Berry Aura

Aura nails are always a favorite. This manicure is particularly stunning, thanks to the beautiful blend of berry colors.

The absolute easiest way to amp up a single-color manicure is to play with the finish. In this case, a sparkly top coat adds some fun and whimsy to this raspberry-colored polish.

Berry Watercolor

To create a watercolor-like effect, as seen above, start with your go-to base coat before grabbing a bright and bold eyeshadow palette—yes, eyeshadow. Use a Q-tip to swirl different berry-colored shadows on top of the dried base coat. Set with a glossy top coat, and you’re good to go.

Geometric Berry

Geometric nail art can be difficult to DIY due to the need for super-straight lines and precision. But with the right tools, you can quickly bring this berry-inspired mani to life. To help keep things neat, use nail tape as a guide to create those perfect lines.
