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.
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.

Mani of the Week: Gettin' Ready for That Summer Vacation
Why we love it: Bold white nails make a stunning combo when paired with bright, summery shades like salmon, yellow and the beautiful contrast of black. The freehand designs are fresh, fun and anything but fussy. Try a look like this for your upcoming summer vacation — it pairs perfectly with a beach, a summer dress and a tan!
To get the look: Use OPI Infinite Shine, $12.50, in Time For A Napa, Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet, Black Onyx and Suzi Chases Portu-Geese.
Why we love it: This fun, colorful mani features several trends in one bold look. First, we have three tones making up the French tips. Second, the use of Pantone's color of the year, Ultra Violet, in a gorgeous pink and purple palette. Third, the unique addition of a bare, half-moon cutout creates a gorgeous contrast for the bright colors to pop. The look is chic and feminine.
To get the look: Use Essie Gel Couture, $11.50, in Bold Boundaries, Set the Seam and What's the Stitch.
Why we love it: Spice up a simple, spotted leopard mani by using an unexpected background color like blue. The contrast of pastels with intricate details in deep brown and black makes it look rich and dimensional, as well as wearable all year long. We think they're just Grrreat!
To get the look: Use Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer, $9.50, in Water Baby, Latte Please and Little Black Dress.
Nail art is one of those photogenic beauty trends that we could look at all day long. Somehow, scrolling through photos of nail art designs whipped up by nail art icons like Deborah Lippmann, Jin Soon and Paintbox is simply addictive — whether we plan to execute the nail design ideas or not.
