This week’s gorgeous edition of Mani Monday is inspired by the ever-so-popular French manicure. This angled French manicure is an updated version of the classic that uses black and gold to give your nails a hint of sophistication and shine. The best part about this mani is that it goes with just about any outfit, and will leave your nails looking pretty and polished from day to date.

What is it about lace that makes it so feminine, but also so sexy? Maybe it’s the colors that decide which interpretation to take on, but then what would we call this simple black and white lace design? Simply put, I think it’s just lovely…lovely Lulu*s lace!

There are so many pretty lace pieces right now at Lulus.com like these black lace trimmed matador pants. Whether you love your lace in peplums or pleats, lace looks gorgeous and simple on your nails!

If you’re looking for a fashion-forward way to add some flair to your nails, but don’t feel confident drawing designs yet, then this Ikat mani may be perfect for you!

This simple tutorial was inspired by these Laundry Room Aztec Cutoffs. I matched these cheeky colors with the colors on the shorts, but any variation on bright colors would work well too. Dig through your collection to find some complimentary colors, then go nuts! This is one of the easiest designs to recreate yourself.

Tribal print is traditionally dyed with the most beautiful and rich dyes derived from natural, juicy fruits. While this LuLu*s inspired look may not have the most natural colors in it, it’s certainly keeping with the bright colors I’ve grown to associate tribal prints with!

This manicure was inspired by this bright Billabong Tribal Print Purse! I chose a more coral/hot pink for my mani, but the yellow, teal and indigo stitching was pulled almost directly from the look of the bag.

While this tribal nail tutorial may be a bit more advanced and requires more patience, tools, and clean-up, the end result is so striking that everyone needs to give it a try!

My feminine bow tutorial was inspired by the colors of spring and the fashionable outfits on Lulus.com! One of my favorite dresses is the Because You Bow Better Ivory Dress. The open back is transformed from dangerously sexy to ultra-cute with a simple bow accent.

I used some soft pastels for my nails’ bows, but you can make this mani sexy with red, or sultry with navy. Experiment with different color combinations to find the right fit for you!
