Mani of the Week: Dreamy Diagonals
Created by: @amytran

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.

Mani of the Week: Pretty in Pink
Created by: @missladyfinger

Why we love it: We're really digging the color combination in this spring-y, flower-bedecked manicure. Bubblegum pink is the perfect feminine base color for tiny, floral accents in mustard yellow, teal, lavender and hot pink... and extra points for matching the mani to the ensemble.

To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Need a Vacation, Mod Square, Fall for NYC, Go Overboard, and Dress Call.

Mani of the Week: Simply Swirled
Created by: @jessicawashick

Why we love it: A fun and fabulous twist on nude nails, we love this combination of peach and greige nail polishes, especially with its potent pops of black. The bold waves add tons of contrast, setting off these wild designs to excellent effect. Not so neutral after all.

To get the look: Use Orly Breathable Treatment + Color, $9.99, in Adventure Awaits, Marine Layer and Mind Over Matter.

Mani of the Week: Totally Trippy
Created by: @nailsbymh

Why we love it: Take a trip back to the 70s with these tie-dyed designs, mixing mint, turquoise and purple into one psychedelic swirl. Even though Coachella just ended, summer music festivals are still getting into full swing. Run to your nail artist to copy these designs before you hit your next outdoor music fest—they're sure to be a hit.

To get the look: Use Orly Nail Polish, $9.50, in Purple Crush, Grape, Frisky, True Blue and Jealous Much.

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.
