Mani of the Week: Summer Polka Dots
Why we love it: The combo of tan nails and crisp white polka dots is so striking. Pair it with summery tan skin and your fave bikini. The look is neutral enough to wear with anything and the eye-catching designs are supereasy to recreate. Try dipping a toothpick into your accent color for easy DIY polka dots.
To get the look: Use Floss Gloss Nail Lacquer, $9, in Tanlines and Mrs. Tony Montana.

Mani of the Week: Orange and Grape Crush
Why we love it: In the heat of summer, we're crushin' on this vibrant orange- and grape-hued mani. The two bright shades come together for a tropical twist, especially as paired with a crescent of black polish accented with white polka dots. If you're looking for a statement manicure that gives you some creative freedom (and isn't ridiculously hard to pull off), try these colorful works of art and get prepared to stare.
To get the look: Use CND Creative Play Nail Lacquer, $8.50, in Orange You Curious, Isn't She Grape, Black & Forth and I Blanked Out.

Mani of the Week: Red, White and Blue-tiful
Why we love it: What better way to ring in the fourth of July with a body of water and this darling, nautical manicure. The tiny life preservers in a patriotic palette is a non-traditional way to celebrate America (and the summer.) So whether you end up at the lake, the pool or the beach, this red, white and blue mani is sure to bring a smile to your face.
To get the look: Use Zoya Nail Polish, $10, in Maura, Purity and Mirajane.

Mani of the Week: Fuchsia Fine Lines
Why we love it: We're always looking for ways to breathe new life into a nude manicure. One of our favorites is by adding just the right pop of color. Tiny strokes of fuchsia add vibrancy and a uniqueness that draws the eye to the triple-lined tips.
To get the look: Use Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure, $7.99, in Sheer Ecstasy and Orchid Me Not.

Mani of the Week: Nude With a Twist
Why we love it: A mani with nude cutouts is no easy feat to pull off by yourself. It either takes a steady hand and some tape or a great nail artist. That said, the look itself is super elegant and chic. The warm, neutral tones look gorgeous alongside flashes of bare nail. It's a your-nails-but-better manicure that simply goes with everything.
To get the look: Use Orly Nail Lacquer, $9.50, in Valley of Fire and Sands of Time.
