If you spend your weekends hunting for precious stones on the beach or clinging to your healing crystals, then we found your perfect nail art. Gorgeous geode nails are one of this season's hottest nail art trends. Despite their frequent appearance on our Instagram feed, when we came across these stunning geode nails created by SprinkleNails, we couldn't help but swoon.
As gorgeous as geode nails are, it is very easy for the nail trend to come off as hippie-ish or childish -- heralding flashbacks to our sand art days. Not the case here. SprinkleNails shows off her mastery with a design that reminds us less of our kindergarten-crafting days and more of pretty, polished agate.
To get the look, she used LondonTown Nail Lacquer in Earl Grey, Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Lacey Lilac and Babe Blue. Dying to recreate the look but need a little help? See the full tutorial here.

We interrupt this season of pastel nail art to bring you these hypnotic black and white nails, designed by Maria Vlezko (aka @so_nailicious).
We love marble nails because they're unpredictable -- I mean, do you ever really know how they're going to turn out? And that same sort of whimsical air carries over into the paint-spattered nail design.
To create the look, Vlezko used Dior Vernis Long-Wearing Nail Lacquer in Black Out and Mavala Cream Colors Nail Polish in 49 White. To keep her manicure intact, she applied Caption Base Coat beforehand and finished with Essie Good to Go Top Coat.

If there's one thing we love about spring, it's the vibrant nail polish colors that come out to play. When warm weather hits, we trade in our somber, muted winter palette of burgundies, grays and navy blues for eye-popping corals, bright yellows and in-your-face neon hues.
This spring we're all about making the most of this cocktail of colors, especially when it comes to implementing the year's hottest nail trends. Steph Stone created these rainbow nails, which capture the essence of sunny days with their vivid color and beach-y, sand-swirl-like water marble design. Plus, this vivid nail art lets play with all of our favorite spring and summer shades. (And, it doesn't hurt to get a few mani ideas for pride month next month.) So go ahead, dig up your go-to warm-weather polishes and channel your inner-Lisa Frank. If you need help with the design, check out this water marble nail how-to.

Though they seem thoroughly modern, half moon nails are actually a throwback to the '30s, when it was the de rigueur way to paint one's nails. Today, we find this vintage style all over the runways and Instagram. Not only is the simple nail design a chic way to incorporate complementary colors, half moon nails are incredibly easy to DIY. We're particularly entranced with this clean-cut nude and white combo by Sophie Harris-Greenslade (aka The Illustrated Nail), which turns the traditional French manicure on its head. The result: a look that manages to be both edgy and elegant. In other words, it's the ultimate boss babe manicure.

This gorgeous, minimal matte manicure is courtesy of the infamous NYC nail studio, Paintbox Nails. While summer is known for hot romances, wild nights on the beach and an overall high energy of the season (hello, neon nail colors), there is a softer side to summer. This particular pastel nail design, with its robin egg blue hue and sweeping white line, stirs up memories of collecting seashells at a summer beach house. These sandy shades transport us so much, we can almost hear the ocean waves crashing against the shore.

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.
