Mani of the Week: Bee-utiful Bees
Why we love it: Hand-painted nail art creates some of the most time-consuming yet impressive manicures and this one is no exception.

Mani of the Week: Punchy Pink Waves
Why we love it: Summer officially ends on September 22. For the rest of the month, we're dying to rock all the bright, summery shades before fall's vampy hues start to appear. A great way to combine several bright shades into one manicure is with a two-toned wave design. Add a third color with a contrasting stripe for extra impact.
To get the look: Use Deco Miami Nail Lacquer, $8, in Don't Call Me Baby Girl, Miley What's Good and Tequila Sunrise.

Mani of the Week: Art Deco Vibes
Why we love it: This manicure checks so many boxes for us. The contrast of lilac and inky black makes an edgy, yet feminine color combination. The hand-painted nail art is stunning in a mix of lines, dots, crescent moons and triangles — making each finger a mini work of art. The pop of shimmery gold makes it a look worthy of any special occasion.
To get the look: Use CND Vinylux Weekly Polish, $10.50, in Gummi, Black Pool and Brass Button.
