Quilted Cuteness
Looks tricky, but trust us, it’s way simple. While the second one is setting, press lines diagonally using a ruler. Too easy not to try.

Monkeying Around
Confession: We’re big Paul Frank fans. And when we found out about their nail collab with Lotta Luv, we were beyond stoked for our nail art schemes. Mix ‘n’ match these playful designs for all things fab.

Line Up
A mani that requires going outside the lines? We’re in. Paint half of your nail one color, then the other another color. Let dry. Take a thin paintbrush and dash alternating horizontal lines across the center of your nail. Messy never looked so good.

By Moonlight
Don’t let the wintry white fool you—metallics are having a serious moment this season. Paint your silvery backdrop, then swoop a half moon on the side of your nail. So chic.
