Mani of the Week: Pink Nails
Created by: @catrice.cosmetics

Our nails look so pretty in pink, and this simple nail design opens up all sorts of doors in terms of nail art inspiration. This minimal manicure was created by catrice.cosmetics using Catrice Cosmetics Ultimate Nail Lacquer in Greyzy In Love and Robinson Coralsoe. For the ladies who want to debut pink nails this season, and rock chic nail art without the hassle of drawing intricate designs -- this is your match made in heaven.

Mani of the Week: Retro Polka Dot Nails

There's something to be said for vintage-inspired nail art, and these adorable polka dot nails are sending us straight back to the '50s when summers were nothing but chic bathing suits and pink lemonade. Who's the culprit responsible for the flashback? You can thank so_nailicious for these blue and beige nails created with the Dior Vernis Polka Dots - Summer 2016 Limited Edition Colour & Dots Manicure Kit in Pastilles. No matter what the era, polka dot nails are always in -- especially wrapped around pink lemonade.

Mani of the Week: Red Nails

We're head over heels for these smoking-hot nails designed by paintboxnails as part of their new summer collection, Hot Lines. While classic red nails will always be in style, this minimalist nail design puts a fresh and chic spin on the full-color manicure, and it's leaving us feeling all sorts of edgy. It's true what they say, summer romances are the sweetest -- and I think we just found ours.

Mani of the Week: Red Hot Summer Nails
Created by: @julepbeauty

The summer heat isn't the only thing that's sweltering this week. These fiery summer nails are exactly the nail design you need to remind everyone who really keeps things hot during the season (especially with nail art). The lovely digit design was created by julepmaven using vivid shades of Julep Nail Polish in Gigi and Brynn. The vibrant red combined with the orange yellow polish, creates a subtle (and sultry) contrast that's as bright and fun as summer itself.

 Mani of the Week: Summer Stripes
Created by: @cassmariebeauty

While the black and blue color combination often inspires controversies (remember the dress debate?) and causes our mothers to worry when used in the same sentence -- this gorgeous black nail design is setting the record straight -- proving they really are the perfect color pair. These striped nails were created by using Deco Miami Nail Lacquer in Male Tears and Black Like My Soul. The subtle pastel blue polish plays up the clean cut lines beautifully, and is a great substitute for when you need to switch up your black and white nails. Who's got the nail tape? We need to recreate ASAP.

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.
