Mani of the Week: Bold Colors FTW
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.

Mani of the Week: Simply Swirled
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.
To get the look: Use Deco Miami Nail Lacquer, $8, in Coco.

Mani of the Week: Kawaii Ombré Nails
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.

Mani of the Week: Pretty Polka Dots
Why we love it: Spring is less than a month away — which means it's time to break out the pretty pastels. Lavender, almond-shaped nails are a fun mix of feminine meets fierce. The lovely lilac hue creates a sharp contrast against the dainty black dots tracing along the cuticle line. Grab a toothpick or a nail dotting tool and try your hand at this super simple nail art that looks anything but.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Just The Way You Arctic and Licorice.

Mani of the Week: Contemporary Cows
Why we love it: We're loving this fun, femme mix of cow print designs with splashes of color. No need for both hands to be matchy-matchy. Try the cow print on one hand and incorporate the bovine-inspired design into modern swirls of pastel pink and juicy orange on the other.
To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $10.50, in It's In The Cloud, Pink Ladies Rule the School, Black Onyx and Summer Lovin' Having a Blast!
