Mani of the Week: Movember Manicure
Created by: @melcisme

For this week's nail art design, we're getting in on the Movember action with this adorable mustache manicure (because tossing out our razors for No-Shave November wasn't really an option we'd consider). Nail artist melcisme used China Glaze Nail Lacquer with Hardeners in Change Your Attitude and White on White to create this dapper design. If facial hair isn't really your thing (and we suspect it's not for most women), you can still give men's health a nod with this jaunty gray and white nail art idea.

Mani of the Week: Latte-Inspired Nail Art
Created by: @fashnfitlife

With fall slowly fading into winter, we know you're holding onto your autumn mindset until the very last second, even if department stores are already playing Christmas songs (damn it, Santa -- this is not your moment). Determined to hold onto our pumpkin spice lattes a little longer, we're plucking fall nail art inspiration from our coffee cups (red or otherwise). This neutral, minimalist design was created by fashnfitlife, using Jenna Hipp Nail Polish in Life Is But A Cream and Ooh La Latte. The result: A simple nail art design that warms up the fingertips almost as much as our favorite seasonal beverages do.

Mani of the Week: Starry Winter Nails
Created by: @hannahroxit

You officially have our permission to debut festive winter nails, and we're absolutely in love with this look by hannahroxit. To create what we're calling a midnight winter wonderland design, she paired OPI Nail Lacquer in Umpires Come Out At Night with Inglot 02M Breathable Nail Enamel in Dream 201. It's a dazzling way to embrace the holiday spirit without being over the top (aka, no reindeers needed).

Mani of the Week: Winter Wonderland
Created by: @essie

The weather outside may be frightful, but this week's manicure is so delightful. We're bringing the winter wonderland inside with simple seasonal nail art. This dainty nail design was created by Essie, using Essie Nail Polish in Peak Show and Virgin Snow (they rhyme -- how poetic). So since you've got no place to go (we're assuming), paint your nails as you let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Mani of the Week: Neon Snowflakes
Created by: @nailstorming

Rebel against the traditional red and green nail colors of the holiday season and switch it up with these turquoise, neon yellow and purple snowflakes. This adorable winter nail design, created by nailstorming, uses Picture Polish in Triangle for the base, Sorbet for the snowflakes and Flirt for the accent dots. It's a perfectly unconventional way to celebrate the holidays.

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.

That's why we're bringing you our #ManicureMonday series — where we show you the simple nail art, endless nail design ideas and other ridiculously pretty nails that we're finding and loving.
