Checkered Past

The design works in any color combo, so choose what flatters your aesthetic.

Noneutral French manicureshere.
The high-wattage colors in this classic design make it even more eye-catching.

Mix and match the colors across both hands or use unique shades on each nail.
Yet somehow the look still feels very current.
Bits and Blobs
You wont be able to stop touching the cool texture on these 3D nails.

Hot Tip
Does this count as a double rainbow?
@bhambnails/Instagram
Adouble linemakes this spin on a French mani twice as nice.
Simply start by painting your normal French tips.
Then, trace the bottom curve with the same color in a brighter shade to give it added definition.

Uncut Gems
There are no rough cuts here!
These geometric tips are reminiscent of gems found in nature.
To give the illusion of a multidimensional look, pair multiple shades of the same hue in each design.
@heygreatnails/Instagram
Can’t pick just one muted tone?
Alternate between five different colors nail to nail.
