Celebrity nail artist Simcha Whitehill, aka Miss Pop, made headlines last week when she officially announced her title as the CND Creative Ambassador. If you're not familiar with the nail artist's work, Miss Pop creates modern and chic nail art -- from minimalist designs to colorful, graphic ones -- and they always make big statements. Case in point: These '80s-inspired, colorful nails, which she created in celebration of her new partnership. Miss Pop used CND Vinylux Weekly Nail Polish, in Pink Leggings, Banana Clips, Blue Eyeshadow, Video Violet and Black Pool. She balances out the bright nail colors with clean geometric lines, black polish and a peek of naked nail. Not to mention, this manicure won't budge with CND's chip-resistant formula.

The fact that we've watched every "Sex in the City" episode ten times over probably has something to do with our love for these New York City-inspired nails. NYC-based nail salon Vanityprojects created this epic skyline with a few careful strokes of black nail polish and a gold stud (for a little bit of bling). If your artistic skills are limited to that of stick figures, you're in luck. These city nails are easy to replicate, assuming you have a very steady hand. Just be sure to pick up a details nail art brush (we love Red Carpet Manicure's Nail Art Tool Kit, $12) so you're able to create the fine strokes of the city's bridges and skyscrapers. Also, allow your lines to dry before applying more polish, so you don't risk accidentally smudging your work. Apply a topcoat (like Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat) to keep your urban landscape from chipping.

Something about these pretty pink nails makes us want to throw a tea party and dish out scones and crumpets. It could be the proper mauve polish or the dainty floral accent nail. Either way, we're obsessed. The darling design was created by Sophia Prokoshina using Zoya Nail Polish in Jill from the Zoya Naturels (3) Collection. You don't have to be an artist to replicate her rose accent nail either. Prokoshina plucked the nail wrap from the Born Pretty Store, which features a ton of supercool nail wraps to incorporate into your nail art. Now if you'll excuse us, we have a tea party to get back to. Manicured pinkies out.

We're well beyond the years of staying out until 3 a.m. every weekend. In fact, we'd much prefer to cozy up on the couch with a bottle of wine and Netflix -- which is why we have to get creative with expressing our inner Kesha (because Lord knows she can't be fully contained). Our solution? A hot pink manicure that features a glittery gold half-moon nail design (since we're also past the days of body glitter, but we still can't resist a good sparkle). NYC manicure studio Paintbox fabricated these fun, vibrant pink nails which you can easily recreate using OPI Nail Polish, $10, in That's Berry Daring and Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Rock at the Top. Need a little help with your half moon nail design? Check out this easy tutorial.

It's just about spring (we can almost smell the fresh daffodils), which means the season of pastel nail polish is nearly upon us While the colors are comfortably predictable -- think ballet slipper pinks, robin's egg blues and soft mints.-- the nail art doesn't have to be (step away from the floral design). Case in point? This geometric nail design by Camille Elisa, aka Pshiiit_polish. Here, she uses springtime color favorites to create a captivating, orderly nail design.
To get the look, Elisa used OPI Nail Lacquer in Suzi Without a Paddle, Polly Want A Lacquer?, Getting Nadi On My Honeymoon and Coconuts Over OPI -- all from their spring 2017 Fiji Collection. There might still be snow on the ground, but our nails are in full bloom.

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.
