We have a fickle, ambivalent relationship with nail art. Based on behind-the-scenes declarations from insiders who know, we've declared it dead and over. Kind've. Twice. (See: NYFW Trend Alert: Bare Nails Are In, Polish is Out.) Then we spy incredible, OTT manis, and we love it all over again for its cutting edge genius. Then we see 3-D nail art, and we're all ... love, hate, love hate again.
Lately, after taking over the beauty world for a few seasons, nail art has generally come to mean more OTT than edgy. But if you're not into the tiny painted puppies or Swarovski-encrusted designs that have taken over our Pinterest and Instagram feeds, we've got good news for you. Nail art is still very much a thing, and if you're taking your cue from the runways, the new nail art on trend for spring is much more subdued and, (dare we say it?), classy. Here's how to get six of our favorite, easy-to-re-create looks from fashion week -- and we solemnly promise, when you're all done, your nails won't look like they belong on a Lisa Frank folder.
