Mani of the Week: Understated Extravagance
Why we love it: If you're trying to keep your manicure demure and work-appropriate but you just love sparkles, this is the mani for you. Glossy nude nails topped with iridescent holographic polish in a gradient design is neat, clean and gives your tips a little extra pizzazz. Indoors, it looks just like a nude mani — take it outside in sunlight and enjoy the full spectrum radiating from your fingers.
To get the look: Use KB Shimmer Nail Polish, $10, in PT Young Thing.

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.

Mani of the Week: Under the Sea
Why we love it: It's like peeping into an aquarium or the depths of the ocean — we're enamored with the beautiful colors and the delicate creatures lurking beneath the surface.

Mani of the Week: Day-Glo Designs
Why we love it: It's summer and we're all about hot colors to match the rising temps. Make your mani really stand out with fluorescent shades of pink, yellow and green in a striking outline design — bonus points if it glows under a black light.
