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.
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.
Why we love it: Summer is officially here and we're coming at you strong with some bright, fresh manicures to fit the season. Let's kick it off with this pretty negative space manicure, in hues reminiscent of our fave bikinis or pool toys. Light blue, mauve and purple with tiny slashes of nude nail make a perfect transition manicure from spring to summer. Try it in your three favorite hues for a vibrant look that is equal parts fun and on-trend.
To get the look: Use Orly Nail Polish, $9.50, in On Your Wavelength, Cupcake and Feeling Free.
Why we love it: Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? When you like hues of purple, the answer is no. This gradient manicure features shades ranging from the faintest pastel iteration of the hue to a vibrant fuchsia. Try this with your collection of purple polishes or any color family that tickles your fancy. It's an impactful manicure that's super easy to recreate.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Flowerista, Playdate, Splash Of Grenadine, Lilacism and Goginza.
Why we love it: June is Pride Month and this is one mani we'd certainly be proud to rock! The nude base provides ample contrast to the vibrant mix of vertical, horizontal and diagonal stripes. Whether you're headed to your local Pride parade or festival, or simply showing your support, this is one adorably happy rainbow mani!
To get the look: Use The Gel Bottle Inc., $19, in Nude, African Sunset, Pacific, Mustard, Bonfire and Jet Black.
