The 2016 nail trends you *need* to try
2015 was a big year for nails—coffins, bubbles, stilettos, oh my!—but 2016 is going to be even bigger. This year, beauty babes are moving the focus away from shapes and toward designs. Yep, nail art is coming back in a big way, and we could not be more into it. Check out our five fave new looks below.

-
Watercolor
Go the Monet mani route for pretty spring nails. (Plus, it's surprisingly easy—but don't worry, we won't tell!). Get the how to HERE.
-
Outline
This design has been all over the runways. To DIY it, simply outline your mani with a nail art pen. Even cooler? Shake things up with a variation on the trend, like polka dots.
-
Minimalist
How cool are these geo-inspired nails? Just use black and white nail pens and let your creativity take over.
-
Matte
Matte lips had a huge moment in 2015, and the trend is trickling down to tips in a major way this year. The best part? It's so easy. Just get a matte top coat (like this one) and paint over any of your go-to shades.
-
Gemstone
Who needs expensive jewelry when you can rock a gemstone mani? We're loving this chunky turquoise look. Get the how-to HERE.
