Mismatched Colors

Can’t decide between two deliciously sweet pastels? Wear one on your right hand and another on your left. Problem solved.

Minimalist Sparkle

Well, those are two words we never thought we’d pair together. A simple vertical line makes glitter feel grown-up. Just put a piece of tape on either side of your nail for a foolproof stencil.

Mellow Yellow

This buttery hue is trending big-time, and we happen to think it’s the perfect summer shade: sunshine in a bottle.

Picasso Art

Thin black lines on a solid nude base means they go with literally every sundress in your closet.

Dainty Florals

Flowers for summer? Groundbreaking. But when done with a teeny-tiny brush on a neutral base coat, they actually are.
