Following a trend set by Alexa Chung and Sally Singer, the Fashion magazine All-Seeing Eye manicure tutorial is in high demand.

The intricacy of manicures is seemingly always on the rise, and [intricate designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-x-wicked-for-good) like this [ancient Egyptian symbol](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/talisman-collection) are more attainable than ever. Created using a series of [nail pens and polishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-products), the manicure is a fair bit of work, but eye-catching nonetheless. The magazine put out 2 variations of the tutorial, one with silver tips and another with a turquoise blue background. The latter is seemingly more straightforward, but pretty impressive looking. Whatever your preference may be, these designs are sure to take off in a big way.

With celeb endorsements and two official tutorials, this ancient-inspired nail art is a design to look out for this season.
