15 Nail Art Trends To Bring To Your Next Manicure

We've all been there before: we walk into a salon with an idea of what nail art we want, but once faced with the walls and endless pages of possible nail colors and art options we completely freeze up. Our minds immediately go blank and in a frenzied panic, we choose a color that we decide we hate mid-nail application (or when we get home). Manis are expensive and can take some time. So, to get one that you're not head-over-heels in love with, is one of life's greatest squanders of opportunity. You'll be stuck with them for at least a week or maybe two if they're gel and you resist picking them off.

There's no need for that in this day and age. Crazy things can be done on our tiny nail canvases now, we're still trying to wrap our minds around all of the possibilities. From 3D sets to Kendall Jenner and Ariana Grande-approved manis, your nails could be the blank page for the next big masterpiece. Screenshot these 15 manicures for inspiration when you book your next manicure appointment, it's a guaranteed strategy for getting a manicure you'll actually love.
