11. Half-painted nailsÂ
Our next nail look is incredibly stylish but so simple. You could easily do this yourself and with any color that you choose. The sharp lines somehow give your nails a more pointed and elegant look, even though it’s simply a diagonal line in the middle of your nails. If you feel like this look needs a little more, paint the other side of your nails another color!
12. Rainbow french mani
If we’re talking about a french mani with a twist, this look certainly gives you that! It’s fun, flirty, and just what your nails need to look extra special. Sure, a classic french manicure is great, but there’s nothing wrong with having a little fun with colors. Go with rainbow colors like pictured below, or pick one or two that really stand out to you. Have fun with this look!

Say hello to these cute and funky swirl nails! If you’re tired of the same old same old when it comes to nail designs, this look is definitely a great option and is super trendy. It’s bold but not too bold and is perfect for when you just want to spice things up with your nails. Go with a bright red, or go for a more subtle swirl color. It’s all up to you!
