Mani of the Week: Metallic, Multicolor Tips
Created by: @flowidity108

Why we love it: The holidays will be here before we know it -- and with them come fabulous soirees and opportunities to display your affinity for all things sparkly. Whether you're looking for holiday party inspiration or you just really, really love glitter, this chic, celebratory design is equal parts festive and sophisticated. Either way, vibrant diagonal tips on top of nude nails are perfect for a holiday fête or an everyday celebration of the little things -- like a fresh manicure.

To get the look: Use Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish in Baby Love, $18, topped with Across the Universe, $20, and accented with colorful nail foils.

Created by: @ninanailedit

Why we love it: The mix of colors, textures and finishes in this mani is bright and cheery for fall. The statement cable-knit design on the middle finger is surrounded by matte grey, mauve and glittery rose gold -- a combination that's sure to add a little extra pizazz to your favorite fuzzy sweater and boot combo.

To get the look: Use Kiara Sky Nail Lacquers,$8.50, in Road Trip and Pure White. Le Chat Nobility Nail Lacquer,$5, in Bridesmaids. Red Carpet Manicure Nail Lacquer, $13, in Glasses Up!. And Vetro Gel Matte Top Coat,$15.

Created by: @smithandcult

Why we love it: Looking for something a little festive in time for Thanksgiving that doesn't require painting pumpkins or turkeys on your nails? These demure nude nails with deep red dots along the nailbed look superchic and are simple to DIY. When the big day comes, you can spend less time worrying about your nails and more time focusing on the delicious foods you are going to eat.

Mani of the Week: Christmas Ornament Stripes
Created by: @aliciatnails

Why we love it: These soft blue and shimmery gold stripes pop against a natural nail backdrop. The look is clean, minimal and festive -- and oh-so easy to achieve. This simple, holiday-inspired look can be pulled off with two colors of polish and some nail tape for clean lines. Plus, no grow out lines to give your mani's freshness away means you can wear this one without a touch-up for at least a couple of weeks.

To get the look: Use Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish,$18, in Blue Orchid and Can't Be Tamed.

Mani of the Week: Periwinkle Peekaboo Nails
Created by: @paintboxnails

Why we love it: It may be cold and dreary outside, but your mani doesn't need to reflect that. A coat of periwinkle polish accented with colorful peekaboo foils gives a nice punch of color to perk you up from a winter slump.

To get the look: Use China Glaze Nail Lacquer,$7.50, in Secret Peri-Wink-le and multicolored nail foils.

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.
