    1. If you're a fan of colored tips, here's an easy way to do something just a bit different — make 'em supa thick.

    2. You know this pin hack for making perfect dots — now take it to the next level by creating a field of flowers.

    3. So much nail art is round and circular — why not try something square and edgy?

    4. A splatter-paint look looks perfectly '80s when you use white splatter on top.

    5. If you're a fan of the full-hand ombré, here's a cool way to organize your colors — work from the outside in.

    6. Heard of using foil in a mani? It's super easy and creates a really artistic look.

    7. This trippy swirl is deceptively easy and totally Hitchcockian.

    8. Those charms are really cool, but those large dots of color that aren't quite half-moons could become your new go-to design.

    9. Jazz up a basic mani with micro charms or jewels — at either the tip or base of your nail.

    10. If you're into using decals and or flash tattoos, take them beyond your nail and create a faux ring motif.

    11. Another simple but neat ombré idea — do a reverse, but on only a couple nails.

    12. Try out nail art on a nude nail. (Creates less work for you, too.)

    13. This rad design takes the idea of the popular half-moon and puts them at the side of the nail instead of the center/base.
