7. LINE ART
Give your basic manicure an edge with this line art design. All you need to recreate this high-impact set is a fine brush tip and a steady hand. Let your imagination run wild with a mix of shades and shapes, and most importantly, the addition of hand-drawn faces.
8. FRENCH TIPS WITH A TWIST
Fact is — you can never go wrong with a classic french tip. But how about replacing them with brighter pops of neons or pastels? With unexpected accents, this unique twist on a familiar classic gives it a fresh look you’ll now want to flaunt.
9. TORTOISE SHELL
This season, tortoise shell is all the rage and it’s making waves on the Internet. Abstract but not sloppy, neutral but not understated, you can see why it’s so appealing to masses, especially on Instagram. If you’re doing it on your own, you only need three colours and a thin paintbrush.
10. COW PRINT
Moo-ve over — these cow print nails are making a comeback and we’re not mad about it. Try it on your long tips or even on short nails for a bold look. You never know, sometimes a bold manicure might just be what you need to update your post-Circuit Breaker look.
