Why we love it: When you think of Fall accessories, oversized tortoiseshell glasses often come to mind. The pattern transcends eyewear alone and makes for a unique, detailed mani. The layering of black and brown polishes topped with a sheer amber topcoat is a fun, simple way to recreate the iconic design. If you love a good leopard mani but are looking to change things up, now's the time to give tortoise shell a try.
To get the look: Use OPI Nail Lacquer, $9-$10.50, in Squeaker Of The House, Black Onyx and I'm Never Amberrassed.
Why we love it: If you're looking for a festive mani fit for a turkey dinner, look no further! These nude nails, topped with beautiful fall foliage nail art, are simple, tasteful and fittingly festive. The mix of creme and shimmer polishes from Essie's Fall 2018 collection provides the perfect palette for creating autumnal leaves. Just pair it with your favorite cozy sweater and boots — and you're officially ready for Thanksgiving.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Say It Ain't Soho, Fall For NYC, Stop, Drop and Shop and Licorice.
Why we love it: It's been extra cold and dark lately (thanks to the end of Daylight Savings), but that doesn't mean our nails need to reflect our surroundings or sleepy demeanor. Why not try a geographic, pop-art inspired manicure that looks like it jumped off the pages of a comic book and onto your fingertips? Pretty splashes of shiny red mix with pops of nude and crisp black outlines (plus, we love the use of negative space). Each nail is slightly different from the next, which'll encourage your friends to get up close and check out the details.
To get the look: Use Jin Soon Nail Polish, $18, in Ardor, Absolute Black and Nostalgia.
Why we love it: The seasons are changing — so are our nail polish choices. We're smitten with this blue-gray hue, accented in cream and white. The mix of colorblocking, negative space and tiny striping details make us yearn to cozy up in our favorite sweater (PSL in hand) and brave the chilly outdoors.
To get the look: Use KL Polish, $9.50, in Paper Snow, Wishbone and Cozy in There?.
Why we love it: It's here. Halloween is this week and we're psyched. This blood drip manicure is the perfect way to end the month of creepy cool Halloween nail art. Iridescent, opal polish makes the perfect shimmery base while deep, metallic crimson creates realistic droplets of blood. The darling duo of polishes looks amazing worn separately or together in this frighteningly festive design.
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.
