The best time to use these designs is when you want to add a touch of elegance and sophistication to your look. They are perfect for formal events, job interviews, or any other situation where you want to make a good impression. Additionally, these designs are great for those who want to keep their nails low-maintenance and easy to take care of.

French Manicure

A French manicure is always a classic choice, and it can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. For a timeless look, go with a nude or pale pink polish on the nails, and add a thin white border at the tips.

Ombre Manicure

An ombre manicure is another classic choice that always looks elegant. For a chic ombre manicure, start with a light color at the base of the nail and gradually fade into a darker color at the tips.

Glitter Manicure

A glitter manicure is a perfect way to add some glamour to any look. One of our favorite ways to do a glitter manicure is to use neutral colors like champagne or gold, and choose glitter in a similar shade. This will give you an understated look that will still sparkle.

Striped Manicure

A striped manicure is a fun way to add some interest to your nails. To make this super chic, use two similar colors and keep the stripes thin. This will give you an elegant look that’s still playful.

Polka Dot Manicure

Polka dots are another fun way to add some flair to your nails. We love using small dots in two shades of the same color. This will give you an eye-catching mani without being too over-the-top.
