Mani of the Week: Birds of Paradise
Why we love it: Tiny toucans paired with colorful parrots and iridescent accent nails, this week's mani is a tropical summer dream. Take a peek at these beaks and get the inspiration you need for all the summer feels. So grab a daiquiri, your favorite bikini and a handful of colorful polishes to recreate this work of art. (Note: These are not nail decals.)

Mani of the Week: Green with Envy
Why we love it: Angular cut-outs elevate this mint and forest green manicure, making it stylish and super-mod. The contrast of dark and light shades of green make it appropriate to wear anywhere, be it poolside in a tropical locale or strutting to work in the concrete jungle.
To get the look: Use Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer in Mint Chocolate Chip and Gotta Have Hue.

Mani of the Week: Navajo Inspired Nails
Why we love it: The vibrant amber perfectly complements the sapphire blue in this gorgeous Navajo-inspired pattern. To recreate it, you'll just need some stencils or tape and a steady hand. The attention-grabbing look is ideal for end-of-summer soirees and early fall fetes alike.
To get the look: Use China Glaze Nail Lacquer, $7.50, in Sultry Solstice and Simply Fa-Blue-Less.

Mani of the Week: Doc Marten Nails
Why we love it: Dig out your knee highs, body glitter and your marabou accessories. We're loving this '90s inspired manicure, reminiscent of your favorite pair of Doc Martens. Shiny black nails accented with vivid yellow stitching transport us to a time in our lives when "Clueless" was brand-new and it was still cool to say, "As if!"
To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer,$10.49, in I Just Can't Cope-acabana and Black Onyx.

Mani of the Week: NYFW Spring '18 Floral Nails
Why we love it: As Fall approaches, NYFW is here to remind us that lighter, brighter days lie ahead (even if the fashions aren't available until next year.) These delicate, pastel blue and metallic forest green flower motifs were spotted on the runways at Creatures of Comfort Spring/Summer 2018 and we're already dying to try them. Nude nails create the perfect canvas for blue and green -- or any color pairing you choose.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish,$18, in Blue Orchid and Laughin' To The Bank.
