7 Nail Ideas that Aren’t Tacky
It seems like all of the sudden everyone got bored with regular nail polish. There are fabulous colors coming out all the time, but monotone one-shades are such a thing of the past. Enter: nail art. It's raging on every social network, and we promise that four out of every five girls you'd stop on the street will have some version thereof. Why not join in on the parade and adopt one of these insanely awesome patterns, colors and ideas:

Neon Polka Dots
Why it's awesome: Neon is one of summer's hit trends, and polka dots are always a girly way of sprucing up the place. The fact that the dots are different colors is just an added bonus.
What your nail polish says about you
Sunset Ombre
Why it's awesome: Try going anywhere right now without running into an ombre hairdo, mani or maxidress print. We dare you. This color combo is a sweet one because orange and pink aren't exactly from the same color family, but they're neighborly enough that they blend together smoothly.
Musical Prodigy
Why it's awesome: There's nothing tacky about hitting those notes. Remember when your mom was disappointed you quit piano at age eight? Here's your (creative) way of making it up to her.
Match your mani to your favorite celeb!
Clean-Cut Geo
Why it's awesome: This sleek, almost techy look begs to be paired with a slicked-back, stick-straight ponytail.
Mixing It Up
Why it's awesome: Ooooo, looky here. So pretty. We love how every finger is totally different, yet a color scheme is maintained to pull the look together. We especially love the ring finger floral, another sure way to make a girl smile.

Color Blocking
Why it's awesome: Color blocking is a huge trend that's seeped into everything from handbags to swimsuits, so why not wear it on your tips?
Tribal Sensation
Why it's awesome: Really? You must ask why? Look at it! It's a crazy party on your nails that guarantees endless "OMG how did you do that??" questions, stares and imitations. Simply spectacular.
