Mani of the Week: Sheer, Sparkly and Sweet
Created by: @deco.miami

Why we love it: Jelly nails certainly had a moment earlier this year and the trend is still going strong. This summer, we've seen the revival of 90s glitter jelly shoes (c'mon, you remember them!)... as well as the sheer, shimmery polishes to match. This mani highlights three gorgeous shades by Deco Miami, featuring alternating colors on each nail. We love how simple this manicure is — and it represents a fun yet understated way to rock glitter IRL.

To get the look: Use Deco Miami Nail Lacquer, $8-12/ea, in Lashes & Diamonds, ATM Machines, As If, and Cute But Psycho.

Mani of the Week: French Tips With a Twist
Created by: @paintboxnails

Why we love it: This look is sweet, feminine and it literally goes with everything. Think of it as an update on a French manicure: The two-toned pastel pink and white half and half mani takes the pretty hues of the signature tipped-manicure and turns it into a more modern look, with the blurring of borders. We especially like the addition of the mini pearl embellishments for a pop of 3D texture and extra shine.

To get the look: Use ORLY Nail Polish, $9.50, in Confetti & White Tips.

Mani of the Week: Buzzy, Busy and Beautiful
Created by: @nailditbyalyssa

Why we love it: This manicure definitely deserves a double (and triple) take! There are so many fine details that elevate the look. We're feeling the summer-friendly combo of bright mauve-y pink paired with cherry red, lemony yellow and cobalt blue. And who says you can't pair stripes with polka dots? This mani proves the two patterns are a match made in heaven.

To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $10.50, in Just Lanai-ing Around, Madam President, Turn on the Northern Lights & I Just Can't Cope-Acabana.

Mani of the Week: Stunning Squiggles
Created by: @purplenailbox

Why we love it: Abstract nails are hot RN and this colorful mani is the perfect embodiment of the style. We love the playful mix of bright, summery hues and bold, cloud-like designs. Try 'em for a special occasion, like your next vacation, or a fun, summer fete. They're sure to make the experience even more memorable.

To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9.50, in Bikini so Teeny, Butler Please, Play Date, Geranium, Tart Deco, Pret-a-Surfer and Chillato.

Mani of the Week: Slithering Citrus
Created by: @imarinails

Why we love it: Neon manis are trending this summer and we're all for it. If you're looking to rock a bright color in a more subtle way, try these snakelike stripes. The neon orange pops against the nude nail and makes for a simple DIY mani. Try it yourself — or with your favorite high contrast hue for a fun, glow-y summer manicure.

To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $10.50, in Pants on Fire.

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.
