Girl, it's time to say good riddance to the same boring nails you've been wearing forever. I'm here to convince you to try nail art ideas straight from the runway. Like the bold and colorful makeup looks at NYFW, nails were also way more fun this season. Lots and lots of bright colors, sparkles, squiggly lines, polka dots and more were spotted on manicures backstage. Ahead, the best nail looks you'll want to add to your nail inspo mood board, and your shopping cart, immediately.

Paintbox creative director Mabelyn Martin designed a mani minimalists will love, with a partial outline allowing the natural nail to shine through. "Creating a partial outline of the nail with this curvy design gives the nails a sexy edge by exposing the natural nail while slightly framing it with a rich pop of color," she explained. "Natural hand movements reveal both bare shine and an unexpected graphic detail."

Celebrity nail artist Lisa Logan used Emilie Heathe nail products to free-hand multicolored stripes with colors that coordinate with the collection. "For the nail look, we wanted to create a look that would pop but not clash with the colors of the collection," Logan says. "The idea, was as the model walks down the runway, you would see see thumbs first that would coordinate and often match the color of the garment she was wearing."
BIbhu
"When I met with Bibhu, he showed me the collection and discussed diversity and inclusivity," Nail artist Naomi Yasuda said. "This collection was very youthful and colorful but still classy." They decided to create a classic French manicure but to use five different colors to match the entire collection and make it even more playful by adding a crystal embellishment.
