If you were an '80s or '90s kid, it may also remind you of cartoon rockstar extraordinaire, Jem and the Holograms. To get the look: Use Orly Nail Lacquer,$6.50-$8.50, in Confetti, Crisp White, and Jet Black. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Off the Wall Nails

Mani of the Week: Off the Wall Nails Created by: @stephstonenails Why we love it: The new year is here and after weeks of wearing high-heels and sequins on the holiday party circuit, why not try a more low-key source of inspiration for your next mani? Red, black and white checkered nails mimic the classic Vans motif -- but with a more feminine twist. The look sets a bold, bright, fun tone for the rest of 2018. To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish,$8.50, in Jelly Apple, Licorice and Coconut Cove. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Shades of Violet

Mani of the Week: Shades of Violet Created by: @heynicenails Why we love it: Pantone just announced that Ultraviolet is the new color of the year. Why not ring in 2018 with a mani showcasing multiple shades of the purple hue? This geometric color-blocking is bright, fun and perfectly festive for NYE. To get the look: Use Zoya Nail Polish,$10, in Abby, Tara, Perrie and Goldie. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Twinkling Tinsel Nails

Mani of the Week: Twinkling Tinsel Nails Created by: @nailsbyharlig Why we love it: Forest green nails are perfect for this time of year -- not too over-the-top, but still celebratory. Topped with free-form splatters of metallic copper and gold glitter, this mani resembles a Christmas tree bedecked with shiny things. Perfect for all of the holiday soirees you'll be attending throughout the month -- and supersimple to do yourself. To get the look: Use Essie Nail Polish,$8.50-$9, in Off Tropic, Penny Talk and Summit of Style. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Periwinkle Peekaboo Nails

Mani of the Week: Periwinkle Peekaboo Nails Created by: @paintboxnails Why we love it: It may be cold and dreary outside, but your mani doesn't need to reflect that. A coat of periwinkle polish accented with colorful peekaboo foils gives a nice punch of color to perk you up from a winter slump. To get the look: Use China Glaze Nail Lacquer,$7.50, in Secret Peri-Wink-le and multicolored nail foils. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Movember Manicure

Mani of the Week: Movember Manicure Created by: @melcisme For this week's nail art design, we're getting in on the Movember action with this adorable mustache manicure (because tossing out our razors for No-Shave November wasn't really an option we'd consider). Nail artist melcisme used China Glaze Nail Lacquer with Hardeners in Change Your Attitude and White on White to create this dapper design. If facial hair isn't really your thing (and we suspect it's not for most women), you can still give men's health a nod with this jaunty gray and white nail art idea.

Mani of the Week: Latte-Inspired Nail Art Created by: @fashnfitlife With fall slowly fading into winter, we know you're holding onto your autumn mindset until the very last second, even if department stores are already playing Christmas songs (damn it, Santa -- this is not your moment). Determined to hold onto our pumpkin spice lattes a little longer, we're plucking fall nail art inspiration from our coffee cups (red or otherwise). This neutral, minimalist design was created by fashnfitlife, using Jenna Hipp Nail Polish in Life Is But A Cream and Ooh La Latte. The result: A simple nail art design that warms up the fingertips almost as much as our favorite seasonal beverages do. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Starry Winter Nails

Mani of the Week: Starry Winter Nails Created by: @hannahroxit You officially have our permission to debut festive winter nails, and we're absolutely in love with this look by hannahroxit. To create what we're calling a midnight winter wonderland design, she paired OPI Nail Lacquer in Umpires Come Out At Night with Inglot 02M Breathable Nail Enamel in Dream 201. It's a dazzling way to embrace the holiday spirit without being over the top (aka, no reindeers needed). SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Winter Wonderland

Mani of the Week: Winter Wonderland Created by: @essie The weather outside may be frightful, but this week's manicure is so delightful. We're bringing the winter wonderland inside with simple seasonal nail art. This dainty nail design was created by Essie, using Essie Nail Polish in Peak Show and Virgin Snow (they rhyme -- how poetic). So since you've got no place to go (we're assuming), paint your nails as you let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. SEE NEXT PAGE: Mani of the Week: Neon Snowflakes
