<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With enough patience, this one’s simple to recreate at home: Choose a base color, then layer thin lines of contrasting polish in an eccentric plaid print. Sweet ’90s nostalgia never looked so good.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s also tough to go wrong with a classic cheetah or leopard print, and\u00a0this nostalgic design plays well with an elongated, 2000s-era square shape. Major Cheetah Girls<\/em> vibes, incoming.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Semi-sheer polishes add a porcelain vibe to a classic mani formula. Start with a mix of French tips and all-over ivory polish, then add soft washes of blue in the shape of petals. (Use a detail brush to outline those flowers in a darker cobalt.) If you’re missing The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em>‘s infinite coastal aesthetics, this one’s for you.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Western trend is alive and well, and we’re taking those rough-and-tumble vibes into the winter months. Sultry and fashion-forward, this look is among our favorite takes on snakeskin yet.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Missing summer already? Brown gingham transitions your warm-weather memories into an autumnal palette, while light blue stars add a rockstar quality to a quintessentially sweet plaid. Pull it all together with a smattering of small rhinestones.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Floral designs can be tricky, and French tips already mean that you’re working with limited design space. Color outside the lines with a freeform French\u2014faking the design with floral stickers along the tips\u2014for a look that captures the brightest blooms.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Put that polish down, flip it, and reverse it: An all-over tortoiseshell print combined with classic white tips inverts the usual dynamic. Work with light, translucent layers of caramel and brown polish for a chic fall print.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It’s a Fran Fine fall, and we’re dressing the part with printed French tips. If you’re attempting this look on your own, have no fear: Houndstooth is created from a simple grid of lines and filled-in boxes, so anything’s possible with a steady hand.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Craving the fun feel of animal print, but in a slightly more reserved format? Select an ultra-thin French manicure instead. It’s pared-back enough for the boardroom, but still has plenty of personality.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
