Coral is a great way to experiment with colors that aren’t typically used. This shade is perfect if you want an orange that will also work as a neutral color and compliment a variety of looks. Mamey ($11) is a polish from Lights Lacquer’s Honeydew You Love Me collection.

Liquid Marble Nails

A solid monochromatic design is classic but you can also go for abstract designs. The marble effect is achieved by mixing multiple shades of orange polish with white. The negative space gives the impression that the swirls were dripping.

Shimmery floral Nails

The six shimmery shades from Cirque Colors’ Surfer’s Crush ($15) collection were used to create this floral French set. The neutral base of this design, along with the tropical flowers and gorgeous orange tips, is what makes it so beautiful. This design allows you to maximize the wear of your wig, since it is easier to detect if a fill-in is needed.

Designer Ode

Make a fashion statement by adding a designer charm. These Vivienne-Westwood nails are a tribute to the legend. To adhere charms such as this, use a strong adhesive like Makartt Rhinestone glue ($8).

Squiggly Nails

Matte neon squiggles make for ultra-cool nail designs. The thin strokes, neutral base and busy lines create a minimalist aesthetic. To achieve a uniform look, it is important to maintain consistency in the size of each line.

Orange Crescents

Who would have thought that pumpkin orange and baby pink could look so great together? The rounded edges extend up to the cuticle leaving approximately one-fourth open. This is a very unique, edgy design.

Radiant Gradient Nails

This gradient version of the classic French manicure will reinvent it. This ombre effect is created using Lights Laquer Nail Polish in Coney Island ($11) and Paper Snow ($11).
