Way beyond the half-moon manicure
You’re a trendy lady who’s known for her impeccably polished tips. You rocked a reverse-French mani before it was cool—and have had every iteration of the half-moon out there. But what’s next? Here, five designs (straight from top salons and the pros) to inspire your fall nail art.
SCALLOPED CUTICLE ART
Cuticle art is nothing new, but add those charming scalloped edges and you’ve got yourself one ladylike look.
FLOATING SPOTS
Also know as: the easiest DIY mani ever. In no particular order or pattern, drop a few dots of polish onto the corners of each nail bed. Then seal it all in with a glossy topcoat.
SPLIT-TIP COLORBLOCKING
A color-blocked French mani hits the sweet spot of being simple and chic yet still exciting to look at.
GEOMETRIC LINES
You already know that a clean line down the middle of your nail is elongating. A second line in a contrasting color adds edge.
GEODE NAIL
It’s not just a trend in wedding cakes. The sparkly crystalized rocks have a similarly mesmerizing effect on your nails, too.
