People always recommend steering clear of trends and sticking with the classics. And while that may work for some, it’s never stuck with me. And since this post deals with nail art as the latest trend to sweep the beauty world right off its feet…I say, go with your big bad self and be trendy! There’s no better or cheaper way to do it than with your nails for these two reasons alone: 1. they always fit, even when you indulge on the weekend and 2. once you get bored, you can just remove the nail art. Talk about avoiding buyer’s remorse!

Here are some of my favorite looks:

I never met a metallic I didn’t like. Gold nails scream “fierce.” Like Beyonce. All you need is a monochromatic outfit like all black and you can rock this look from day into night!

Mint is really big right now and so are polka dots. While I know this nail art wouldn’t last as long as a regular manicure; it’s fun and cheery. This is the perfect look for a GNO or vacation when you are easiest on your hands {read: no typing or cooking}

If you know anything about me; you know that I love cupcakes. And even though this “trend” is out and donuts are in “in” – you won’t win this girl over. I am a cupcake girl through and through. Not only are these nails my favorite of all the images but they are truly a work of art. Look at the workmanship! Do you think they can do this in a no-chip?

I said it before and I’ll say it again – polka dots are HOT! You could really wear this nail art in any color combo…it never gets old. I love this look equally for its retro glamour and for it’s lady like appearance. Pencil skirt anyone?

And here’s a handy-dandy little “how to” for y’all. {If only my nails were in this great of shape on the reg}

What’s your go-to design? Are you into nail art?
