross pattern.
Step 6: Add top coat and you’re done!
