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.

Mani of the Week: Triple-Toned Talons
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.

A Mod Take on Leopard
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.

Mani of the Week: Sparkling Strawberries
Why we love it: Strawberry season is here and that means we're going to see this darling red fruit everywhere — from recipes, to clothing, to our fingertips. These tiny, glittering, strawberry motifs, painted on bare nails, are a fresh, fun, sparkly way to pay homage to the tasty berry.
To get the look: Use Zoya Natural Nail Polish, $10, in Kym, Ivanka and Purity.

Mani of the Week: Rose Quartz Nails
Why we love it: This realistic take on the popular love stone looks adorable on nails. Try it as a detailed, slightly blingy upgrade from a neutral pink mani. From the delicate, hand-painted swirls to the kiss of gold shimmer, we think this manicure really rocks.
To get the look: Use Essie Gel Couture, $11.50, in Sheer Fantasy and Pre-Show Jitters, topped with strategically placed gold nail foil. Peep this tutorial for how to get the rose quartz details. Voila!
