The best nail looks of the week have one thing in common: they were clearly chosen by people who understand that a manicure can do just as much for an outfit as the right shoe or bag. These are nails for the fashion girls—the ones who notice when a stripe feels very East Coast summer and know exactly which print is unmistakably Pucci. They would also never underestimate the power of a toe ring.
This week’s standout manicures aren’t simply pretty; they feel styled. A shimmering jade base picks up the stones in a beaded necklace, while candied polish make a pair of Havaianas look suddenly editorial. Elsewhere, a clean neutral manicure becomes far more interesting when surrounded by stacks of rings. Even the playful designs have a fashion point of view. Pill-shaped color blocking feels cheeky, chunky polka dots add something graphic, and bright citrus shades bring the energy of a summer accessory.
