Mani of the Week: Feelin' Fishy
Created by: @vanityprojectsmia

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.

Mani of the Week: Bountiful Butterflies

Why we love it: Spring is winding down and summer will be here before we know it — so here's another pretty pastel manicure. The lovely lilac French tips create a beautiful canvas for butterfly nail decals. Simply line the tips with the color of your choice, apply the stickers and seal with a shiny layer of topcoat. Voila!

To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $13, in Do You Lilac It?.

Mani of the Week: A Mani for Memorial Day
Created by: @thehangedit

Why we love it: Happy Memorial Day! Today we honor the men and women who bravely fought for our country. What better way to commemorate such courage than a red, blue and striped patriotic manicure? The bold bars of color look ultrachic with negative space cutouts and tiny stars.

To get the look: Use Orly Nail Polish, $9.50, in It's Brittney, Beach, Muy Caliente, and Frenemy.

Mani of the Week: Dreamy Diagonals

Why we love it: Where do you draw the line on style? These pretty metallic pastels are just the ticket! A stylish transition from spring to summer, these shimmery, ethereal hues with angled tips are fun, flirty and oh-so-chic. The unicorn-esque periwinkle base is on-trend and perfect for whatever your summer has in store.

To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Tiers of Joy, Reign Check, and Stirring Secrets.

Mani of the Week: Delightful Drips
Created by: @tinybrushes

Why we love it: This week's mani is a playful mix of delicate black and white grid designs topped with asymmetrical drippy orange tips. It's fresh, modern and a pleasant deviation from the floral manicures dominating our feeds. Grab yourself a stiff, narrow brush and try to recreate these graphic wonders (it's not as hard as you think!), or run to your manicurist to copy the designs ASAP.

To get the look: Use Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear, $2.99, in Black Out, White On, and Sun Kissed.

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.
