Why we love it: The new year is here and after weeks of wearing high-heels and sequins on the holiday party circuit, why not try a more low-key source of inspiration for your next mani? Red, black and white checkered nails mimic the classic Vans motif -- but with a more feminine twist. The look sets a bold, bright, fun tone for the rest of 2018.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish,$8.50, in Jelly Apple, Licorice and Coconut Cove.
Why we love it: Part zig-zag, part lightning bolt and a splash of pop art, this manicure is loud and gorgeous. If you were an '80s or '90s kid, it may also remind you of cartoon rockstar extraordinaire, Jem and the Holograms.
To get the look: Use Orly Nail Lacquer,$6.50-$8.50, in Confetti, Crisp White, and Jet Black.
Why we love it: Who says you need to paint the entire nail to make a statement? We think these negative space nails with tiny flashes of lavender and black are equal parts bold, bad-ass and straight-up lovely.
Why we love it: We think bright, cheery nails make any day better. Just imagine looking down at these taffy-colored stripes for an instant mood boost. So long Monday blues.
Why we love it: Valentine's Day is right around the corner and we're enamored with this modern mani that uses all the love-inspired shades. Whether you have a date this year or are flying solo, you're sure to adore this cute, fresh take on heart nails.
To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer,$10.50, in Lisbon Wants Moor OPI, No Turning Back From Pink Street, OPI On Collins Ave., and Black Onyx.

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.
