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.
Why we love it: We love a good ombré manicure. But every now and again, someone comes along and introduces us to a new twist on the classic that is just really, really cool. These pretty pastel nails, inspired by Kawaii, the Japanese culture of all things cute, feature a circular, rather than a linear gradient. Utilizing colors from OPI's Spring 2019 Tokyo Collection, it starts with a pretty bubblegum pink at the center of the nail and diffuses into the perfect shade of periwinkle. These tips are totally cute and sure to garner attention.
To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $10.50, in Kanpai OPI and Another Ramen-tic Evening.
