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.

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.

Mani of the Week: Feelin' Fishy

Why we love it: We're absolutely obsessed with this multifaceted manicure! The extreme attention to detail with blue gradient dots is a masterpiece in itself — and it provides a beautiful, bubbly background. The goldfish, however, are the true stars of the show: The delicate designs flutter freely across the teensy canvases for a look that's equal parts fun and whimsical. I guess you could say we're hooked on these fishy designs!

To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $10.50 in Black Onyx, I Cannoli Wear OPI, Pants On Fire!, No Tan Lines, Do You Sea What I Sea?, Rich Girls & Po-Boys and Gelato On My Mind.

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.
