Mani of the Week: Rose Quartz Nails
Created by: @nailthoughts

Why we love it: This realistic take on the popular love stone looks adorable on nails. Try it as a detailed, slightly blingy upgrade from a neutral pink mani. From the delicate, hand-painted swirls to the kiss of gold shimmer, we think this manicure really rocks.

To get the look: Use Essie Gel Couture, $11.50, in Sheer Fantasy and Pre-Show Jitters, topped with strategically placed gold nail foil. Peep this tutorial for how to get the rose quartz details. Voila!

Mani of the Week: Fresh Squeezed Nail Art

Why we love it: This zesty manicure is all about the sun-kissed citrus fruit. We love the pairing of the bright yellow lemon slices with solid turquoise nails. The combo is reminiscent of a road trip down the Amalfi Coast of Italy — where citrus groves hug the cliffs that overlook an endless turquoise sea. A sunny nod to summer along the horizon.

To get the look: Use Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear,$2.99, in Mellow Yellow, Big Teal and White Out.

Why we love it: If you're like us, you love anything that sparkles and these glitter nails are truly for a special occasion or any time you crave a notice-me mani. Each nail has a different base color — which is where you can totally customize the look. Top off half of each nail with a gorgeous glitter of your choosing for some extra bling. Try the look for your next birthday bash.

To get the look: Use Julep Nail Polish, $14, in Raegan, Mallory, Isabella, Sophia, Jenna, Addison, Amy and topped with Jin Soon Glitter Nail Polish, $20, in Shake It.

Why we love it: Music festival season is upon us — and that means fun and fantastical manicures for everyone. The blend of creamy pastel shades looks heavenly as a backdrop for tiny gold stars. Try it before your next music fest — or as a gorgeous spring mani.

To get the look: Use Essie Nail Enamel, $9, in Find Me An Oasis, Romper Room and Chillato.

Mani of the Week: Modern Line Designs
Created by: @spifster

Why we love it: These ever-so-thin, freehand lines create delicate, yet edgy works of art on your fingertips. They're modern art — meets Tron. If you mess up a little, just work it into the design — it will look intentional.

To get the look: Use Orly Nail Lacquer,$9.50, in Summer Fling, Sea You Soon, Life's A Beach, Road Trippin, Choreographed Chaos and Liquid VInyl.

Nail art is one of those photogenic beauty trends that we could look at all day long. Somehow, scrolling through photos of nail art designs whipped up by nail art icons like Deborah Lippmann, Jin Soon and Paintbox is simply addictive — whether we plan to execute the nail design ideas or not.

That's why we're bringing you our #ManicureMonday series — where we show you the simple nail art, endless nail design ideas and other ridiculously pretty nails that we're finding and loving.
