Mani of the Week: Just a Splash of Orange
Why we love it: We're seeing orange everywhere this season (it's fall, after all). We love its unexpected appearance in this angular blue manicure. The vibrant tangerine hue outlines the negative space cutouts and adds depth and intricate detail that makes both shades pop. No need sport dark nails yet, we love these bright colors just as much.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Butler Please and Meet Me At Sunset.

Mani of the Week: Ultra-Chic Halloween Nails
Why we love it: Halloween is only two weeks away we're using this time to try out all of the fall nail looks. We especially love this use of the seasonal shades, in an unlikely pairing of matte and shiny. If you're not into pumpkins, ghosts and other Halloween nail art, try this matte black manicure topped with pretty orange and green holographic flake nail polish. The spook-tacular duo is a great way to celebrate the season, minus any kitsch and it's supereasy to recreate.
To get the look: Use China Glaze Nail Lacquer, in Shadies & Gentlemen $7.50, topped with ILNP Ultra Chrome Flakie Nail Polish, in Brilliance and Glory, $12.50.

Mani of the Week: Beautiful Butterflies
Why we love it: Monarch butterflies in different stages of flight add a touch of whimsy to nude nails. What better way to ring in the fall season than the clever use of Halloween hues on the wings of your favorite insect? Keep the orange or swap out for your favorite bold hue and watch your fingers come to life.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Meet Me At Sunset, Blanc and Licorice.

Mani of the Week: Native American Textiles
Why we love it: With the polishes hailing from OPI's Peru collection, this bold graphic design is reminiscent of Inca textiles, thanks to the use of pretty pastels and deep, vampy shades with a lot of contrast. The designs are crisp, clean and full of intricate details.
To get the look: Use OPI Infinite Shine, $8.99, in Machu Peach-U, My Solar Clock Is Ticking, Alpaca My Bags, Yes My Condor Can-Do! and Don't Toot My Flute.

Mani of the Week: Inspired By "Pretty Woman"
Why we love it: Negative space manicures are definitely having a moment right now and we're enamored with this peekaboo design by Bettina Goldstein. A beautiful burnt sienna hue hugs the curves of the nail, studded with miniature white dots. The look is inspired by the classic polka dot dress in one of our favorite rom-coms, "Pretty Woman." We can't decide if we like the movie or the mani more.
To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish, $9, in Very Structured, Blanc and Sheer Fantasy.
