Nails
13 Best Nail Designs (For the 30+ Set)There's more to nail art than rhinestone flowers and glittery tips. Proof: These nail designs are perfect for grown-ups and suitable for even the stuffiest offices |
Lie detector nails These are definitely eye-catching (don't they remind you of the squiggles on a lie detector test?), but the dark base color keeps it chic. And while it looks complicated, this design is actually pretty easy to execute. Paint a base coat (you could do a dark shade like this or a more muted one if you want less of a contrast). Then, use a small brush, like the Orly Detailer Brush, $15, to paint squiggly lines across your nail. Vary the size of the squiggles and number of lines to keep the pattern interesting. And don't worry if it doesn't look perfect, that's kind of the point.

Loved almost all of these :) But my favorite by far is the Jade Camo one. I LOVE how it looks!!! FYI I am in my late 30's and still do a lot of nali art.

Very nice. Why can't you be over 30 and wear it? Just because you're older, doesn't mean you're dead!

You are never too old for nail art, but keep it fun and not all crazy looking!!!

I could see some of these working but I am not a big fan of nail art at the office.

The single stand out would have to be my favorite very classy!
