Mani of the Week: Festive Fall Flair
Created by: @ohlalanails

Why we love it: You can never have enough sparkle! Deep, vampy burgundy is awakened with flashes of bold bronze glitter and OTT gemstone appliques. It's a fab way to rock a darker, dramatic hue while adding some festive glimmer. Try this with any dark and light polish pairing for a one-of-a-kind twist on a fall mani.

To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Summit of Style, and Bordeaux.

Mani of the Week: 70s Fall Florals
Created by: @nails_by_nicki

Why we love it: Fall is officially here! Time to bring out the spicy-scented candles and start sipping those PSLs. If you're looking for a bright, sunny take on fall hues, look no further than this mod, 70s-inspired, floral manicure. The mix of orange, cream, brown and yellow is a fun and flashy way to transition to this soon-to-be-cold season.

To get the look: Use CND Shellac, $13.99, in Naked Naivete, Gotcha, Gypsy, Mambo Beat, Taxi Please, and Arrowhead.

Mani of the Week: Not-so-Basic Black
Created by: @nail_unistella

Why we love it: Halloween will be here before we know it. As we make the transition from summer brights to the deep, vampy shades of fall, this emo black mani is just the ticket. Nude nails kissed with matte black squiggles help us bridge the gap between the seasons. It's also the perfect way to introduce all the spooky, pumpkin- and ghoul-themed manicures we'll be seeing throughout the next month. Grab your fave nail brush and some matte black polish to recreate this simple-yet-effective DIY mani.

To get the look: Use Jin Soon Nail Polish, $18, in Absolute Black, topped with Matte Maker Top Coat.

Mani of the Week: Whimsy & Wonder
Created by: @nails_by_nicki

Why we love it: Black and white checkers meet rainbows — and these two prints couldn't create a more fun effect! Bold black and white melds perfectly with cutesy candy-colored creams. The delightful pairing is unexpected, fresh and uber-detailed. This cool mix of patterns knows no season — and can take you from hot to cold weather (and vice versa).

To get the look: Use CND Shellac, $13.99, in Jellied, Shells in the Sand, Taffy, Be Demure, Cream Puff, and Black Pool.

Mani of the Week: Gorgeously Gilded
Created by: @bettina_goldstein

Why we love it: Truly a transitional color that works for most any season, gold elevates just about everything it touches. We love this warm golden-copper manicure, with the top 2/3 of the nail painted, and a flash of negative space half-moons exposed along the cuticle. Wherever life takes you, this glimmering gold mani adds just the right amount of opulence to your fingertips.

To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in What's Gold Is New.

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.
