Mani of the Week: Gemstone and Gold Bedecked Nude Nails
Why we love it: Let your hands do the talking with this conversation starter. The addition of 3D gold decals and colorful gems gives classic nude nails a trendy, blingy twist. Safe for the office, but enough edge for any special occasion. Make it your own by designing each nail slightly different.
To get the look: Use Nails Inc. Nail Polish,$15, in Elizabeth Street, Nails Inc. Fash Pack Nail Tattoos, $12, superglue and variety of flat-back rhinestones and pearls.

Mani of the Week: Two-Toned Deep Red Nails
Why we love it: Whether you're actually starting to enjoy crisp Fall weather, or only dreaming of being able to wear your favorite sweaters, you'll definitely appreciate this Fall-hued manicure. Vampy, matte oxblood nails, accented with a sliver of crimson are wickedly cool and remind us of other red fall faves -- apples, fallen leaves, and cranberries just to name a few.
To get the look: Use Orly Nail Lacquer,$8.50, in Just Bitten and Haute Red, finished off with Orly Matte Top, $11.

Mani of the Week: BCA Nails with Geometric Accents
Why we love it: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It affects one in eight women -- which means just about everyone will know someone in their lifetime who has been touched by the disease. Show your solidarity in style (no pink ribbons necessary) with this icy pink mani, balanced by an indigo blue linear design. It's feminine, modern and unexpected.
To get the look: Use OPI Infinite Shine Nail Lacquer,$12.50, in Suzi & The Arctic Fox and Reykjavik Has All the Hot Spots.

Mani of the Week: Fall-Hued Floral Nails
Why we love it: When you think of floral nails, you typically think spring or summer. Not in this case. Floral nails look stunning in fall-friendly shades like cherry red accented in bubblegum pink, black and white. The clean designs lend a nice pop of color on a dreary fall day.
To get the look: Use Julep Nail Color, $14, in Fran, Lottie, Vicki and Jet.

Mani of the Week: Delicate Leaf Designs
Why we love it: Winter white nails make an impact with cold months ahead. Black foliage motifs on a creamy white base creates a dreamy combination, paired with your favorite fuzzy sweater. The stark contrast makes the designs pop, yet the colors are neutral enough to pair with most anything.
To get the look: Use Cirque Colors Nail Lacquers,$12.50, in Don't Forget the Cannoli and Memento Mori.
