Start by using a solid black polish to sketch out your swirly nail art.

Once that has fully dried, seal it in with a top coat and holographic powder.

Turn your nails into literal works of art with this photo frame-inspired mani.

The gold trim and floral designs give it a vintage feel.

But our favorite part is the intricate floral designs placed in the center of each nail.

It’s in the same color family but the hyper-shiny finish adds a little more pizazz.

To create the exact look above, use Death Valley Nails polish in shade Nostalgia.

Believe it or not, this is to DIY.

Start with a clear or nude base polish.

Then cut an animal printnail wrapin half and carefully place it on one side of your nail.

What makes this look all the more cool is the clear base for a negative space design.

If you want a more literal finished look, opt for a white base.

For a subtle, sheer veil of color, apply one to two coats.

If you’re a super peach fan, layer on the coats to saturate the color.

These almond-shaped nails appear to be dipped in moss, and we love the nature-themed mani for autumn.

These deepburgundy nailsare so dreamy and romantic.

What really makes this manicure standout is the polish’s velvety texture.

There is no denying fall is the season for all things spooky.

This shortmilky maniwith an accent 3D spider nail is a grown-up and minimal way to show yourHalloween spirit.

The shiny 3D design against the matte base is a great way to keep monochromatic nails from appearing flat.

It’s versatile, chic, and different.

Green Marble Short Nails

Various shades of green give these short nails a marble or smoky illusion.

The design was inspired by the Lunar New Year, but they can be worn throughout any season.

L-Shape Short Nails

When we say minimal accents, this is what we mean.

From the neutral sheer base to the perfectly shapedsquare nails, this manicure has sharp, clean edges.

But it wouldn’t be complete without a precise black L on one corner of the tip.

3D Liquid Nails

Playing with textures never gets old.

The best part, however, is the liquid-like3D texturesin clear and soft gold.

What’s especially fitting for fall is the richness of the colors.

The pearlescent finish gives it an almost candy-like feel.

A perfectly executed classicno notes!

We love the contrast between the clean aesthetic and a pop of bold color.

Add as many strokes of vibrant hues as you like to personalize the artsy result.

Never underestimate the range of one color.

Sure, gradient or ombre designs can add dimension, but solid opaque strokes are always in.

The glittery polish takes the design over the top and even gives a hint of glam.
