Why we love it: Sometimes day-glo nails are a bit too OTT for everyday wear. We're super into this pretty blue-gray manicure, kissed with swooshes of neon green. The lovely pastel hue is subtle enough to wear to work, but the electric lime accents make it fun and fabulous for a night out.
Why we love it: Spring showers means it's time to rock manis with flowers. We're especially drawn to this design that beautifully wraps around the exposed nude nail. It's clean, colorful and a quintessential springtime manicure.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Blanc, Licorice, Exposed, Find Me An Oasis, Pinkies Out, Chubby Cheeks, and Chillato.
Why we love it: This vibrant mani takes us back, back to our childhood and the carefree days of fun. Vivid orange, tomato and turquoise polish in a mix of graphic color blocking and polka dots bring back memories of pogs, Trapper Keepers, Lisa Frank and Nickelodeon. The colorfully, kitschy design is fun, fearless and a cute throwback to simpler times.
Why we love it: Nothing wrong with a little color... or a lot! This mani features several trends packed into one. The bright hues melt into a vivid ombre, which also happens to form a chevron design and features a negative space cutout at the cuticle with a tiny triangle inside. This bold look is sure to warm you up in anticipation of sunnier (and longer) days to come.
To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $10.50, in Hurry-juku Get this Color! and Samurai Breaks a Nail.
Why we love it: Like a French manicure, but better: Crisp swoops and swishes allow you creative freedom (as well as room for error). The bright pops of white are classic and clean like the classic French mani, albeit with an edgier twist. Try it in a vibrant shade or make each nail a different color for even more eye-catching impact.
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.
