In need of nail art inspiration? Stella McCartney's fall 2016 collection has you covered. While manicurist Madeline Poole kept the models' nails virtually bare on the runway, she found a subdued nail art idea in look 18. "What I love most is textures or cuts that inspire a nail," says Poole, Sally Hansen global color ambassador. "This look is representation of a spotted woven fabric featuring four colors. What you end up with is easy to recreate and very three-dimensional."

Here, Poole breaks down the look in four easy steps.

Step 1

<p>Create a burgundy base with two coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sally-Hansen-Complete-Salon-Manicure-Nail-Color-Ruby-Do-0.5-fl-oz/24511949?action=product_interest&action_type=title&item_id=24511949&placement_id=irs-2-m2&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id&category=&client_guid=a5554c95-069f-4cee-b9fe-9f152657730e&customer_id_enc&config_id=2&parent_item_id=23554680&parent_anchor_item_id=23554680&guid=4fa79963-3160-4b13-80ed-527612589954&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.1&findingMethod=p13n">Ruby Do.</a><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sally-Hansen-Complete-Salon-Manicure-Nail-Color-Ruby-Do-0.5-fl-oz/24511949?action=product_interest&action_type=title&item_id=24511949&placement_id=irs-2-m2&strategy=PWVUB&visitor_id&category=&client_guid=a5554c95-069f-4cee-b9fe-9f152657730e&customer_id_enc&config_id=2&parent_item_id=23554680&parent_anchor_item_id=23554680&guid=4fa79963-3160-4b13-80ed-527612589954&bucket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.1&findingMethod=p13n"></a>  </p>
